Hey everyone
Some of you have been with me since "Eva. Double Negatives", and I wanted to come here and tell you personally: the book is finally out. April 30 was the release date.
It’s called "Witch Around and Find Out now".
Same story, same characters, same chaos. But after about six months of editing, rewriting, and one very real cover crisis , it became an actual published book. That still feels a little unreal to say.
Here’s what the process actually looked like: two rounds of beta readers and two professional editors. I rewrote scenes that weren’t working. I removed the ones that didn’t work at all. I worked on the stakes, the character goals, and the romantic arc. I made mistakes(to-ons of them), and I learned something from them. If you’re ever curious about what worked, what didn’t, or what I’d do completely differently now, my DMs are open. I mean it.
The cover might also change at some point. I made the classic debut author mistake of not researching the current YA market well enough (well... technically, I did research it. I just failed, lol). Illustrated covers with faces aren’t as popular right now, and I didn’t realize that when I ordered mine. Live and learn. Updating it will cost another $240 on top of the $600 I already spent. OMG...
Three weeks post-launch, here’s where things currently stand:
• KU pages read: 13,066
• Ebooks sold: 10
• Paperbacks sold: 0
• Amazon reviews: 3
• Goodreads reviews: 5
• Total earnings: about $82
If you want to read it, it’s available on Kindle Unlimited for free if you have a subscription. Ebook and paperback formats are also available.

If you read it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.
Thank you for being here back when this story was just random draft chapters online. You have no idea how much that mattered to me.
