i wrote GO LUCK YOURSELF in a crazed fever dream immediately after finishing the first draft of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE KISSMAS because i wasn’t ready to let go of the characters. and i’m still not—coal and hex and kris and loch and iris take up so much room in my head, it’s a wonder i can get anything else done. 

but kris especially has been difficult to let go of. he’s the character who got my panic disorder and my love of writing, and as such, he is my precious baby child who can do no wrong, and putting him into the world has been infinitely more terrifying than sending coal out into the world. 

coal could handle himself. well, ish. he could handle himself-ish. 

but kris? my god. i am a helicopter mom. is he okay. is everyone being nice to him. did he pack enough snacks.

so here is kris, my sweet lil beefcake with mommy issues who just wants someone to tell him he’s gonna be okay. i know he’ll be in good hands with you 💚

GO LUCK YOURSELF, the sequel to THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE KISSMAS, is OUT NOW from Bramble/@torpublishinggroup! 🍀🇮🇪

It’s enemies to lovers in this sexy and delightful holiday mash up that pairs the spare prince of Christmas with the crown prince of St. Patrick’s Day!

Someone has been stealing Christmas’s joy, and there’s only one clue to the culprit—a single shamrock.

With Coal busy restructuring Christmas—and their dad now having a full midlife crisis in the Caribbean—Kris volunteers to investigate St. Patrick’s Day. His cover: an ambassador from Christmas to foster goodwill. What could go wrong?

Everything, it seems. Because Prince Lochlann Patrick, Crown Prince of St. Patrick’s Day, happens to be the mysterious student that Kris has been in a small war with at Cambridge. They attempt to play nice for the tabloids, but Kris can’t get through one conversation without wanting to smash Loch’s face in—he’s infuriating, stubborn, loud, obstinate, hot—

Wait—hot?

Kris might be in some trouble. Especially when it turns out that the mystery behind Christmas’s stolen magic isn’t as simple as an outright theft. But why would a Holiday that Christmas has never had contact with, one that’s always been the very basis of carefree, want to steal joy? Can a spare prince even hope to unravel all this, or will Kris lose something way more valuable than his Holiday’s resources—like his heart?
