    Some of my favorite reads of 2025 …

    I can’t believe we’re almost to the end of 2025. Where has the year gone?! It seems like January was just last week. Here are some of my favorite read this year: 

    • Emily’s Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett: This is the first book in the Emily Wilde cozy fantasy series about a professor who researches faeries. Emily is a delightfully smart and grumpy heroine, and the descriptions of the faeries are both lovely and frightening. 
    • The Serpent and the Wolf by Rebecca Robinson: After her mother’s death, Vaasa inherited a dark magic that is slowly killing her. In order to learn to control her dangerous new power, Vaasa forges an alliance with an enemy ruler, but devious villains threaten everything they are fighting to protect. This is the first book in the Dark Inheritance romantasy series.
    • Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes: When eighteen-year-old Sawyer is offered a contract by her wealthy grandmother to participate in debutante season, she accepts the deal to learn more about her family, including who her father is. This is the first book in the Debutantesseries, and it’s a twisty young-adult mystery with lots of family secrets.

    I am doing a special edition for Only Bad Options, book #1 in my Galactic Bonds series. It’s the story you know and love in a special collector’s edition! Here is a look at the dust jacket, the sprayed edges, and the hardcover book. Isn’t it gorgeous??? 😎

    The special edition features:

    • A dark blue dust jacket with silver foil
    • A black/dark gray hardcover book with blue/purple foil
    • Color endpapers
    • Color/sprayed edges
    • A two-page interior map
    • A new interior print design
    • Kitty Boodle Easter eggs hidden in the art 😁🐈

    The dust jacket, hardcover, map, and endpapers were designed by the awesome Jenny Zemanek, while the interior print design is by The INKfluence, who also guided the book (and me!) through the production process.

    SPECIAL EDITION PRICE AND SHIPPING:

    The special edition of Only Bad Options is $60. I’m estimating the shipping will be $10, but it might be more/less, depending on postage prices, especially during the holiday season.

    I hope to receive the special edition books by mid-December, so I can’t guarantee that they will arrive in time for Christmas. Please keep that in mind when ordering.

    I also have some oopsie copies of Only “Rouge” Actions available.

    The rest of my print books, bookmarks, etc. are the usual prices with the usual shipping rates. If you don’t want a special edition copy of Options, I can ship your books out the first/second week of December, so you should receive those in time for the holidays. But again, no guarantees.

    I will share more info about the special edition — especially potential shipping dates/costs — as it becomes available. In the meantime, I am doing a happy dance over the book. I hope everyone loves the special edition as much as I do. Thank you for reading! ❤️

    ONLY BAD OPTIONS DESCRIPTION:

    “This is space opera at its finest.” — Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep blasts off with an exciting new science-fiction fantasy adventure with a dash of historical romance. This action-packed space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soul mates and enemies-to-lovers story. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, DuneBridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

    A WOMAN WHO SEES EVERYTHING . . .

    Few people know the name Vesper Quill. To most folks, I’m just a lowly lab rat who designs brewmakers and other household appliances in the research and development lab at the powerful Kent Corp. But when I point out a design flaw and a safety hazard in the new line of Kent Corp spaceships, everyone knows who I am—and wants to eliminate me.

    I might be a seer with a photographic memory, but I don’t see the trouble headed my way until it’s too late. Suddenly, I’m surrounded by enemies and fighting for my life.

    I don’t think things can get any worse until I meet Kyrion Caldaren, an arrogant Regal lord who insists that we have a connection, one that could be the death of us both.

    A MAN WHO CAN’T FORGET HIS PAST . . .

    The name Kyrion Caldaren strikes fear in the hearts of people across the Archipelago Galaxy. As the leader of the Arrows, the Imperium’s elite fighting force, I’m used to being a villain, as well as the personal assassin of Lord Callus Holloway. Even the wealthy Regals who live on the planet of Corios are afraid of me.

    But everything changes when I meet Vesper Quill. I might be a powerful psion with telepathic, telekinetic, and other abilities, but Vesper sees far too many of my secrets.

    Thanks to an arcane, unwanted quirk of psionic magic, the two of us are forced to work together to unravel a dangerous conspiracy and outwit the deadly enemies who want to bend us to their will.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Kitty Boodle wants to wish everyone a Happy (early) Thanksgiving! 😊

    Boodle likes to curl up under this bush and watch the birds and other critters in the yard. I love the little bits of color from the fall leaves scattered around her.

    Thanksgiving is my favorite weekend of the year. Family, friends, food, football, holiday movies . . . I love it all. 

    I hope everyone has a good, safe holiday weekend filled with all the things that bring you joy and peace. I will be hanging out with Little Debbie and Kitty Boodle, eating way too many turkey sandwiches, putting up my holiday decorations, and watching lots of football and holiday rom-coms.

    If anyone needs a book to read for the long holiday weekend, A Touch of Treachery, Section 47 book #3, and Only Rogue Actions, Galactic Bonds book #5, are both out now.

    Special edition of Only Bad Options with a dark blue dust jacket with silver foil
