Dear Reader,

I’m so excited to share the world of A Reign of Blood with you! For all of the other lovers of romantasy, dark fantasies, romantic horrors, and gothic fairytales, I hope that A Reign of Blood has given you a new realm to escape into. To anyone who has reached out to me, please know that your words have meant the world to me. Writing can feel very solitary, but it’s not meant to be. Stories are meant to be heard just as much as they are to be told, so thank you so much for sharing your reactions with me.

I’ll be celebrating the day with the largest cup of coffee I can find, and later another particularly large beverage, preferably a fun cocktail without any lithe.

And hey, why not, to anyone who uses the tag #AReignofBlood on Instagram or TikTok, I’ll pick one person at random at the end of May to send the opening line of the sequel ;)

Walk well on the ice,

Samantha
