This is, in fact, true.
I’m so sorry to every reader who is excited about Blood Moon, and I wished we didn’t have to wait longer, BUT I can for SURE let you know that if you preordered a hardcover, the 1st editions ARE COMING WITH SOMETHING spectacular. That’s all I can share now.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

✨It’s my birthday✨

The end of Blood Moon is the equivalent to Hayley Williams belting out, “all I wanted was you.” In front of a live audience that is shouting the same thing back to her….🥹

EXCERPT

Something itches under Peleas’ skin, a little ache in his chest. Each word and gesture is a new picture of a future that couldn’t come faster.
Thetis rests her free hand next the salad bow. He should take and place it to his heart, make her feel how hard it’s beating.

Pining vs denial of feelings
Myth reimagining
Classy vs dork
Reverse grumpy x sunshine

Therapy is not enough.

I had to write about grief and morally grey characters to get over the fact that I was never the chosen one growing up.

Britney S Lewis @britneyslewis.bsky.social · Feb 8

Blood Moon has a pretty large cast.

I’m considering getting maybe quick sketches of each character so you can at least know what they look like.

What do we think? Yay or nay?
