Romance author, romance scholar. Senior Lecturer in Writing, Literature & Culture at Deakin (Naarm/Melbourne). My newest rom-com, An Academic Affair, is out now.
January 18, SON OF THE MORNING, Akwaeke Emezi.

If you like both magic and magical prose, then this book - about a woman powerful enough to bring both the devil and his lieutenant to their knees - is one for you.

I don't think I'm capable of writing a book that doesn't set up more books, to be honest! I could never leave the sisters behind.

No buy links yet, but this is A Study in Sparkling. It's about the sister of the hero from An Academic Affair, and it'll be out later this year.

This is absolutely it, imo!!

Maybe if the board had contained at least one (1) writer they might have been able to come up with something at least slightly more substantial.

...but my goodness, what a terrible apology. Apologising for "how the decision was represented"? Woof.
