VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE (Nov 2025) - adult cozy fantasy romance Rep: Brent Taylor at TriadaUS https://linktr.ee/emilykrempholtz

You grate fresh nutmeg into a pot of applesauce and ladle some into a small, delicate dish to set on your back step. In the morning, in its place, is a small bundle of black feathers tipped with violet, and a rough-made pot of acorn ink.

Keeping the dedication secret from Angela was SO HARD and SO WORTH IT she's the best critique partner and I'm so happy she managed to get her hands on a copy of VIOLET early so she could be surprised! 💚💚

Wanted to do a fun photo shoot with @writersofrohan.bsky.social’s book, and then I read the dedication and ended up crying in the mall!! I’m so excited to hold this book in my hands, and I’m so PROUD of you!! 🥰🥰🥰

A woman with a brunette braid and a hat holds up Emily Krempholtz’s debut book, Violet Thistlewaite is not a Villain Anymore” while crying a little bit.

The boy fell asleep against the willow, his hands unfurled, and driven by her loneliness, the East Wind scoured the earth for treasures to leave on his palm, so that when he awoke, he would see that there was someone who loved him.

You spend the morning collecting the last apples from the wild orchard, planning a feast of pies and butters and preserves. You always put a small, honey-sweet pie at the base of the oldest tree, and while you’ve never seen who takes it, afterward you’ll find odd coins in the bark all winter long.

You bite into butter-rich pastry, sharp cheddar and a hint of rosemary rolling over your tongue. The crumbs melt like snowflakes behind you as they land on the path, but you never did plan on finding your way back.

One of my favorite things is when you compliment someone in public and then everyone around you suddenly feels free to speak the kind things they've been thinking about each other and the line for the women's bathroom or whatever just becomes a huge hype space and everyone leaves with a smile
