Over three years since the last actual chapter and I am finally back with the biggest news ever (so far) !!!
After finishing this story, I thought... what now? Everyone loved the physical copies, but I couldn't really do anything about that because I was legally not allow to sell Potter? ; It wasn't - and still isn't - technically mine.
And then, quite quickly, the idea for an original novel formed in my head. Something to honor the community we've created here, while simultaneously making it fully and wholly my own. Separated from magic and dark lords and highschoolers.
Birthed was LESSONS IN FAKING - my debut novel based on this fanfiction. My first bookbaby found the sweetest, most loving publishing home with LYX last year and is set to release on October 25, 2024.
If you follow me on Instagram (seselinamae), you probably already knew this lol I can't seem to shut up about it on there, so if you'd like more unnecessary updates about the smallest things, make sure to follow me there!!
ANYWAY you're probably hot for tropes, blurb and cover so I won't hold out on you any longer. Please please please count all the "Potter?" similarities you can find hehe
Tropes: - brother's enemy - forced tutoring - annoyance to lovers - fake dating - college sport
Blurb: There's one thing Athalia Pressley wants more than anything: Her twin brother's affection. Since their parents' death, Henry hasn't given her much of it - until a halfway-to-failed class and the need for a tutor land Athalia in his enemy's lap. Suddenly she's awarded Henry's undivided attention, and if she wants to keep it that way, she needs Dylan McCarthy Williams' help. She's not fond of her brother's rival, his slick comments, or that know-it-all attitude. Not even the fluffy hair, dreamy eyes, or body of a college soccer player help. But through forced laughs and fake dates, it seems the two can leave their bickering behind to chase one common goal: A Pressley's attention.

LESSONS IN FAKING is officially preorderable on amazon now!! You can find the link to it in my bio or on instagram!!!
PSA: For anyone who isn't from Germany, Austria or Switzerland, you'll still have to preorder through the German distributors, which means the easiest (and most pocket-friendly) way for you is to preorder the ebook on Amazon. If you want a paperback, make sure you're on the german amazon - the paperbacks are only available on amazon.de ! :)
I'm genuinely so excited for you guys to read Athalia and Dylan's story in October, and I hope it gives you all the feels when you realise where most inspiration was drawn from. "Potter?" holds a special place in my heart not only because of how popular it is or how many doors it has opened for me, but because of the community it's become. When I'm sad, I still come here to read silly comments that make me smile (or shake my head in disbelief).
I love you guys endlessly and I hope with this book I can finally give back all the love you've shown me over the years. <3
I'll be back on October 25 when this releases, so it's not forever goodbye yet, but we are pretty close to it and I miss you already.
