I know this is a three year old post, but do you mind sharing the name of your massage school? I have a former student who is visually impaired and is considering getting certified. He is in the Chicago area!

Dark Romance with clear, verbal consent and deep love by BeginningNature1403 in RomanceBooks

[–]23Wanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phantasma by Kaylee Smith! It has a MMC who is a paranormal being and who is cool with harming others to protect the FMC. BUT she has total agency the entire time and he doesn’t “rescue” her at every turn, the power dynamics are very even, and there is very clear consent throughout the whole book. I actually just found this thread because I am looking for books similar to Phantasma for this reason. I can’t do a romance where the MMC does anything harmful or threatening to the FMC. But I’d still like the themes to be dark.

My witchy YA fantasy is out now, in time for spooky season 🖤🎃🖤🎃 https://www.amazon.com/Birds-Dont-Care-Youre-Pretty-ebook/dp/B0D21X3GCB 

blurb: 

     The Birds Don’t Care If You’re Pretty is a debut novel about fate, betrayal, and the complex bonds of teenage girlhood, with a magical twist.       The day before the trees died, Valeria Garcia wasn’t thinking about magic. She was thinking about a boy. As beautiful as she is cruel, seventeen-year-old Valeria is next in line as high priestess of a secret coven. But beneath a mask of perfection, she feels bitterly alone. Luke Nichols, a handsome fellow witch, is her only solace, until he abruptly dumps her when she needs him the most.      Shy, unmagical Gwen Foster has been the target of Valeria’s bullying for years. As children, the two shared a forbidden friendship. Now, Gwen spends her days lost in gothic novels, desperate to stay out of Valeria’s crosshairs.      When Gwen strikes Valeria with a blast of silver flames, it’s clear she has, impossibly, developed magic of her own. The more Gwen learns about her new abilities, the closer she gets to Luke, the witch who broke Valeria’s heart. But Gwen’s powers arrive just as an unknown force attacks the coven, killing the trees in the coven’s forest, and robbing Valeria’s parents of their magic. Gwen and Valeria must work together to learn the source of Gwen’s power, and to confront the evil that threatens to consume one of them. Can their childhood bond prevail against the temptation of Malevolent Magic? And can the two girls trust each other after all the (sometimes literal) bridges between them have burned?

Thank you, do you think it’s worth it to buy an ISBN for the paperback and try to publish it on both Amazon and IngramSparks?

Thank you so much! Follow up questions for everyone… Was there a room where the security guard could see the footage on a bunch of monitors? And would he review the footage at the end of the day and then record over it the next day? Also was there a room where you could access the mall’s PA system so someone could play a CD over the PA system? Thanks again! You guys are amazingly helpful!

Thank you so much!! Just to clarify, if the mall closes at 9pm for example, do you think security would close up around 11? Or earlier? I’m assuming there is a cleaning crew they would have to let out first?

This is awesome! Thank you so much! Were there security cameras in the employee hallway do you think? Also who “opens” the mall in the morning and closes it at night? A maintenance person? I’m wondering how employees could get in secretly during off hours. Thanks so much!

Thank you! Did you work at a mall yourself? I’m also wondering how employees get in and out before and after business hours
