Until the Clock Strikes Midnight comes out NEXT WEEK!! Check to next slide to find out more about the story! Also, I’ll be traveling over to celebrate its release. Caption in the alt text :)

BildDearest Friends, In a quirky kingdom far, far away, where magic is real and glitters, a fairy and a Misfortune compete for a mentorship by helping a down-on-her-luck bookseller avoid an Unhappily Ever After in Until the Clock Strikes Midnight. Our fairy, Darling Sparkleton, believes everyone *needs* a Happily Ever After, while our Misfortune, Calamity son of Blight, believes only an Ordinary Ever After can prevent chaos. And our bookseller, Lucy, well... she believes that living is just something you do while you dream of art and the beautiful girl who makes your heart race every time she comes in to buy a book. But what if it could be more? This fairytale is near and dear to my heart; it’s inclusive, BOLD, and full of joy. It features representation that means the world to me; mental illness, disability, body neutrality, and never shies away from big, messy emotions. My hope is that by the end, you’ll feel seen and loved, and––like Darling and Calamity––believe all things are possible with compassion, trust, and a generous dash of fairy dust. I hope you’ll give it a chance. All the love, Alechia

TWO WEEKS until my cozy young adult romantasy comes out. Vibes are a fairytale devil and angel sitting on your shoulder giving you their conflicting advice while kinda sorta falling in love. I hope you’ll preorder a copy or eight.

The illustrated cover of ZOMROMCOM by Olivia Dade, featuring the tagline: Love can make you lose your head. The background is a speckly bright purple, and in the foreground are a man dressed in black and a woman in bright pink overalls and a white tank top standing back to back and holding hands. He has a huge sword at the ready, and she is brandishing a shiny cleaver. All around them, clutching at them from the edges of the image, are bright green zombie hands.

Please do not read my books if you don’t like queer characters living happily. I have published 6 books and every single one of them is queer normative. I will not put content warnings on LGBTQA+, you should not be surprised by the existence of people and I am not catering to your fanatical whims.
