Because they can can CAN sparkle ✨💃🏽 . . . With the official book cover having just dropped last week and these arriving in the mail yesterday, it’s been a whirlwind of very pretty things lately! Of course, all thanks to @wednesdaybooks for providing the pretty and @wednesday_design for making it—it’s rare to hold your own words even once, so to have so many chances with WHERE DREAMS DESCEND in its various iterations has felt so surreal. Though with these being the official ARCs, we are ~finally~ at the penultimate stage of the physical book form, which means the next version is the FINAL version. Final, final. Out in the world, final. Still a ways off from that point though, so I’ll enjoy spending some time with these super sparkly, soft cover beauties for the months ahead 🥰 For anyone interested in requesting a lovely early copy such as this, you can check out the contact page on my website which has an ARC request form provided by my publisher. And of course I’ll be hosting some giveaways as well so keep an eye on my social media so you don’t miss a thing! . . . #WhereDreamsDescend #roaring20sdebut #wednesdaybooks #bookgram #bookish #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #authors #writersofinstagram #writersofig #bookaddict #ireadya #bookphotography #phantomoftheopera #moulinrouge #bookaholic #yafiction #amreading #bookworm

🌹 WHERE DREAMS DESCEND COVER REVEAL! 🌹 . . . Link in my bio for the full reveal and excerpt provided by @bnteens! All of this magnificence is credited to the amazing folks at @wednesdaybooks, most notably the brilliant designer @kres626 and talented artist @alcainoillustration ❤️ . . . True story: when I first saw a draft of this cover, I had to run into one of my office's bathroom stalls just to cry because I was so overwhelmed. The beautiful font, the gorgeous chandelier, all the RED. And most importantly, my main character Kallia, right there in the spotlight. For people who don't know, I wrote my bold, powerful showgirl Kallia during a time when I felt the furthest from my dream of becoming a published author. In that time of failure, writing Kallia helped pick me back up---or should I say yank me back up, because it was almost as if she REFUSED to let me stay down. She needed her stage, and so I wrote her story. I don't know if other writers ever feel emotionally indebted to their characters, but I certainly feel that way with Kallia. . . . No surprise, seeing her on this cover made me extremely emotional. Not just that, but also seeing a WOC owning the page, feeling like characters who looked like me could belong in lush, fantasy worlds in gorgeous gowns and be the main leads of the story. Not just the side characters. To see all of this unfold on one cover--MY cover--hits me hard every time I look at it. I'd always dreamed of seeing more covers like this when I was younger, because I so rarely saw them and I so badly needed them as a reader. Nowadays, walking down the aisles of a bookstore, there are SO many covers that celebrate how representation matters. How visibility matters. How something like seeing a WOC descending from a chandelier matters. This is truly a magical moment, and I’m so happy to be able to share it with you all ❤️ . . . #roaring20sdebut #WhereDreamsDescend #yafiction #yafantasy #writerslife #writerscommunity #authorlife #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writersofig #bookgram #bookish #coverreveal #bookworm #phantomoftheopera #moulinrouge #thenightcircus #wednesdaybooks #ireadya #bookaholic
