4--What’s something you learned while writing this book?
Human bodies rot quickly but you can preserve them with natron, a mineral salt.

Cold brew. I have it in my icebox at all times and it’s my drink of choice at a drive thru as well.
6--Describe your writing space/office!
Right now, it’s currently a mess of boxes full of stickers and bookmarks…and cat toys. Because my cats are spoiled.

Ice Planet Barbarians, for obvious reasons.
9--Tell us about when you got “the call.” (when you found out your book was going to be published)/Or, for indie authors, when you decided to self-publish.
We had submitted a new project to my Berkley editor, but I was worried it’d be too weird. She called my agent and said she LOVED it and I felt very seen in that moment.
10--What’s your favorite genre to read?
Monster romance! Though I am currently going through an Ancient Rome fiction phase.
11--What’s your favorite movie?
I tend to give the same answer a lot, but I’ll just say that Cloverfield (yes, the one with the big, oversized monster that eats Manhattan) is one I could watch a hundred times and not get bored. My husband disagrees.
12--What is your favorite season?
Fall! Because of pumpkin spice and the fact that summer is gone.
13--How do you like to celebrate your birthday?
I cry into my cold brew and pluck the gray hairs from my eyebrows.
14--What’s a recent tv show/movie/book/podcast you highly recommend?
I’ve been recommending The Great (Hulu) to everyone because the writing is so clever!
15--What’s your favorite type of cuisine?
Tex mex! I could literally eat it every day, three times a day.
16--What do you do when you have free time?
I enjoy farming video games (Stardew Valley, Coral Island) and making poor reality TV choices (I might be the only one out there that watched Pressure Cooker on Netflix.)
Royal Artifactual Guild
In a world of magical artifacts and fantastical beings, a woman determined to save her family joins forces with an unlikely partner, in this steamy romantasy by USA Today bestselling author Ruby Dixon.
As a Holder’s daughter, Aspeth Honori knows the importance of magical artifacts . . . which is why it’s a disaster that her father has gambled all theirs away. Now that her family is in danger of losing their hold—and their heads—if anyone finds out the truth, Aspeth decides to do something about it. She’ll join the Royal Artifactual Guild and the adventurers who explore ancient underground ruins to retrieve the coveted arcane items.
It’s a great plan—with one big problem. The guild won’t let her train because she’s a woman. Aspeth needs a chaperone of some kind. The best way to get around this problem? Marry someone who will let her become an apprentice. Who better than a surly guild member who requires a favor of his own? He’s a minotaur (it’s fine) who is her teacher (also fine) . . . and he’s about to go into rut (which is where it gets tricky). He also has no idea she’s a noble (oops), and he’ll want nothing to do with her if he discovers her real identity.
Now Aspeth just has to pass the guild tests, thwart a fortune hunter, and save her hold—oh, and survive a rut with her monstrous, horned husband, whom she might be falling in love with.
It’s time to dig deep. Literally.
