...Some of you may have seen my FB post in the wee hours of this morning, but Earth is officially posted to Amazon!! ๐Just gotta wait for the "powers that be" to make it available (with Askara, it was within 8 hrs, if I remember correctly so hopefully by this evening ). Hang in there lovely people! No pressure, right? ๐ ๐
*Update 9/9/18*
Hey you guys!! I'll be posting Earth to Amazon this coming Thurs evening, the 13th!! ๐ (I try not to rush final read-throughs cuz that's when the magic happens *eyebrow wag*). But cue happy dance! Are you excited?? I know I am LOL. I'm not sure how long it'll take to show up on Amazon/Kindle but probably within 24 hours. I'll be sure to post here as soon as it does.
As far as pre-orders: I can't, unfortunately, because they don't let you touch the manuscript for like 3-5 days prior (that I'm aware) and I'm still working. Haven't been able to respond to comments yet, but I will. You all are amazing๐๐ Almost there.
*Update 9/5/18*
Just got the manuscript back yesterday yawl :) Working hard and will try to keep you posted but I've only just started edits and final read-throughs. I want to make sure it will be something deserving of your time <3 I'm also keeping an eye out for a good lil teaser, so stay tuned๐ Wow, those comments Lol. You guys rock! XO

Quick post to say, it's in my editor's hands!! Not that I'm impatient or anything๐ These things take time. But. Looking less likely for a Labor Day weekend release๐ญ I know. I'll post another update as soon as I get the manuscript back. And maybe another teaser. ๐ Hang in there everybody! You guys are THE best ๐
Oh! As for pre-orders, because I have had some asking, and thank you SO much. I'd love to be that on top of it in the future and was seriously considering for Earth. But with it being so close to release, I think I'll just be posting it as soon as it's ready. So stay tuned...
(Here's the official blurb)๐
*Part II/conclusion of Saving Askara*
Tori knows Aderus sees dealing with Earth as necessary to an unlikely, but last-ditch effort to save his world, as she tries to bridge the gap between two vastly different species while proving to him she’s more than just some unimpressive human. But her fascination and his frustration have led to an attraction she’s unprepared to handle. Or more precisely, the consequences of acting on it; which not only involve changes to her body, but struggling with what the fierce Askari inspires. And what’s actually possible between them.
***
Aderus never imagined a creature like Tori would be what he has come to crave, even over his own kind. The sentiments she provokes perturb as much as they invite and entice him and understanding her proves a separate challenge. But when his actions result in an unintended threat to the balance of power in a fragile alliance between their two races, he is forced to weigh his trust in her against the only thing that matters to him. Or so he thought.
