Learn about Missed Fortunes by Tris Lawrence!

A graphic entitled "Pre-order Missed Fortunes by Tris Lawrence." It shows a book cover featuring two people falling while a tower burns in the background, with the author, title, and "Twinned, Book 2" written on the cover. The cover is surrounded by arrows and book features: sapphic relationship; college setting; modern with magic, magic is known; asexual main character; tarot and predictive ability; and twins (one is trans!). At the bottom, text reads "Pre-order through February 28th!"

In the first book of the Twinned trilogy, Commit to the Kick, Tris Lawrence introduced readers to Alaric, a freshman at Pine Hills University. PHU is a small liberal arts college in a world similar to our own, but made very different by the long-hidden existence of people with Talents, and the more recent Emergence of Talented people into the public eye. Missed Fortunes, the middle book of the trilogy, continues where Alaric’s story left off. Carolyn, another student at PHU, has tried to keep her head down and avoid rocking the boat as the world has changed around her. But now, it will be her world that’s changing, and she won’t be able to stay uninvolved…

We’re running a pre-order campaign for this middle book of the trilogy through the end of February. We’re already 40% of the way to our goal, but we’d love your help in getting closer. Even if you opt not to back, signal boosts are always extremely helpful and very appreciated.

Pre-order Missed Fortunes now!

Not familiar with the first book? We got you covered!
A graphic entitled "Commit to the Kick by Tris Lawrence - Trilogy Book 1." In the center of the graphic is a book cover, showing a person in a football uniform flanked by a roaring bear and a roaring dragon. It lists the book title and author and says "Twinned: Book 1." Arrows point at text describing features of the book: shapeshifters and magic users; freshmen in college; m/m relationships; aromantic, gay main character; sports, martial arts, and anger management." Bottom text says "Available Now!"


Blurb:

Don’t hesitate.
Don’t overthink it.
Commit to the kick.

For eighteen years, Alaric has lived under the cloying politics of family and his Clan community. His freshman year is supposed to be a chance to explore a world where Clan and his shapeshifting Talent isn’t central to his life. But when his inner bear bursts forth during his first football game, endangering those around him, Alaric realizes that it’s not so easy to ignore his past, or his own internalized anger.

In his quest for anger management, Alaric begins to train in taekwondo, and makes new friends in both sports. He finds that he is creating his own small community, where Clan, Mages, other Talents, and even humans come together and build their own found family.

When Alaric receives news that something has happened to his brother Orson, he must return and deal with his Clan and his place in their world. He discovers that old prejudices are still strong between Clan and Mage communities, but that both may be in danger from a creature long thought to be only a legend. Alaric must figure out how to move forward and prevent a war and protect both his home and newly built communities, his found family with him every step of the way.

We expect to crowdfund the third book later this year, as we’re in the process of editing it right now. Want to make sure you don’t miss the campaign? You can follow the pre-launch page on Kickstarter now!
