Oh! Well that’s too bad but good to know, thank you! I do my own photography so will be making my own covers πŸ˜‚ I am glad you’re finding things you like in the romance genre! This is my first foray into romantic suspense, and it’s a lot of fun to write 😊

Hello and thank you! I chose the setting after watching a series called Bron | Broen & wanted to do my own playing with a multi-country murder plot πŸ™ƒπŸ˜ I actually have the whole book written, so I am a bit ahead. Coming up on some chapters that need redrafting though! Still plan to keep my schedule.

The Artist's Dilemma: Social Medi...uh? | LissaReedWrites Get more from LissaReedWrites on Patreon

I remain bad at social media, yet have the audacity to whine about it.

Another installment in my (probably self-indulgent) Artist’s Dilemma series, where I muse about some of the roadblocks creatives can face. This week? I think you can guess.

(I have been VERY busy ticking things off my To Do list, watching Smutty Hockey Boys, and trying not to freeze to death, I’m so sorry)

the #HeatedRivalry editors are reminding me how much I LOVED the whole Masterpiece Theatre album by Marianas Trench back in the day. My POTS can’t really take this level of chair dancing (Cross My Heart is SUCH a banger) but here we are. I’ma need whatever is the Dutch version of LifeAlert.

A thing I am leaving firmly behind in 2025 is feeling weirdly ashamed to try and promote my work. Who else is supposed to make people want to read my books? And why am I not meant to be proud of the work I’ve done? Nah, man, I like my creative output and also my phone bill is overdue.

Y’all talk to me about FranΓ§ois Arnaud being hot like I don’t know ball… baby, as a queer romance author, I have BEEN knowing ball. He’s my favorite of all the book boyfriends I write. #WriterSky #QueerRomance

Tonight’s chapter of Goodnight&Go will be up in an hour - I did a brief little reading from it! #BookSky #LGBTQAuthors

Writing is honestly so great. I just opened Scrivener and at the bottom of the draft is a note I made last night: "there's a severed head involved." How is the severed head involved? Well we're going to find out, aren't we? We're going to put some coffee and the record player on and find out.

Also y’all think you’re being some kind of literary Robin Hood with your book piracy but you’re just a common thief, kiddies. The only one who benefits when you steal our books is you. You’re not sticking it to any man.

Merry Christmas! If you’re pirating ebooks with the excuse that β€œbooks should be accessible & free to all” then that is a GREAT way for you to ensure you’re going to end up with a world of AI slop books as authors stop writing because we can’t afford to write if our work is just going to get stolen.

I have a problematic housemate who spends most of his day stomping around our shared house screaming and kicking things. I think I’m going to start rewatching the raciest Heated Rivalry scenes out in the living room without headphones.

Ahh πŸ’– Thank you! I’ll be sure to check them out (I might have to finally pull the trigger on KU, I’ve been trying to make myself get through my TBR πŸ˜‚)
