this book. Aro besties who are also pro pilots? No problem. Ace single moms? Have it.
This book was self-published
because it had ZERO chance to make it out in the cruel publishing world. It rubs
people in all the wrong spots:
– it tells you marriage isn’t
sacred
– it puts POC people in power AND
as respected professionals in their field
– it has a mixed Middle Eastern and
Slavic descent MC
– glorifies friendship over love
(particularly possessive love)
– strong women. strong women
everywhere
– Whut even are gender norms?
– No gender assumptions, tell your
PRONOUN with your NAME
– self care
– no bullshitting about mental illness
– survivor trope without focusing on the trauma
– the military doesn’t give a shit
about your gender as long as you kick ass
– I’m sorry, did I say ethnically diverse OC cast??
Help out by spreading the word, or
better yet: read and REVIEW.
Amazon will bury this book unless you help it. It needs urgent reviews or it will DIE in the trenches.

Ace single mom you say?
Hello! ^^
Meet Sergeant Natalie Barrero.
Former Junior Sergeant for the Iron Squad of the elite Special Forces team S-400. During the series, she is a Sergeant in charge of guarding the Central Military Corps near the Republic’s capital. (Obviously there is a commanding officer somewhere there in charge but who cares, Natalie rocks.)
Her son’s name is Brendan. He is 3 at the time she meets with the Blackthorns again.
Natalie is dedicated to my ace/aro grandmother, who has always wanted children, a peaceful life, security in her own home, and the chance to have a career. Through Natalie, I try to tell the story of the life she could have had if the world was a better place. One day, I will write the most mundane “a day in her life” sort of thing, just for her.
