WE NOT YOUR TYPICAL LOVE STORY_by C.R. Averett Word doc. Text on page reads: 
For a while, I thought being aromantic meant being alone and that was that. But it's not so straightforwardβ€”no pun intended.

It’s #AromanticAwarenessWeek and I just so happen to have an aromantic YA romcom out next year! It’s also got an ace MC (actually two), so if you like queerplatonic love stories and cringey puns, you can add it on Goodreads! www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

I'm so excited to announce that my next YA duology, a romantasy called WICKED ENDEAVORS, is coming in Summer 2026!

If So Let Them Burn was about the power of love, then Wicked Endeavors is about the poisonous yet motivating power of hate. Black female rage abounds in this one 😈

Hey you, yes, you, the creative who has been doubting yourself. You owe it to yourself and your muse to be interested in your own ideas. You are always your first audience. Let yourself be delighted by your own flights of fancy.
