Dedicated to Team Sloth and Steady - one of whom was the first to receive their physical copy!

And many thanks to @solarisbooks.bsky.social @alrutter.bsky.social and @allegramartsch.bsky.social for making my dream a reality.

A picture of the dedication page, which reads “to team Sloth and Steady,” I would rob a casino with you ladies any day.

Happy release day to my debut THE ELYSIUM HEIST!

FAQ:
- stand alone
- multi POV first person narration
-spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
-rep: bi, ace, lesbian, Jewish
- not a traditional heist, heavy on the romance

It’s a digital first release so your best price is the ebook (3.99) but there’s POD too! Links in bio.

Shiny gold floor and shiny silver wall. On the bottom left is a fanned deck of silver playing cards. On the bottom right is a set of charms in the shape of ace, spade, heart, and Diamond and a silver ring with an etched ace of hearts. Propped up against the wall is a copy of The Elysium Heist. Leaning against the book is a dice stick. Behind them stretched across the wall is a Diamond tiara.

Having some fun with the “she’s a ten but…” meme and the cast of THE ELYSIUM HEIST. I think they’re all tens, but I get that they can be a bit much.

Three in the comments.
