The Epistle

Deep discounts and a spicy dark academia treat

Hello dear readers! Pick the ripest piece of fruit from the tree and sink your teeth into the tender flesh. I’ve got a bite-sized email for you today, so let’s get right into it!

Barnes and Noble Preorder Sale

It’s that time of year again! Barnes and Noble is offering 25% off all preorders through July 17th, plus an extra 10% off for members! That means you can save a cool fiver on your hardcover of ODD SPIRITS (magical marriage-in-trouble prequel novella to EVOCATION all about Rhys and Moira), or your paperback of AN EDUCATION IN MALICE (sapphic dark academia 1960s vibefest inspired by Carmilla), or both!

AN EDUCATION IN MALICE Deleted Scene

I’ve got an extra Epistle newsletter coming to you this month: an exclusive deleted sex scene from AN EDUCATION IN MALICE featuring a certain book of sapphic poetry stolen from the Saint Perpetua’s library. You don’t have to do anything at all to receive this deleted scene; it is a completely free gift that will be delivered to your inbox tomorrow. Keep a weather eye on the horizon.

Everything I’ve Been Loving Lately

I am so back into perfume after getting a decluttering bug at midnight last night and cleaning out my collection. I’m enjoying learning more about how perfume is made and smelling everything I can get my hands on in department stores and boutiques. It’s a good reminder that even things that can feel a little unapproachable (perfume, wine, cinema, ect) don’t have to be elite or intimidating. If something brings you joy, you can find your own entry point and get deeper into it at your own pace!

This summer I’ve really been into androgynous green scents like Dirty Grass by Heretic and the Jungle Santal body spray by Finery, which you can find in your local Target for just $15!

That’s all I’ve got for you today, dear read! Be safe and well until we two meet again.
