Meat Cute is a clean m/m shifter rom-com short story featuring an adorable, jock werewolf and the nerdy housemate who's determined to get his attention. 🐺 Happy reading! 📖  Happy Pride Month!!
Pride is one of my favourite months of the year because the love, support and kindness in the queer community is just overflowing. To celebrate this month, I have a #IndiePride book bingo card available on my Instagram story highlights. You can play along with me @myendlessshelf. Sadly, I haven't read as many books as I'd hoped yet this month as I'm busy getting things setup for Spellbound's upcoming release (more on that very soon!), but here's a couple of books you might be interested in. Plus, keep an eye out later this month for a free gift from me to you 😊 🐺 Turn the Page Podcast: Episode 4: Read With Pride & Vampire Urban Fantasy with Josie Jaffrey26/5/2024

I have some exciting news to share with you today - Spellbound: A Fantasy Short Story Collection has an official release date! I'm not going to announce it here just yet (because I like to tease) but keep your eyes peeled for a video letting you know when pre-orders are open.
For now though, I've had a lot of fun creating a playlist and mood board for this book over on Pinterest and Spotify. A snippet of the mood board is blow, just click on it to visit Pinterest. It's full of images that I feel really vibe with the characters in my stories, and I'm ridiculously excited to bring them into the world. The playlist is entirely bizarre and includes songs by Frank Sinatra, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion and Duran Duran. A bit like the characters in Spellbound, these songs are very varied, but somehow they seem to work together. I hope you enjoy! Check out the mood board:

Join host Kay for episode three of Turn the Page: The Indie Book Podcast as she shares some of the indie books she's been reading lately, suggests ways to support your favourite indie authors, chats with Kristina Carmela, creator of the Indieverse Awards, and spotlights a new indie book of the month.
