Moments in motion leaf-fall and star-burn beneath the velvet moon coursing through creative chaos take me away to where the world whirls a kaleidoscope of colours #bewitched by burning desire all-encompassing and endless pretty as poetry fragile as flakes of snow #vss365

I've finally set up a new Facebook author page. Anyone care to save me from my current "zero followers" on there? 😂😇🙏 www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Good Heavens - just noticed that a random fanfic I wrote back in 2020 is approaching 30,000 reads and WHY DO MY ACTUAL NOVELS NOT GET THIS KIND OF ATTENTION 😂😭😅

Finally took the plunge and bought the domain name for my author website - and then spent the last 3 days trying to get it all looking something like professional with my FANTASTIC *cough* web design skills😬 Still... turned out all right, I think? 🤷‍♀️ titaniatempest.com

Finally! The physical proof has arrived - and, yes, I feel like Christmas has come early 😂🎄 SO pleased with how the cover has turned out, considering I have the sum of ZERO graphic design skills (and also, apparently, zero "marketing photo" skills) 😂🤷‍♀️ *BUYITFORTHEWORDS*

Viv already knows Rowan is trouble. That's hardly going to stop her inviting her IN, though... 😂💘 For this week's #lesficfri prompt, #sorry, here's a little excerpt from #AThousandReasons (Now Available on Amazon and KU!) #RowanAndViv

This is my very last snippet for #WIPSnips from this novel - because it's no longer a WIP... It's officially available on Amazon and KU 🤗🌈🥰 So, here's the swansong from #AThousandReasons for today's prompt, #city. (Don't worry, though, I have about ten other WIPs for future prompts 😂)

Feeling a little low today in the wake of putting a new novel out there for the world to hardly notice, so of course I'm coping with it by brainstorming a whole new unrelated cosy sapphic fantasy because apparently my writing addiction is incurable 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

So long this road to nowhere so many hours curving #tor-s praying for a straight run and yet it's all uphill from here every minute every day a delusion of disappointment just a crushed soul poured into the hourglass but no one's noticed and they probably never will #vssmagic

A Thousand Reasons is out at last, and I'm thrilled to finally share Rowan and Viv's story 🥰🌈 (Paperback coming soon!) Get the eBook here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4SNG7VL

A rising-star actress never meant to fall for her iconic co-star - but an irresistible spark shatters their careful professionalism and sends things spiralling. With the world watching and careers on the line, desire becomes impossible to hide… and dangerous to claim. www.amazon.com/dp/B0G4SNG7VL

In other news... Just learned that Dawn & Rosie's novel PAPER DAFFODILS somehow made it onto a TOP FIVE SAPPHIC READS list and MY HEART 🥹😭😱❤️‍🔥🤯 iheartsapphfic.com/2025/01/12/s...

#Excerpt from #AThousandReasons for #lesficfri prompt #chill

#WIPSnips prompt #direction

Just saw a book marketed as "Historical Fiction circa 1989" and excuse me while I go and lie down

I never promised not to #involve you in my seasons spring's sweet pass to #summer and autumn's fall to winter's glass I never promised to go softly crowns are not twined from roses they're carved from thorns and I never promised to stay the same because life is built on change #2WordPrompt

My #goal is not to have goals anymore but simply to live each moment in the pursuit of joy doing the little things I love and wandering life's road whichever way it goes and I freely confess I no longer strive for success I'm just here to admire the view #vss365

and yet again I find myself perturbed face to face with my old nemesis the... 😱bLuRb😱 who knew so few w o r d s would make me question all my sanity and nearly be the end of me

Can we have a moment of silence for all the books that will never be written all the stories half-started half-hearted defeated by the #measure of courage we didn't have for sometimes the road is too long the mountain too high and words are extinguished by wistful sighs #vss365

Nothing like having to retake the Highway Code test (in another language 😭) after already being a fully licensed driver for over twenty years... Expat problems, I guess - but gosh, some rules really baffle me 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, wish me luck?

The question is... Fade to Black... Or one properly intimate moment that closes 28 chapters of slowburn? Help me decide? 😭🙏 *For context, it's an adult sapphic romance*
