A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has read, voted, and supported this book. It means the world to me that you would trust me to experiment with a new genre. It was difficult at times, not embedding any magical or supernatural elements to this story but I DID IT!!
While I do plan on expanding this story to round it out a bit better, I'm not sure contemporary romance is my jam. I had a lot of fun writing this but definitely missed world building. I guess it depends on reader feedback if I will write this genre again. Of course, romance in general is always going to be in my stories, no matter what genre :)
**Keep an eye out for my first published story, set to be published by thee OwlCrate, a literary subscription box service / newly founded press. More info to come later but my short story, "She Blooms at Night," will be included in their very first romantasy/ horror-romance themed anthology called, Monsters of Masquerade. I comped my story as INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE x HUNGER GAMES, so take that as you will, lol. I am SUPER EXCITED!! I'll be able to give out a free copy soon, probably either through Insta or Twitter, so make you visit the bio on my profile and follow me! I also follow back!**
Here is the cover and first sentence of "She Blooms at Night"
Here are some highlights from ECH that I put together. Most of these images were pinned by the one and only @swoonvellope via Pinterest. I just had to share these amazing quotes and photos she found!!
I can't believe the contest is officially over now, but I'm looking forward to catching up on all the awesome ONC reads. Don't forget to submit for the third round!
See you all soon,
Ann K.
