OfAUTHOR'S NOTE: A Dream So Wicked is OFFICIALLY live! This book was so much fun to write, as it was my first where the villain is the love interest. Of course, if you've read my previous books you can probably predict that Thorne Blackwood isn't the baddest of villains. He's a secret softie who bakes cakes. He just so happens to be on a path of vengeance...until he catches feelings. He is one of my favorite book boyfriends that I've written, so I hope you fall in love with him too! It sure doesn't hurt that he has horns and wings, am I right?
Briony was a wonderful character to explore as well. We first meet her in Kiss of the Selkie, and I loved her from the first moment I wrote her on the page. I knew she'd made a great heroine in her own book, and she surprised even me while writing ADSW, showing a morally gray side I hadn't quite realized was there when writing Selkie. Together, Briony and Thorne go on a journey of enemies to lovers romance, found family, and a dose of sizzling steam. You'll also find Romeo and Juliet vibes here, but with a HEA ending, of course.
A Dream So Wicked is out now and is free to read in Kindle Unlimited! Paperbacks and hardcovers are out now too, although (as of release day June 30 2023) some retailers are still in the process of populating the sales pages. They are on Barnes & Noble for sure, and other retailers like Amazon and Waterstones will soon follow. So if you don't see them now, be sure to check back :) The audiobook will be out in the fall, so stay tuned for that too!
In the meantime, here's a peek at the gorgeous hardcover editions. These are standard, so wherever you get your hardcover copy, it will look like this! [image]
Anyhow, thank you to my lovely readers for your enthusiasm and support for this book. My next Faerwyvae book will be A Rivalry of Hearts, the first in my new-in-2024 adult fantasy romcom series, Fae Flings and Corset Strings. Then later in 2024, I'll release my next Entangled with Fae retelling!
Until we meet again, happy reading! -Tessonja...more

Books are hard to write, always,AUTHOR'S NOTE: A Taste of Poison is officially live! I am absolutely thrilled that this book is now out in the world. Books are hard to write, always, no matter how many new ones I have under my belt. And yet, every once in a while, I get to write a book that puts me in the "flow state" far more often than the "pacing the house struggling to get words on the page" state. This book was one of those "flow state" books, which made it an absolute blast to write. I fell in love with Astrid and Torben and hope you love them too!
A Taste of Poison is a new adult fairytale retelling of Snow White with: -Grumpy + sunshine -Just one bed -Forced proximity -Handcuffed together -Touch her and die -Enemies to lovers -Humor, banter, and kittens
It's now available on kindle ebook (and free in KU), paperback, and hardcover. Audiobook coming in October 2022!
The hardcover is particularly pretty! The standard edition (the one you find on all online book retailers) has character art on the naked hardcover. Want to see? [image]

It's a really fun twist on the classic tale and I loved it! It was super awesome to see the author infuse her Russian heritage into this story and I can't wait to read the next retelling she has in store!...more
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Kiss of the Selkie is now live! I’m so excited for everyone to meet Maisie, a feisty thief and princess-in-hiding, her best friend and AUTHOR'S NOTE: Kiss of the Selkie is now live! I’m so excited for everyone to meet Maisie, a feisty thief and princess-in-hiding, her best friend and voice of reason, Podaxis, and the mysterious shipwrecked man she’s been sent to assassinate—Dorian. Maisie will have to participate in a victorian-era equivalent of The Bachelor to get close to her target. But getting close happens in more ways than one…and soon her heart’s at risk of being won by the man she’s promised to kill.
I had so much fun writing this book and hope my readers love it as much as I do. Maisie was a blast to write about and Podaxis unexpectedly stole my heart too (I love side characters, and he just might be my favorite, right alongside Foxglove and Lorelei from The Fair Isle Trilogy.) Dorian was intensely passionate, and I really enjoyed playing with the dynamic of an immortal, powerful, magical fae female falling for a non-magic human love interest, since most of my previous books have had the opposite dynamic.
Kiss of the Selkie is an upper YA/NA retelling of the Little Mermaid and is available in ebook and Kindle Unlimited on Amazon, as well as hardcover and paperback at most online bookstores. Here's the link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BK9CQN3
Also...check out the hardcover edition with the hidden character art under the dust jacket! I love how it turned out (just FYI this is the standard hardcover found on Amazon/other retailers!)

Ember was orAUTHORS NOTE: Heart of the Raven Prince is now released into the wild! I'm so excited for everyone to fall in love with Ember and Franco! Ember was originally introduced in Curse of the Wolf King as a side character, while Franco gathered some diehard fans in To Wear a Fae Crown (The Fair Isle Trilogy, set twenty years before the Entangled with Fae series). Now these two have their own love stories and I'm so thrilled with how this book turned out. It was very hard to write at times, but the end result was so worth it.
Even though Heart of the Raven Prince is the second book in the Entangled with Fae series, it is a complete standalone story that can be read without reading any of the related books. But if you would like to read all books set in Faerwyvae, be sure to check out The Fair Isle Trilogy and Curse of the Wolf King. Next up, we dive into Maisie's story, whom you briefly get to meet in Heart of the Raven Prince. Her story will be my Little Mermaid retelling!
Thanks so much for reading! I am so grateful and lucky to have such wonderful readers who make all my launches purely magical.
Happy reading! -Tessonja
P.S. Here's a peek at the hardcover edition of HOTRP. It includes character art of Ember and Franco on the naked hardcover! (And yes, all hardcover editions will have this art under the dust jacket no matter where you get them!)

Past updates: Curse of the Wolf King releases today! What a wild and wonderful journey. I had so much fun returning to the land of Faerwyvae to start a brand new book with both new and familiar characters. Bringing Gemma's story to life and expressing my book obsession through her character was quite satisfying. And Elliot just might be my favorite book boyfriend I've written yet.
Thanks to all my amazing readers and book buddies who've supported this book! Next I'll be moving on to the second book in the Entangled with Fae series, which will be a Cinderella retelling that follows Ember's love story. And for all you Franco fans from The Fair Isle Trilogy, a certain feathered vampire prince will be getting his romance at last!
Curse of the Wolf King is free in Kindle Unlimited and is available in paperback and hardcover. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W787FG6 The hardcover features the following under-the-jacket artwork on the "naked book" that readers are loving.
