SUPERS IN THE CITY
THIS IS MY FIRST TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED SERIES AHHH!!!
​
Being traditionally published means a lot to me as a Black author who will be starring almost exclusively Black and mixed Black characters as MCs across this series. In case you weren't aware, less than 6% of authors are Black, 85% of the people working in traditional publishing are white and just under 8% of bestselling romance novels are by people of color.
This also brings the pressure! EEK! I am so determined for this 'debut' to do well and I would love your help! The best ways to support this release are to:
1) Preorder!
2) Review the ARC!
3) Share, share, share!
4) and if you are a bookstore, work with me!
​
One of the fascinating things I have learned in this trad process is that hype within 30 days of release is actually the MOST helpful as it does something magical with the algorithm. That said, I am happy as a clam for you to do any of these anytime or more than once <3

Need PR (Montlake)
He's a villain looking for a hero rebrand. She's the marketing genius who can make it happen in this fantastical romantic comedy. Over two decades ago, forty-eight young, gifted superheroes fell to Earth and were eventually marketed as opposing brands: heroes and villains. Now, one exceptionally gruff bad guy is looking to hop teams. Hello, PR director Vanessa Theriot. His real name is Roland Casteel a.k.a. the Pyro. First, swap that with the less incinerating the Wyvern. Next, put him in spandex to highlight that near-godlike body. Finally, give that hero in training a heroine--if Vanessa will play the part in a pretend romance guaranteed to make the city swoon. She's game. As shy as Vanessa is, it's her job to be Roland's very own Lois Lane. Who knew that fake dating would change their worlds? But falling head over heels for real makes for a dangerous shift in the narrative. A monstrous supervillain is bringing out Roland's bad side again. This time, it's to save a woman who, against all the odds, is becoming the human love of his superhero life.
