Hi #booksky Gonna be vulnerable for a moment—I'm losing a big chunk of income because things are rough for indie bookstores right now. I'll be depending on my royalties while I look for more work. My new book is an atmospheric FFF+ gothic fantasy. You can support me at shop.tamarajeree.com

I swear I need to be better on here. 😩😭 If you're looking for a rugby romance wrapped in a rom-com, I have something for you. 📣ARCs go out next month! Sign up: bit.ly/oneknightstandarc #booksky #blackbooksky #romancebooksky
