QotD: Would you be a mer person? Hola readers! Okay, it's day 1 of Mermay, so how could I not share my fave romance book of all time! WtTHtM by Venessa Vida Kelley is amazing, gut punching, & a wonderfully romantic good time, & a year later, I still can't stop thinking about this book. 🧵/1

Finally got my submission in! Very last-minute but hey, I did it, and you should too if you're a Canadian author and you haven't already 👀

The perfect character art doesn’t exist– oh.

So far the only people who have read Of Bards are beta-readers, my editor, and people I asked for blurbs. Yet my silly brain is making me feel guilty for going back and changing minor stuff as if it would annoy the people who’ve only read an uncorrected version

I think it's awful how people get away with so much 😮‍💨 This one book by an indie author was so weird. The author somehow makes these women obsessed with each other when they keep competing at the local gym. One of them has PTSD episodes during storms and the other helps her through it???

🌈 Introducing our Book 2 feature for May! 🎉 We are so excited to feature this medieval tale of magic, politics and dangerous adventures! Welcome to Young King Arthur & the Round Table Knights by Cara Aisling! 🧵

Paid tiers (Connection Tier and above) get access to the first chapter of my sapphic contemporary romance Conveniently Hers on my Patreon at 2pm Mountain time today! a bi4demi friends to lovers, marriage of convenience romance 🩷 www.patreon.com/cw/authorivy...

5 topics I could give an hour long talk on: 1. The world of The Divines (my books) 2. The process of writing & self-publishing 3. Why gatekeeping doesn't belong in publishing 4. Reproductive justice 5. How systems of oppression are connected & must all be dismantled for true justice & liberation.

QotD: Do you have a favorite tree? Hola readers! Indie April book! Well, I was going to say, my newest current read! Except I read & finished Of Knights within 2 days lol. It's a really short & quick read, so if you want something fast to get through & support a queer romance, then here you go!

"You should make a spice-free version of your book—" And take out the part where they play strip Twister as foreplay? No way, that's art!

Marzanna/Easoren brainrot today my friends (I remembered Phantom of the Opera exists and how foundational Past the Point of No Return apparently was for my visualizations for Render to Silver)

We’re keeping sign ups open until Friday May 1st!!!
