RJ Blain suffers from a Moleskine journal obsession, a pen fixation, and a terrible tendency to pun without warning.

When she isn't playing pretend, she likes to think she's a cartographer and a sumi-e painter. In reality, she herds cats and a husband, and obeys the commands of Tsu Dhi, the great warrior fish.

In her spare time, she daydreams about being a spy. Should that fail, her contingency plan involves tying her best of enemies to spinning wheels and quoting James Bond villains until she is satisfied.

I don't hate the series. I hate when people sabotage my other works because they only want me to write the Mag Rom Com series.

But yes, it's being planned, but it won't be released as a standalone. It will be in a collection/anthology probably. It depends. (But yes... eventually.)

SKP is basically the worst-performing book in the entire series at this point, so it's fairly low on the to-do list. I might give it a new cover, though, and see how that helps.(less)

The librarian series was semi pilot style, testing a different tone and sub genre, so it tends to be a little different from my regular stuff.

If you like the humor elements, go to the magical romantic comedy series. If you like the darker elements, go to the Witch and Wolf books. If you like the mystery elements, skip over to the Fox Witch books!(less)

R.J. Blain, Playing with Fire

“What can I say? He’s a man, and as my queen and bride says, men are stupid. Especially me, for having taught our son to be a man, too, who in turn taught his son. We’re a plague, us men. At least we’re handsome enough to keep around despite being stupid enough to tempt our women to murder us.”
