My body is in a café, but my soul is on a pirate ship happily watching my pirates do pirate things 🥰😍 (I'm just writing the witness statements) #authorsky #indie #writingcommunity #fantasyromance #pirateromance #steampunk

The orchid I replanted in moss has actually started to bloom!! I feel so accomplished with my little Mossy mandrake!! 🥹🥹🥹

I can’t believe book 2 in my series comes out in just over 4 weeks! The time has flown by, but I’m so excited to share my snowed-in, second chance romance between a down-on-her-luck couples counselor and the silent cinnamon roll who never stopped loving her. #romancelandia

1am book cover reveal This is the new cover for THE DAY WE ATE GRANDAD, cover design by Sarah Whittaker of whittakerbookdesign.com The fate of the world is in the hands of the worst pansexual vegan with wannabe Lestat vibes you know, and the ensuing family showdown isn't going to be pretty. 😱📚🩸💙

Had a research day at a pirate exhibition at the National Maritime museum 🥰 and took a nostalgic stroll through my university campus 🖤🏛️ #writinginspiration #writingresearch #pirateexhibition #writerlife

Top things about my Jackson J Tales series ⚖️ 🌊 ⚓ 18+ with trigger warnings🖤📚 ⚓ It's a dark #romantasy series about #pirates & #gods finding love in a #steampunk universe ⚓ - 🌶️🌶️ spice level ❤️‍🔥 - "I'd watch universes burn for you" Vs "You are my divine counterpart"

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a little kid ✨

Throwback to 2020 when I was practising calligraphy 🖤🌸✒️ I think I'll restart lessons again as I had found it very therapeutic and fun, it also changed the way I write the letter S ☺️ #calligraphy #writing #motivationalquote #writersofig

🎙️ Excited to announce the date of my author interview on the Eldritch Girl podcast where @cmrosens.com & I will be talking about book 1 in my dark romantasy pirate series ⚖️ On 21st April we discuss world building, dark themes, & why I chose to write sensitive elements in a romance story 🖤

Today nature reminded me that I'm not and will never be a green thumb. I tried repotting my orchid. Tell me why it felt like I was fighting a mandrake?? 😭 After having a full blown argument, I can safely assure she's now in a new pot with fresh moss and omg THE MOSS--

Having binge-watched the entirety of Yellowstone, 1883 and 1923 in the last 3 weeks I am now in the restless state of needing a new show to ween me off cowboys (until the other spinoff shows drop). My next binge is A Discovery of Witches. I'm going in blind, but hopeful 😆

I've recently been gaining new followers so I thought it was time I did a 'meet the author' post 🌸 To my lovely new followers, and to those just stumbling across my content, welcome! 🥰🖤📚 #writingcommunity #indie #authorsky #darkromance #romantasy #blacksky

ICYMI: I have interviews on my podcast and this one is the latest! Full transcript provided. I've scheduled more - look out for @srsevern.bsky.social, @caitlinstarling.com, @wickedjamison.bsky.social, & @jelenawrites.bsky.social, plus Jackson P. Brown debuting with Penguin Books, still to come!

Stunning artwork of my 2 MCs, Kennedy & Viera from Pirate's Vow (book 1 of the Jackson J Tales). This is the first time they meet after a decade apart. A chainsaw couldn't cut the tension & unresolved feelings between them.🍒 on top is they are in a tavern which has banned discord of any kind.

What stage of the writing process am I at? The falling down the Pinterest rabbit hole stage. Mood boards. Here, there, and everywhere.

Another author interview is scheduled! Meet @srsevern.bsky.social again on the podcast 21st April, and check out her Author Spotlight short form interview in the meantime... cmrosens.com/2024/11/27/a... #Romantasy #IndieAuthors #DarkRomance 💙📚🖤

The final season of #CobraKai had me screaming, crying, laughing and cheering as if I was watching a real tournament. My voice went up a whole octave. A WHOLE OCTAVE. What a beautiful ending to a legendary franchise!!! 🔥🔥🔥🥹🥹🥹

There's discord everywhere. It's hard to find a place to bury my head and dissociate from it all, especially when it feels like the world is moving so fast and I feel the pressure to move with it (panic and all).

My latest obsession is Abbott Elementary, love the show so much 😂 would definitely recommend if you enjoy sitcoms 🍿

For two weeks now, my characters have plagued me with visions. I've been failing to convince myself I have everything under control. It's taken me two weeks to remember that I'm a plotter therefore I must start from the bones of my world's history and the characters that started it all. 1/4

The city where it all began... Pirate's Vow, the first book in the Jackson J Tales, follows the lives of two slaves who find love and lose it, then later reunite as strangers to the eye, but the heart always remembers. #darkromance #romantasy #darkromanceauthor #writingcommunity #indie #authorsky

Aiming to write more couples/friendship groups who are polytheists & atheists yet still have huge respect & understanding for each other, because in reality, some souls are afraid to be themselves due to prejudice. I write to remind silent voices and hurting hearts that they deserve acceptance.

I don't like that there's a 'Blue Monday'. How can you put a date on mental health? Having co-workers and managers ask you how you're feeling mentally just because the media says so...what about those in a constant state of depression?

The more I try and convince myself I need a break from writing, the louder my characters become as they squabble for dominance in my head, driving me slowly into excruciating madness. They haven't pushed me to the edge yet, but I fear the hour is fast approaching.

No but....the last episode of #aliceinborderland season 2 had me in a chokehold. I...don't know WHAT to believe.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (@infinitescream.bsky.social please continue) This is the first time I think I've seen my babies in the wild in the UK on a shelf thank you so much for showing me this look who they're next to as well OMG <3

My Roman empire is seeing Kennedy lose his mind in love. 🖤📚 'Pirate's Vengeance' is available on Amazon and KU #spicyreads #BlackSky #booksky #darkromance #romantasy #darkromanceauthor #writingcommunity #indie #authorsky

A lot of people say this one is their favourite of my novels, and it's almost always the people who started with this one first! but it's also the one that gets the least love recently (THE DAY WE ATE GRANDAD was deliberately paused for a while). Please give my Beastly girl a hug (and a repost)🥺

Just finished watching episode 3 season 1 of #AliceInBorderland and just had my heart ripped out of my chest 😭😭😭 and I thought Squid Game was traumatising and heartbreaking

Two slaves fall in love, but are doomed by circumstance. A reunion 10 years later not only reveals they have found freedom, but they now stand on opposing sides of the law. What to do when the person you once loved becomes your enemy? #addtoblacksky #booksky #darkromance #romantasy #authorsky
