š· And the Cover Goes To... (Announcing the Maid for Thanksgiving Winner)
After weeks of simmering anticipation and six deliciously different covers to choose from, the votes are in.
The official cover for Maid for Thanksgiving cover will be...
āWine Service.ā
Sheās elegant, deferent, and just a little bit slutty. Our Nikki, standing alone in a luxurious, candlelit Thanksgiving living room, her pink-and-black maid uniform short enough to make her feel the chill. Head bowed. Silver tray in hand. Two glasses of wine waiting patiently to be served. I think she knew she'd win.

A few of you left comments too:
āI canāt wait to read it!ā
āGuess Iām the only one who likes the drawing looking one.ā
āI liked them all, but the group image seemed the most interesting one.ā
You made me smile. And honestly? I liked them all too.
Whereās the Book? And When?
Iām deep in the final stages of working with an editor for, Maid for Thanksgiving right now. Itās been a process. My first time going through full edits on a finished novella, and wow. Itās humbling. Itās energizing. And yes, itās a little overwhelming. But itās getting close.
š Hereās what to expect next:
- The next Pink Ribbon Dispatch will include a private sneak peek of the story, a different excerpt than what will be available in the Amazon preview.
- Shortly after that, thereāll be a special Dispatch announcing the official release, plus...
- A blog post, and a splashy rollout on all my social media, of course.
If youāre not following me yet, on reddit, twitter, bluesky, fetlife, or via the Dispatch newsletter, nowās the time.
I think weāre under a month away now. But this is still my first time doing the full indie author dance, and if thereās one thing Iāve learned⦠it always takes longer than you think. š«
Still, Maid for Thanksgiving is nearly dressed and ready. I canāt wait to serve her to you.
Your ever-blushing, ever-editing, almost-there erotica author,
Tiffany
