Mine is too - is 'explosions' a euphemism?

Best of luck with the book launch!

I'll be waiting patiently for the Cruel Stars 3 and the announcement of the follow on trilogies (yes, plural).

It's funny how you talk about characters doing their own thing and a romance novel coming out of that. A long time ago I was doodling around in an urban fantasy story and one of the characters had an ex show up and suddenly, sparks. It certainly wasn't planned. I am not a romance writer at all, but the ASB post reminded me of that, and I dug it up and had a read and jesus christ you can't really go back to your unedited work can you?

Very excited for the expansion into romance in the JBVerse! Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? 🥳

Hey JB, interested in a continuity error? Sophie asking for a cup of tea and then putting sugar into her coffee?
