THE READER VIEWS AWARDS
Another day, another award. Sigh. It's just so tedious how people keep giving The Refusal these things . . . hahaha. Being serious for a second though, this will never stop being a thrill and the Eve Riley household is very excited about possible trips and presentations we might attend.

THE Refusal COVER DECISION
I really feel that this lovely book cover design for The Refusal belongs to all of the people who voted for it on Instagram. This was the clear winner: 30% vs. 70%. I mean I love it, and Mark Thomas @coverness designed it, but the lovely readers and authors voted for it and gave me lots of great comments. 🎉 Being so very indecisive, it made a huge difference to the decision making. (My husband now wants all these voters to come live with us so he can rid himself of my dithe
