Thank you for reading! 🥰

I wonder what my characters will have to say about that. 😎

I should get off the phone more often...the danger for me is to get hyper-focused on something I shouldn't be! ;)

#lesficfri time! The word is excuse. And I'd like to take seize this opportunity to let you know that Hell or High Water, the third Luce Allen Mystery, is now available for pre-order. mybook.to/HOHWLuceAllen3

Happy Book Birthday! 🥰

Are you playing Jae's Sapphic Book Bingo (or simply loving the genre? Here are two (slightly overlapping) lists that will keep you reading. :) books.bookfunnel.com/sapphicmafia... jae-fiction.com/sapphic-mafi... 🌈📚🥰🌹🔥

I might have found a delicate situation for tomorrow in my upcoming book. :)

For this week's #lesficfri, we go back to Luce Allen #1, with the word "tremble." (By the way, #3 is coming next month, so now's a good time to catch up ;) ). You can check out this book/series and all my others at barbarawinkes.com TGIF! 🌈📚

But more importantly, have you all found the auction for Angela Dawe? You can now join the group and bid on a huge number of items, including the one below:

I had a bit of trouble to find something that's not too spoilerish...in my genre, when my MCs tremble, it's often for a not-so-good reason ;) But I did come up with something. See you tomorrow about that.

Where to begin...

Thank you so much! 🥰

Sorry I'm late, but thank you so much for reading! 🥰

Here it is! For this week's #lesficfri (change), here's some Carpenter/Harding for you, and a reminder that you can still join my sapphic Mafia romance Bookfunnel Promo: dashboard.bookfunnel.com/bundles/boar...

Found some! I look forward to sharing those changes tomorrow! 😊

And it's HERE! And so is #lesficfri. The week's word is trouble, though, to avoid major spoilers, I'm giving you "troubled." The Carpenter/Harding is a world where queer women are in positions of power, and the villains are held accountable. mybook.to/IndictmentsC...

4 more days! 🥰🌈📚

More Carpenter/Harding to come soon. Are you all caught up? For #lesficfri (the word is leg), here's a little snippet from the upcoming #18:

Thank you so much! 🥰 (and for everyone who is intrigued, Luce Allen #3 will be out in March, though Carpenter/Harding 18 comes first, one week from today. It's going to be a busy year, and I think there cannot be enough sapphic badass women in it!

No rest for the sapphics! 😉The new Sapphic Book Bingo is here (and so is the new I Heart SapphFic Reading Challenge).
