Hi Smart Bitches readers! I’m Amy Zed, author of A Symphony of Starlight, a sci-fi romantasy debuting January first. As a new author, I’ve had many star-eye-emoji-worthy moments in the last few months, from getting my first edit letter to holding the first printed copy of my novel in my hands. But even when I was cradling my first author copy, I never imagined I’d get the chance to interview one of my all-time favorite … Continue reading Q&A: Amy Zed and Jennifer Estep
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Wait, What?: I’m not sure what is happening in this cover! She looks like she’s having a…moment…He looks totally annoyed, bro, and they both look like escapees from Saved by the Bell. Sarah: They are from a 1994 JC Penney’s catalog, right?

That romance wins in the end? You know all this. Either you like the Netflix versions of Hallmark Christmas movies or you do not.

RECOMMENDED: Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Del. Elyse gave it a B- in a Lightning Review, saying it was good but not Kleypas-good:
