Still not convinced? Well, check out our endorsement reviewers’ thoughts below:

“The Crafting Con is a delightfully second-chance YA romance and love letter to all things fandom and cosplay! I adored this book from the very first chapter, and found myself connecting with Ava and her stubborn determination to fight for the people in her life that mattered to her and were still there. I loved this!”
~ Kat Kinney, author of “Light My Pyre”

“Where do I even begin? The way I love this book… love isn’t even the right word. The characters grabbed me, heart and soul, from the start. From the first page I was utterly invested, staying up late to finish– and I could already read it again! I absolutely need this book on my shelf! E.P. Stavs has a natural talent when it comes to writing; her voice, and that of her characters, soars. The Crafting Con is a geeky gem, and I can’t wait for people to fall for the characters the way I have!”
~ Shelby Elizabeth, author of “Don’t Hate the Player”

Perhaps that will convince you? 😉

⭐💫 All The Stars ⭐💫

SHOOTING STARS IS FINALLY HERE!! After many long years, Micheline Ryckman’s conclusion to her Nine Realms has made it to completion! 🥹

With cover character art by Ireen Chau, and background art by Megan McCullough, we CANNOT STOP staring! And look at Talia and Jarrett! Don’t they look so unbelievably cute?! And a show-stopping cover isn’t all we’ve got for you… The exclusive edition will include:

dust jacket art,
hardcover art (by Micheline Ryckman),
sprayed edges,
interior illustrations (by Micheline Ryckman),
and a bonus chapter!
Not only that, but it will have stunning preorder incentive gifts!

Here’s what this sweet portal fantasy adventure is all about:

A girl thrown between worlds. A prophecy untold. An unexpected romance. A quest for home.

Stargazer and artist Talia Benson never wanted an adventure. The titles of student, dutiful daughter, and crazy cat lady suited her just fine. But when she’s swept into an unknown world where sentient animals exist, monsters roam, and angelic beings sway fate, she’s forced to adjust to adventuring as she embarks on a quest to return to her quiet Canadian life.

Jarrett is the best runner in the Nine Realms. Well, maybe not the best––still, he’s proud of the reputation he’s built for himself. But with only a squirrel for company during his extensive travels, his social skills have grown rusty. At least, that’s what he tells himself when he impulsively delays an important mission to help a strange, vibrant girl find her way home.

Unbeknownst to most, turmoil brews in the otherworldly Nine Realms. The guardians have seen a shift in the heavens. Something has changed, a prophecy unleashed. A darkness is coming, throwing Talia, the runner she’s failing to suppress her feelings for, and their growing band of fantastical friends into the center of an oncoming war.

And not JUST for Shooting Stars! For the first time, we’re also including the first book in series, Charting Stars, in the fun!

If you want to get a set and also have the exclusive edition of Charting Stars, you better hurry! There are only THIRTY (30) available! (And they’re selling quick!) Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
