Guess what? My new book is officially on sale! It's about a young woman named Rissa who has to fight in the Coliseum to earn her freedom. Luckily she is a damn good fighter. It's got a romance subplot, a bit of magic, and an empire teetering on the edge of imploding. You know, the good stuff.

Y'all! Ingram's reporting updated, and I have officially sold more than 100 copies of The Librarian and the Ghost!!!! 100 readers decided to spend a few hours with an introvert, a ghost, and a sassy teenager in a library in an old Victorian mansion on a sinking island off the coast of New England!

It's almost Halloween, but there's still time to order The Librarian and the Ghost by Elaine Allen. It's got books, introverts, a sassy teenager, a mc that likes research more than she likes most people, and a ghost! Read it while waiting for Trick or Treaters.

Look at this spectacular review of The Librarian and the Ghost! It's exactly what I was going for with this book!!

Josie replies "hiiiiiiiiiiiii" Then she attacks your ankles

People have been SO Nice about my book the last couple of days! The Librarian and the Ghost, by Elaine Allen. TWO people have said it was great in the last two days. That MUST mean something, right? 🥺

May I offer you a line from my book, The Librarian and the Ghost? "She was a librarian, which meant she researched, she studied, and she did not do mysterious magic rituals in the playroom at the library." Wanna know what she does next?

💜💜💜

Wanna know something my book The Librarian and the Ghost has? A largely unnecessary conservatory turned reading room. Why? Because I grew up watching the movie Clue, so EVERY fancy mansion must have a conservatory. And when you turn that mansion into a Library, that makes a perfect reading room.

Have I mentioned that I have a book you can buy? If you like these vibes, you might like The Librarian and the Ghost. It's a cozy ghost story about a woman who gets her dream job as a librarian in a haunted Library on a small New England Island.

This is literally all the main characters of my book, The Librarian and the Ghost. Yes. Even the ghost.

Had a thought: The number of people who have bought and read my book only goes up from here. Today, I've sold 26 copies. Even if someone returns 1, I will always have sold at least 26 copies. If I sell 1 tomorrow, from that moment, I've always sold at least 27 copies. It's only uphill from here!

Decided to make some short tonight that involved bringing a stack of like 14 books downstairs, and now my cat is trying desperately to knock this stack over before I can get them put away.

Wanna know something I love about my novella The Librarian and the Ghost? It's got a sassy, but mature teenager inspired by a few of the kids I taught back when I worked as a theater teacher!

Now let's see if I Remember to mention it to any of my guests. lol. #marketinggenius

My cousin sent me this lovely photo to show that she got my book and I will never get over how nervous her dog looks. Don't worry, Frank. It's a cozy ghost story. Not scary. I promise you and your human will feel warm and welcome while reading.

But anyway, if anyone is looking for ace books: The Librarian and the Ghost features a woman who cares far more about books than dating and is really fucking tired of people assuming she can't be happy with a life focused around research and reading rather than relationships. (& there's a ghost)

I was trying to do a photo shoot with my book (now available at all the usual spots. Super cozy ghost story. Low stakes. Library magic. Ace spec rep) with my cats. Problem is Josie was not in the mood for Micaela to be breathing her air. I got this one photo before the slap fight ensued

Ettienne is my most common helper

All she wants to do is nap. All I want to do is show the world how precious she is. Somehow these goals are at odds.

Okay. I want some joy, some pride, some hope, and some more books in my feed right now. So, tell me one of your favorite lines from any book (Yes, your book counts!) Here's one I read last night

Boy cats are such love bugs. And chaos demons. :)

Was going downstairs and then suddenly wasn't as my robe pulled me back...
