Dear Friends and Readers,
Many of you received cancellation notices on several of my pre orders this morning.
That is not because I am canceling the books, nor is it a cause for worry about the series.
Rather, it is a symptom of the systemic personal and professional abuse I’ve suffered over the past eighteen months. My lawyer is speaking with ‘zon now, as this resulted from a false and libelous claim by someone who is determined to harm me and my writing career.
Clearly, it is no longer possible to stay quiet as this person filed a claim today trying to have my account shut down.
This is the most outrageous behavior yet on the professional side. Many of the struggles I’ve had throughout 2022 and into 2023 are because of malicious bullying and gossip aimed at smearing my name and career in various ways.
It was very much like what the FMCs in the bully books we love suffer—except not, because it was real and I’m an actual human being.
This extended not only to professional slander—denigrating my books, my talent, my skills—but also personal attacks about my weight, my background, and my personality.
Delores isn’t the only one who learned a lesson about having friends who cannot stop themselves from attacking others to make themselves feel better.
The books will be back, and I will take legal action for this unprofessional and illegal behavior. It will not go without a fierce response.
I hope you, your readers, your friends, and everyone else stay safe in this digital world. It can be a dangerous place to put trust in people and I’ve learned that lesson very well.
This will be my appeal to please re-pre order any of my books you received a notice about when they return. I’m losing a large chunk of income due to this situation—income I deserve for the long hours of hard work and money spent to produce my books in covers, marketing, and time.
Do not let a bad actor win in her campaign of terror—make no mistake, that was the intent behind the false accusation.
Have a lovely Mother’s Day weekend—I will, despite this person trying their hardest to bring me down.
Blood and guts,
Cass
Being a teenager is bullshit.
You’d think being an heir in one of most powerful families in predator society would make it easier, but you’d be dead wrong.
From the moment I was old enough, my bloodthirsty parents made sure I understood my job is to smile, nod, and look pretty in public. None of my choices are my own, including my friends, my future, and even my hairstyle. The only sliver of happiness I cling to is my boyfriend, Todd, and attending Apex Academy where I’ll be free of the chains holding me down.
Unfortunately, my life is a cosmic joke and everyone but me is laughing.
The perfect prom night I envisioned ends in disaster and my entire world explodes in the blink of an eye.
I didn’t emerge as a predator and now there’s hell to pay.
My name is Delores Drew and I’ve got news for the friends and family who betrayed me when I turned out different than they expected.
I’m no ordinary bunny.
Apex Academy is where I’m supposed to die.
My ex-BFFs turned on me, my fiancé tried to eat me, and my parents are gleefully waiting for someone to kill me so they can be rid of their dirty little secret.
They think they can break me, but this bunny is tougher than she looks.
Apex is a viper’s nest of social climbers and bullies and I’m going to get back at the people who hurt me if the last thing I do.
Enter five of the hottest professors to walk the planet and two wacky friends who all swear they are on my side—but can I trust them to keep me safe?
Even if I can’t, Delores Drew is finally free and all I have to do is survive the year.
At least, that’s what I thought until the first dead body turns up on campus with a note addressed to me pinned to it.
Either we solve the mystery or I could just become some bunny they used to know.
My second year at Apex is going to be different.
That’s what I’ve been telling myself, but I’m no fool.
The Council can repair the damage to campus from last year, but it won’t change the rot beneath the surface.
Someone is killing students and we don’t know why, much less who.
My gut tells me my mother is paw deep in this nightmare, but is she the one pulling the strings or there a darker force at play?
My gut tells me my mother is paw deep in this nightmare, but is she the one pulling the strings or there a darker force at play?
With my besties and the five professors who have sworn to protect me, I’m coming back to a hive of enemies and dark secrets.
Until we figure out who the murderer lurking in our midst is, I’ll never be safe.
‘Run, rabbit run’ isn’t just a taunt anymore.
It’s the only way I’ll stay alive.
Blurb TBA!
