Long Time No Write!
Hi guys! I’m back in the newsletter game, now on Substack. If you’re wondering “Ali, what have you been doing for the past few months?” the answer is, of course: hanging out with my new kitten and trying to stop her from eating my other cats’ tails. Now, moving to books.
ICYMI
In case you missed it, my novellas are now available in paperback with an exclusive bonus chapter under the title Loathe to Love You. And my young adult debut set in the world of chess, Check & Mate, will be out this November. Below is the beautiful cover Lilith illustrated for it! 😍
