Hi loves 💛

I have a VERY exciting update… and also a slightly embarrassing confession.
Let’s start with the big one:

🔥 Book 2 of Promised to the Pyre is Fully Drafted 🔥
As in… the first full draft of the sequel to Promised to the Pyre is complete (!!)
And I've already entered the next (dreaded) stage, which is ✨ editing ✨(Pray for me. Or send snacks)

BUT ALSO—this makes it feel real in a whole new way. This story is happening. Elyn is not done causing problems. And I cannot wait for you to see what’s coming.

Editing, Cover & Production Update
🎨 I’ve officially booked my cover designer for Stefanie
✍️ AND my editor Sam
These are the same two queens who helped make Promised to the Pyre what it is and I'm so very excited to be working with them again!

We are MOVING, people!

If all goes to plan book 2 will be coming in November 2026 👀✨

✨ Now for the confession ✨
I wish I could tell you I’ve been reading a ton lately… I have not 😅 I've been putting all of my focus into book 2 (and into finishing the book keeping for my first year running my own business—that was its own mountain to climb…)

However, I did read my first omegaverse romance recently and I finally get it! Damn that's a good concept 🔥
So if you have recs, I’m listening.

💛 A small but important ask
If you’ve read Promised to the Pyre and haven’t left a review yet…
I would be SO grateful if you could take a minute to do that—especially on Amazon (but truly anywhere helps more than you know).
Reviews make a massive difference for indie books. Like… genuinely career-impacting levels of difference. On top of that I just learned that once you hit 50 reviews on Amazon, the platform starts to push the book on a new level. We're quite close to 50 already in some countries and I'll be forever grateful if you'd help me reach that new level.

To everyone who has been posting, sharing, recommending, making videos, leaving comments…
I see you. I appreciate you. I am slightly emotional about you.
It means the world to me to watch this story reach new people because of you.
Your support means absulutely everything to me, and there have been multiple times on multiple days when your support is what's made me go back and type down another chapter. Thank you so much for all of you support💛

Okay that’s it from me (for now).
Back to editing chaos I go 🫡

With bookish love,
Vendy 💛
