Azaléa Reviér is no ordinary exorcist. She’s the temptation on his shoulder, the blade at his throat…the muse crossroads demon Zarazîn will betray Hell for.

DEMON CHEVALIER

Barterer of souls, pianist silenced by grief—crossroads demon Zarazîn never expected an exorcist to revive his ache for ebony-and-ivory keys nor to betray Hell for a love forbidden to bloom. If only exposure wouldn’t promise a fate crueler than death.

“Fictional men don’t yearn anymore” okay, then explain this.

So, I finally took the leap and left my literary agency and my agent. I'm looking for an agent/agency that helps develop their talent as well as knowing how to best market them. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

5 mins from the beautiful river “Aare”, massive mountain chain “Jura” right behind us 🫠👌 lots of agriculture around us. It’s hella peaceful.

Have you ever tried cheese fondue or raclette? 😭🙌
