Hello Readers!

I hope you're as excited as I am!

This is my second ongoing project, in addition to my Every Other Memory series. I am working on them at the same time, so please do not worry that I have abandoned the second book in my series! I assure you, it is well underway.

I was in need of some fresh inspiration, and new ideas to fuel my general creativity, so I have joined a competition managed by the talented (and oh so lovely) TriciaDehler .

I can personally recommend you check out some of her work like The Devil's Ballad (re-write in progress), The Devil's Bride, and The Devil's Bargain. You won't be disappointed, I promise!

As part of the Golden Writer Writing Contest, Tricia provided the original premise of the story and inspiration for the characters. It is up to me to see where I take it from there.

Tricia also inspired my cover design with one of her own original designs that I adapted.

I hope you enjoy coming along for the ride! As always, please be kind to one another, and to me, in the comments, all constructive feedback is welcome! <3

Xx Toria
