Review: That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf by Kimberly Lemming
Buy That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf
OFFICIAL AUTHOR BIO: Kimberly Lemming is on an eternal quest to avoid her calling as a main character. She can be found giving the slip to that new werewolf that just blew into town and refusing to make eye contact with a prince of a far-off land. Dodging aliens looking for Earth booty can really take up a girl's time.
But when she’s not running from fate, she can be found writing diverse fantasy romance. Or just shoveling chocolate in her maw until she passes out on the couch.

GUEST POST: Writing the Villainess by Elyse Thompson
I was about half way through writing what I thought would be the second (now sixth) book in my series when inspiration struck. What if the innocent victims from Poisoned Empire were, in fact, party to the coup attempt? That would make them villains, wouldn’t it? Chasing the next shiny thing (something I’m often guilty of as a writer) the female lead for Conspirators’ Kingdom, Taisiya, began taking shape in my head.
