FINALLY

I make good on my rash promises and spill ALL the secrets

HI FRIENDS HI FRIENDS HIIIIIIII!!!

Okay, do you remember me promising you a secret a few months ago, right around the time THE RIPPLE EFFECT came out?

So it turns out I’d already been sitting on that secret for several months, and then I had to sit on it for several MORE months, because what is publishing if not a machine designed to dangle your dreams tantalizingly within reach, only to yoink them back again? But now the news is out and I can share:

I GET TO PUBLISH MORE BOOKS!!!

When I tell you this is beyond my wildest dreams, I mean it, because the arts are a WEIRD career, y’all. My day job is in STEM, and it is predictable AF. I go to a place for one (1) day, I do one (1) work, and I get paid one (1) money.

Meanwhile, writing is like . . . *laughs uncomfortably* . . . I’m about to do thousands of hours of work that may go nowhere and pay me nothing! I will definitely cry about it several times and freak out at least once a week for a year! What could go wrong? Ahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!

Anyway, much like a romance, it all turned out in the end and I’m in love with everything about this book. I’m going to leave you with a sneak peek of Ripley (badass Montanan ex-paleontologist, now private fossil collector) and James (the Britishest of professors, pretends to be stiff but is basically three plushies in a Savile Row suit). I can’t wait for you to meet them next summer! I’ll be back with a cover reveal (soonish? I know better than to promise anything this time around) and preorder links.

Wishing you every good thing,

Maggie
