What’s New Pussycat?

No, Seriously.

Okay, okay, we jest. This is not new.¹ We have not listened to John Mulaney’s newest comedic routines. Perhaps we should fix that?

In any case, that isn’t what this newsletter is about. We are far too self-centered for that.

You may have noticed² that we’ve been gone for a while. This is because we had the equivalent of a four-alarm fire happen with our finances. You see, one of the unpaid interns became especially unpaid for a little while. This was bad, due to the fact that the other intern has been especially unpaid for a long time, so now both were especially unpaid. Seeing as how they have two children³ , it really was not ideal. You can’t be especially unpaid in this economy.

So both of us have been scrambling to get through this difficult period, and good news! It’s almost over. In fact, it’s pretty much finished, we’re just waiting to hear back to make sure the background check for the day job came back fine.⁴ We have the essentials covered, plus a little, and that is an unspeakable relief. You think sex is good? Try this. It’s a goddamn rush.

Unfortunately, one of the character flaws of the unpaid intern who is most in charge of this operation is that she tends to hole up and hide, socially speaking, until the disaster is over. It’s very hard to get her to stop turtling. Unfortunate.

So, please accept our deepest apologies for our absence. We know you were all profoundly affected, and we promise it won’t happen again… for at least two weeks. That’s a lot of time, right?

We’re killing this.

¹ You might even say… it’s not unusual.

² More likely you didn’t, and we respect that.

³ One of whom is (shudder) a teenager.

⁴ Never do know with background checks. What with all the crimes we commit on a regular basis.

What Else?

There is genuinely not much else going on. The interns have been reading books again, so here are some recommendations:

If you even slightly like tropey trashy romance, you’ll like this one. It has some structural issues,⁵ but it knows what it’s trying to be and commits to the bit wholeheartedly. Solid 4/5.

*Goes rabid*

Seriously though 5/5, as long as you don’t mind cliffhangers.

Both books are up there in spice level, so if you prefer your romances more clean, don’t pick these up.

⁵ Boy howdy does the pacing fall apart. We aren’t fantastic at story structure stuff so we can’t pinpoint the exact part, but you’ll see what we mean if you read the book.

Have a Good One!

Or two. Or fourteen. Or however many we wait until we publish next.
