Happy Fourth of July weekend!

I think we can all agree on one thing: no matter where we stand politically, it’s pretty remarkable that our country has made it through 250 years. Here’s to 250 more.

And a heartfelt thank-you to all of our military members, veterans, and military families who have sacrificed so much to help get us here. Your service and your families’ sacrifices are deeply appreciated.

Now for some fun book news!

🎉 Own a one-of-a-kind annotated copy of NOBODY’S QUEST! (Today is the final day to bid!)

I’ve been scribbling notes throughout a special hardcover edition of NOBODY’S QUEST—behind-the-scenes thoughts about scenes, little tidbits about my writing process, random commentary… and yes, some truly terrible little drawings. 😂

This unique copy is being auctioned and TODAY IS THE LAST DAY, with all proceeds benefiting organizations that support voting rights.

📚 Jack & Tess are almost back!

I know so many of you have been asking when you’ll get your next Tiger’s Eye Mystery, and I’m happy to say…it’s almost here!

After looking at the schedule, I made an executive decision. Since A DEAD END HALLOWEEN really belongs closer to Halloween, you’ll actually be getting HARD ON THE EYE first—currently looking like August!

You can preorder it here:

🎙️ Behind the scenes!

I had the chance to do a couple of really fun interviews this month.

If you’ve ever wondered about my writing process, the inspiration behind NOBODY’S QUEST, or what goes on behind the scenes while creating a fantasy world, check these out:

Ex Libris (the largest bookstore in Switzerland—and yes, the interview is available in English, too!)

And I had a wonderful conversation with Fanbase Press:

As always, thank you for reading my books, sharing them with friends, leaving reviews, and cheering me on. Every message, every recommendation, and every photo of your books absolutely makes my day.

Have a safe, happy Fourth of July weekend—and I’ll see you again very soon with more book news!

XOXO,

Alyssa
