Welcome back to the hive, everyone! This newsletter comes with a couple of updates, but I'll try to keep them brief. It's been an incredibly hectic time in my personal life, but there are a few exciting things to announce--and more to come in the coming months.

First, Pray For Him is getting a limited run special edition book box! I've mentioned it before, but Laughing Man House pub is releasing a gorgeous edition of the book (along with stunning editions of two other religious horror books, He Who Bleeds and Terminal Inferno). It's available for order now, and will be shipping soon, so if you want it, now's the time! Find it here: https://www.lmhpub.com/product-page/smitten-land-book-crate-through-the-stained-glass

Also in Pray For Him news, there will be an audiobook coming soon! Haruspex Audio is producing an audiobook, and it's already well under way. I'm so ecstatic to have this new way to read the book available, as accessibility of my work is so important to me. I'm grateful to Haruspex for making this happen. While it isn't for sale or preorder yet, it shouldn't be long before there's news on that front. Be sure to follow along with Haruspex, as their mission to make audiobooks more accessible for indie books, authors, and readers is going to be a great thing. Find Haruspex online at https://haruspex-audio.com/ or on instagram as @haruspexaudio !

Next, Flesh & Flora, a charity horror romance anthology curated by Azalea Crowley and featuring stories from nine authors. It's themed around plant monsters, and all proceeds benefit the National Wildlife Federation. The book will only be available in its current form until June, so order or check it out on KU now! You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Flesh-Flora-Romance-Charity-Anthology-ebook/dp/B0GHZM3QXY/

Next, I wanted to share a reminder that I've launched an author discord server where I'll share periodic news, teasers--and ARC and street team information when available. This will be the best place to get access to early information (in addition to this newsletter, of course), and the main place to receive ARCs or street team access (but ARCs may also be available by email for some larger releases as well). You can apply to join at this link (replacing the google form link from before): https://discord.gg/eAj78vXDju

As mentioned as a possibility in a previous newsletter, I’m relaunching my itchio site. While I’m still unhappy about everything that happened, and the lack of proper resolution, the widest possible access to my books is important to me. Therefore, I’ve uploaded my last short story release to itchio (found here: https://whosthistyler.itch.io/a-house-built-for-love). Both my itch and my payhip will be active storefronts to purchase ebooks from me.

Last update for today is just to remind you that World Bee Day is on May 20. I know it's early, but with spring arriving (not that you can tell with all this snow I'm getting today), it's a good time to think about the bees. What have you done lately to appreciate the bees? Do the bees deem you worthy, safe, and full of love? Food for thought! 🐝

That's everything for now. Stay tuned for more updates and talk to you all again soon!
