Cover of Alex and Dani Hack Dating. A put together looking white man and a hot mess looking white woman with glasses.

I haven't seen this on blue sky yet, but it's all over my threads feed:

I write "clean" romance: the MCs get clean... Together... In a shower

Makes sense!

That makes sense. I will keep plugging away. ❤️

This is for my book that comes out in May.

Read book 1 now about a nerdy single mom and a dorky single dad. books2read.com/u/mZpyZl
(Kobo+, kindle, and more)

Book 2 is about the MMC's younger sister.

Cover of Ashley and Jake Game Dating: an illustrated a faceless mid size white woman with wavy red hair in a teal dress and a faceless white man with short brown hair, wearing a grey hoodie and blue jeans. Next to it is a picture of my husband with the same hair and complexion, standing in the same pose, and wearing almost the same clothes.

I swear to God, I did not send my cover designer a picture of my husband as inspo when she was searching for stock images for Jake 🤣

Cover of Alex and Dani Hack Dating with trope arrows: single parents in their 30s, Nerds in Love, phone smex, ADHD rep, hot mess x anal retentive

Cover of it's more of less Christmas (one curly haired white woman in red and green and a long straight brown haired white woman dressed all in black in front of a Christmas background) with trope arrows: grumpy sunshine, holiday novella, workplace romance, single mom, forced to work together

Cover of Falcons Kiss (a dark haired white woman in a pink dress in front of a sailing ship) with trope arrows: marriage of convenience, smex on a beach, met at a ball, fae war, HEA, Hot Guys with Wings

Cover of Eagle's Embrace (blond white woman in a blue ball gown in front of a fancy garden) with trope arrows: caught in a compromising position, frisky in a carriage, only one bed, fae war, hea, hot guys with wings.

Looking to read books not just on Amazon? All of mine are in Kobo+ as well as available pretty much all ebook places

Been neglecting blue sky again. Hmm... Someone make me love blue sky as much as I love Instagram and threads. How do I build a better community here?

That's the plan!

Almost once per day in a few sapphic books groups I'm in, I see requests for 4th wing but make it F/F. And usually there's 2-3 book recs and that's it. Seriously tempted to drop all my WIPs and write a f/f dragon rider fantasy romance.... Would you read that?

I'm participating in #FreeTheBooks2025 am anti-censorship protest for #SpicyBooks. All 4 of my books will be free tomorrow, February 17. I am working to get them free on Kindle, but I know for sure they will be free on B&N, Kobo, Smashwords, and more.

I've been stuck in the editing phase of my book for 2 years now... I changed enough in the beginning that it means changing every single chapter after. I think it's harder to edit because I'm trying to fit what I already wrote to what I changed... I may just need to start over from scratch. FML

An conversation with my hubby this morning :
Me: *making eggs*
Him: Fancy.
M: I wanted an expensive breakfast
H: with the cost of eggs millennials will have to switch back to avocado toast to afford a house.
M:we may need to convince the boomers to give up eggs so they can afford retirement.

I want to love blue sky because it's not owned by meta, but I'm having trouble getting into it. Make me love it.

In honor of the Eagles making the super bowl, Eagles Embrace (spicy fae romance) will be free most places. B&N, Kobo, and more..."

With the Eagles in the Superbowl, I've decided to make the Eagles Embrace ebook free all weekend!

Zon is taking their time price matching, and since I'm not in ku I can't run a freebie promo on Kindle. So it's only free everywhere else:

📚B&N
📚Kobo
📚Apple
📚Smashwords
📚Fable
And more!

All this to say, my book Eagles Embrace is free right now pretty much everywhere but kindle. B&N, Kobo, Smashwords, and more books2read.com/u/47R11N

Something you may not know about indie books and Amazon. There is no way to make your book free unless you are in ku, and then you can make it free once every 3 months. This means, for "wide" books it is hard to do short free promo. it's a process to convince Amazon to price match your book to $0

Anyone else feel like this NFL post for the Superbowl looks like an add for an enemies to lovers mm sports romance? Just me?

Text reads, "don't care about the game? Read a free book" And, "In honor of the Eagles making the super bowl, Eagle's Embrace (spicy fae romance) will be free all weekend!"

Can we give people a minute to mourn before we turn everything into a political debate please? Disgusting.

I know it's slowly been getting light earlier... But I can't wait to come home from work and get some time to enjoy some light.
