THE OFFICE X GOOD OMENS A satire of both business and the supernatural, Virgil Mora, Hell's Consultant, must restore Heaven's faith in Hell by saving a vampire-run Ohio gas station in just three months to save his job and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for. #PosterPit #A #F #W #LGBT

Not a hero, but more of a role model of a group. Emerson embraces his role as captain of the team and enjoys some of the facets of leadership, but not all of them.

In WHERE WE LAND, the sequel to AT YOUR PACE, Emerson and Valeria take on senior year of college. He's looking for baseball coaching jobs. She's applying to Ph.D. programs. Will they find a way to reach their dreams together, or will their paths diverge upon graduation? #PosterPit #W #NA #R

When his best friend gives him an ultimatum, college athlete Emerson has one shot to prove he’s ready for love. For Emerson, wanting something is the easy part. Keeping it is where everything could fall apart. Looking for ARC readers now!: forms.gle/yYaYzWQbwxiH... #PosterPit #NA #R

“I would expect nothing less from you,” Hector says, his lip upturned, but not quite in a full-on smirk. Now I know where she got it from. — I don’t know if I have a favorite scene, yet! Maybe the dreaminess of the summer lake day scene at the beginning.

I would say the LI feels the doubt more than the MC. The MC screws up but realizes it immediately and doesn't want to throw it away. In the days between the screw-up and when the MC apologizes, the LI has doubts that their budding romance will materialize into a real relationship.

Heads up this is tomorrow. Don't be like me learning about these things day-of and cobbling something together!

A day late. There is no real physical danger in my sports romance. The emotional and psychological danger is more about potentially damaging relationships and a hit to one's ego if he faces rejection.

Jackie Robinson day at Yankee Stadium with my husband and his cousin and a bucket of chicken tenders and fries, rooting for the Angels, getting b roll for baseball novel marketing videos. We’re losing but it’s always an honor to see a Judge homer. #yankees #baseball

I worked on my first page for the contest! This is the motivation I need to finish my first draft because I am itching to get into editing mode seeing what a second pass of work did to my first page. Not perfect but more engaging and snappier for sure. #amwriting

Just finished Roll Play by @paisley-rose.bsky.social which was just as delightful as the first in the series, and I am currently reading and ARC of Talismans of Sin by @5feetofredfury.bsky.social which is a ton of fun!

Can’t wait to polish off my opening pages of my WIP for this contest for writers of Romance and Women's Fiction — tinyurl.com/wdwcon9 — Judged by Agent Rachel Beck of Liza Dawson Associates, via @writingdaywksp.bsky.social I would love an agent critique!

Emerson eats on the lighter side before baseball practice in the afternoons - usually a protein loaded salad.

“Straight guys can have issues around intimacy, too. Let’s unpack that.”

Yes. The antagonist is upstanding in her community. It’s just that those values don’t align with the MC’s.

In addition to my prior productivity I walked for an hour and voice dictated 835 words, plus read like 100 pages, and my husband’s discord friend expressed interest in my ARC! A win for the day #amwriting

Emerson is a neat and orderly dude and we hear about his grooming - clean shaven, and even a feet scrub routine before he does barefoot Pilates with the love interest

- Got almost all set up on KDP, Amazon approved my ebook available for pre order now! - Need to tackle book wrap tomorrow and do print setup - Made 3 fun book promo reels that don't require a collab post, so I can schedule ahead - having my BIL over for homemade pizza for his birthday 🍕 #amwriting

Emerson's best friend has decided it's time for him to stop being single, and challenges him to ask out the pretty girl in his group project:

Physical intimacy being offered so freely and quickly.

okay maybe writing a breakup scene in public was not the move because I'm tearing up lol #amwriting

Junior year of college should be perfect for baseball star Emerson. The only thing missing? Any kind of love life. But if he can’t break free from the expectations that have shaped him, he might lose the only person who’s worth making space for. ARC copies available now! #ProfilePit #TBP #NA #R

Goals today: - Finish clipping up the interview with @gunsmile.bsky.social - Draft interview questions for @marbach.bsky.social - Go to the library, maybe get a decent first draft polished of the end of my book, 2 or 3 chapters? They're all brain-dump drafted - Put away laundry - Swim - Read

Cute lil date snippet

I don’t know about a favorite but Emerson’s favorite color is dark green like the forest. He gets gifted a little tree to brighten up his stark dorm room and likes it!

I guess the first unexpected encounter is that the MMC and the LI donate blood together and she faints after, “literally swooning” into his arms.

I got a big project done for work that my manager was really excited about, and just in time for my annual review on Monday :) going to be a good Friday and I can focus on writing stuff this weekend after a few day break!

The house painting is done! Still a few weeks before we can drill into the walls so it looks a little bare, and the house still a little messy as a result, but I’m relieved it is done and I gave myself a pass on writing while my life was all chaotic. Excited to get back to it this weekend.

In addition to Ange being just a delightful person and writing community member here, this book is a certified banger so you should definitely check it out!

I went on Facebook for the first time in forever to post about my book and get ARCs from personal friends and in the memories it showed me a concert photo from 17 years ago 💀

My husband got accepted into a local art book fair! It takes place in the town my MMC is from, so while my romance is not an art book I think they might appreciate the vibes. New goal is to get the sequel out before it next year so I can submit and hopefully share a table with my husband :)

Emerson brings his bestie and wingwoman Iris, a general sense of “I’ll figure it out as I go,” and advice from people on Reddit and a made-up website that’s supposed to be Men’s Health.

The Devouring by @gunsmile.bsky.social comes out in two days! To help you get hyped, check out our interview about the book's inspo, writing process, and the weirdest thing A.M. Shilling had to google to write a cosmic horror novel with villain protagonists: youtu.be/KRgQ1FlfVho

Not really - there is foreshadowing in book 1 about the main antagonist in book 2, but it’s a romance so no hardcore villain.

Contemporary world but the MC eats very healthy so instead of serving himself dessert on a plate, he will take a bite from the LI’s to sample it. When introducing her to his parents, he notes if he did that his mom would call out it would be bad table manners.

Had a great weekend with friends in town, and this week we're getting our house painted, so I am going to be nice to myself and not stress if I get no writing done and focus on catching up on my reading goal (400 page behind). Goal is get a first draft done by the time my bestie and alpha reader...

My characters are in college and eating dinner together is part of their routine and how they socialize, plus snacks during football on Sundays. It brings people together, very community oriented

Lent is over so I’m back to being able to use the kindle app and you KNOW I’ve been waiting on this one and 7% in it made me snort aloud at the gym @paisley-rose.bsky.social I would be able to get such a long workout in reading this if the gym didn’t close early for Easter lol

The antagonist mom character in book 1 is sort of a light antagonist and she is redeemable thanks to the power of boundaries

Happy #Caturday

I make myself laugh a lot and I love stories with humor. I think mine has some good comedic moments and reader have said they found lines funny!

On the first day of the semester, Emerson is grouped up with a girl for a project, admits to his bestie he thinks she’s pretty, bestie knows her from living in the dorms and challenges him to ask her out by the end of the group project.

Someone is READING MY BOOK my heart is so full. Wow, those are words I wrote... on someone's ereader... not just my iPad for a test... 🥹

Writing the resolution scenes of my novel has been SUCH a joy. It's end of senior year and our MMC is happy because the couple has hit a new milestone. He's relaxed and carefree. (Context: none of them are supposed to drink because they have a game the following day, but it's a special occasion).

Emerson is a 20 year old college junior who plays baseball for his school team. He’s content with his life - he has great friends and a good if sometimes a distant relationship with his family - but he realizes he’s missing out on having a partner. His bestie gives him the nudge to take action.

I voice dictated 680 words of a rough draft of my epilogue while on a morning walk! I want to try drafting an entire manuscript this way after I outline one - could do it feasibly in a few months if I did a shorter word count. And it’s something I’m already doing with my time. #amwriting

I write in the contemporary world. My MMC has some intense healthy eating tendencies as an athlete. The FMC is Puerto Rican and cooks pernil and pigeon peas in one scene and references other bori foods at times!

Today is my fourth wedding anniversary :) we had a great meal at a nice Spanish place, now time to go clean our place before out of town visitors arrive

At Your Pace (out July 8) and its sequel Where We Land (WIP) take place at the fictional Hudson Valley State University, set in the capital region of the Hudson Valley in New York.

I am Hope and I write contemporary romance. The greatest adventure of my life was moving from California to New York a few years ago!
