“A surprising amount of beetles for a romance” is that great or what? Here’s hoping that KJ Charles doesn’t need to engrave that on a gravestone anytime soon!

Indeed! Am now pondering the exact number of beetles is a surprising amount for a romance.

Ask your buddy to do a word search on her manuscript. She could give you the exact number. But it’s even more enticing to think of the metaphorical “surprise!” beetles that conflate expectations and convince us that, yes, the world of this novel is authentically alive with creepy crawlies. Look out! It’s another beetle!
