Release Day for Connections! The Unexpected First Collection

Tomorrow, there will be a new book in the world – Connections! The Unexpected First Collection!

We say that it’s unexpected because we honestly didn’t realize how much we were writing until we did a word count and poof! there’s enough to fill a book!

This is set in between Assassins! Accidental Matchmakers and Monsters! Incidental Wedding Guests, but you don’t have to have read those first. Our publisher River City Siren Press didn’t, on purpose, so that she could ensure that this stood on its own. I’m proud to say that it does. It also gives a lot of background to the main books, and there’s a lot of Easter Eggs hidden within – some a lot more obvious than others.

Whether this is your introduction to the Aetherverse, or if you’ve read everything else we’ve written, there’s something in here for you.

It’s all connected.
