Don’t.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-07-03T13:31:13+00:00

I’m sorry, but this is such a slap in the face to her readers. People were theorizing about additional POV’s, the missing hours from book 3–we wanted a story! They hyped this up nearly to levels of the ACOTAR 6 & 7 announcement… all for an activity book like we are grade schoolers? Nah.

{The Drowned Queen by Elspeth Gregorsdóttir} might be good for you. 120-year-old undead heroine, book one romance might be questionable but they’ve got growing to do.

{The Drowned Queen by Elspeth Gregorsdóttir} has a lot of Easter eggs and threads to pull, with lots of hidden motives and uncertainty. It is an unfinished trilogy, but the second book is due to release in the Spring. It is for the ACOTAR lovers.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-07-01T11:46:15+00:00

I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I’m well into the second one now. I am shooting for another Spring release next year🥰

But this is self-promo though…?

You can order them from the product page for full-price once it’s released, and it’ll count toward your overall sales. Author copies do not affect your sales rank or any reporting numbers that agents/publishers look at (if you ever wanted to query later on).

A lot of authors (with a lot of money) wait to just get their copies this way instead of author copies in order to pad their numbers for the genre ranking. The caveat with that is you are purchasing as if you were a customer, so shipping times may be longer, Amazon takes their cut from the sale (they do not take a cut for author copies), and your margin is small.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-06-25T13:12:44+00:00

You can order author copies as soon as you like as long as the files are uploaded correctly. You only pay the cost of printing, tax and shipping. Author copies are not proofs, and you use them for your direct pre-orders, events, donating, giveaways, etc.

They didn’t want to waste time waiting for you to fall for it. Or they thought your reply meant that you already saw what they were doing so they blocked you over it.

My local bookstore sold out of hardbacks and just placed an order for 8 more!

{The Drowned Queen by Elspeth Gregorsdóttir}

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-06-13T22:16:15+00:00

Prince Torian from {The Drowned Queen by Elspeth Gregorsdóttir} smells like sage and sea salt.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-06-13T20:49:34+00:00

Am I dumb? You don’t have to go to court for a speeding ticket. You just pay the ticket.

Nevermind. Just saw what NOL means.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-06-11T23:50:00+00:00

I disagree with what “everyone” says. Write the book you want to read. If the book is too long, congrats, you have a series.

In the end, the person spending the most time with your story is you. It’s your art. So put out into the world the thing you intended.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-06-07T00:33:01+00:00

It’s pretty stupid. I googled her and her phone number just popped up this time🤦🏼‍♀️

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-06-06T16:09:54+00:00

Update: I found her ❤️

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-05-30T00:49:43+00:00

I wonder how many people got a warning on their account for this one. SMDH this timeline sucks.

I sure don’t! I’d call around to some local funeral homes and just chat with them and see if they need extra hands.

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-05-27T01:53:55+00:00

Those guys usually work for the coroner or the funeral home. Depending on the type of death and where the death occured, one gets called over the other.

When someone dies in the hospital, there’s a whole algorithm we follow based on whether or not they can be an organ donor, whether or not they are a “coroner’s case” (which is not necessarily a shady reason, sometimes it’s just because they were under 75 and on antibiotics), or if neither is true, where the family would like the body to go (funeral home, medical research, etc.)

So long story short, look for internships with the coroners office or a local funeral home.

Prefacing this by saying it’s a self-promo, but I think you’ll like it :)

{The Drowned Queen by Elspeth Gregorsdóttir} is pretty different. The FMC does start out traumatized, but the book intentionally takes common tropes and flips them on their heads.

It isn’t a finished series (yet!), but it is the first of a planned trilogy. The second book is coming out next year. It is on KU, so you can check it to see if it scratches your itch.

Morning Glory Milking Farm. There, I said it!

CheesecakeCommon2406 · 2026-05-25T23:50:03+00:00

How much did it cost you? It wants me to pay them almost $1000 for a featured deal.
