I’ve been hard at work on Book 2 this weekend—eek, I can’t wait to tell you all about it! Let me cook a couple more weeks and in June you might get a whole cover reveal, blurb, AND preorder.

What I WILL share is the ridiculous things I looked up while revising today and yesterday...all while playing ADHD focus music and “Everybody Wants to the Rule the World” by Tears for Fears on loop. 🙃

*No Geoff with a Gs were harmed in the making of this chapter.

Finally, finally, finally, www.JaxMcQueen.com is LIVE! The link has been on the back of the Say Yes paperback since it was in March, but IT IS HERE, and it looks pretty freaking good if I may toot my own horn. 📯

In addition to information about my books and events, I also have a shop where you can buy signed paperbacks and book boxes (more about those later today) directly from me. As the Bad Decisions Dress world grows, so will the shop!

I’d love it if you took a look! Links in bio. 😃

Welcome to Messy Monday, where I catch you up on my goings-on and we get some reader-submitted answers to our question of the moment!

This week’s question: What’s something bold or fun everyone should try at least once?

Do you have something to add? Comment below and you might end up in next week’s video. Rather remain anonymous? Shoot me a DM.

Let’s say yes to the mess, y’all! 💃🏾

A weekend for the books…literally!

Saturday, I sold out of books at the Black Authors Book Fair organized by @authorsfortheculture and met so many lovely people! Can we talk about how the ladies in the matching shirts are part of a book club that has been reading together for 25 years??? GOALS.

Sunday, I headed to the Got to Be NC Festival to #shoplocal with @kcfoodlife_raleigh, and between us, we left with 8 bottles of wine and a jar of mango moscato wine jelly among plenty of other things. 😬

I was OUTSIDE this weekend, and it’s a sign of things to come for the summer. 😎

PS - In this photo dump, there’s a huge easter egg (or two 👀) for Book Two. I wonder if you can spot it…

Looking for a bookish event in the Triangle this weekend? Come see me and a host of other Black authors at the Black Authors Book Fair tomorrow at Western Blvd Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, 12-4pm!

In addition to all the good reads, there’ll be food trucks, vendors, games, raffles, and more. It’s going to be a blast!
