Historical Romance is having a moment. It seems to coincide with new seasons of #Bridgerton. The problem? Fans are disappointed by the lack of #diversity. Did you know there are diverse authors carving a path in the genre? Check it out: www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8yyPxWM/

Did you know there were more black people in regency London than dukes? Often times people regard black and brown people cast in historical shows as “unrealistic.” But I consider the erasure unrealistic to true history. www.instagram.com/reel/DRcscIG...

Even though I write romance, I absolutely love a #horror story. So for #spooky week, I am posting my own little mini story called The Monster in the Manuscript. #writersky www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8D8PJeQ/

I’m attending Black Romance Book Fest in May 2026 as an author & fan of all things Black Romance. My next novel, Love Is A Contact Sport, a Black, Queer, 2nd chance, College Reunion, MM romance, out June 2026 on @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social ✍🏾📚💕🌈 #BRBF2026 #Romancelandia #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Our friend @jaleesareads.bsky.social was on the news! #BRBF #Blackbooksky #blacksky www.11alive.com/article/feat...

Is Apple on here? Cause I need them to accept that I do not care my icloud stoage is full. It's none of my business.

Yall I really wrote a whole ass MMC cosplaying as a dusty. 🫠😂😂 #amwriting #romancelandia #writersky #writingcommunity

You know who desperately needs third spaces. Teenagers.

What historical romance trope do you want to see set aside? For me its the Virgin to Sex Vixen pipeline. She has no idea what sex is or how it works and magically finds love and the ability to orgasm in a single scene. Enter: my deep dive into raunchy regency history! #Romancelandia

I just realized I have free will and have made the Kim Possible Theme Song my ringtone. Now I feel called to answer all messages with “What’s the sitch?”

@authormsbev.bsky.social Question from @angeliqueprince.bsky.social on TikTok What inspired you to include sources/citation in your works? www.tiktok.com/@angelique.p...

Great question. I included the sources to validate the history. And used the model of listing cites first brought to Romance by OG writer Susan Johnson who wrote about Indigenous characters.

Save the Date Houston.

Day 5,671 of marking myself safe from a spider that turned out to be my own hair.

It’s the last day of Jenkins July. Many thanks to all who pulled out a fave Jenkins title to reread and to those who picked up their first. Hope you enjoyed it.

If nothing else happens on Gilded Age, I am content because I live to see Bertha Russel put high society women in their place. Her passing those skills to Gladys was something she should have done from the jump. When Gladys called out her sister in law, I was giggling and kicking my feet.

What does a former TV Model with a sewing machine and random fabrics do? Historical costumery 🥹🙂‍↕️. Enjoy the Milkmaid dress I made over the weekend. I’ll link the fabric below. I was able to print the PDF free at my local library. 📚 #sewsky #blacksewsky #blackhistorical

Just got a massage and I smell like coconut oil and contentment ☺️

I've spent too many hours agonizing over how my story will be perceived as unrealistic because I've create a diverse regency backdrop. But research reminds us that black people existed in far greater numbers than the dukes gracing the covers of #historicalromance books. #Writingcommunity

Writing a book? No sweat. Talking about my book? Um… not so easy. So this is me, trying and learning how to talk up my book. Seducing the Artist is a love letter to parentified eldest daughters who dare to want more. #romancelandia #writingcommunity #writersky #historicalromance

I’m tired and overstimulated so here are my unhinged thoughts: I live with all boys and I refer to them as girl as a show of dominance.

Oof… this one really hurts to read as a budding historical romance author. I think there’s so much room to innovate, but big publishers lack the vision. Do you think the genre is on its way out? Why or why not? bookriot.com/unmaking-of-...

Craft update: crocheted this swim cover up that I finally got to show off. I love it when a wearable makes a splash. #crochet #yarn #crafty #crocheter #crochetsky

That feeling when writing a meet cute has you like… #writingcommunity #romancelandia

Writers! How many drafts does it take for you to consider your novel “done”? #writingq #writingcommunity #booksky

Write!! www.writersdigest.com/keep-writing...

I know being a full-time author isn’t all roses and sunshine, but it has to be better than corporate America….

Ope.

Don’t “Thank Black Women” now, baby. We already moved out and took the seasoning with us. As if we forgot they divorced diversity last quarter. Chile… the audacity is BOGO 🤣 We saw the ✨real you✨, and we left the aisle. Stay over there with your dusty clearance values and performative polyester.

A long read but a truly interesting and fascinating one. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/04/06/u...

Completed my first ever hand knit sweater and was so excited I immediately blocked it. Why did no one warn me real wool smells like straight dog when wet?! 😫😫 #knitting #yarn #crafts #knitsky #yarnsky

Mastering psychic distance is like developing the power to wield a narrative zoom lens. Free indirect style is the macro setting on that lens. #writingcommunity #writingtips #writesky

Me as I prepare to submit to Harlequin:

How many drafts does it take to get a polished and satisfying version of your historical romance novel? Me:

As a storyteller, I have to believe that America is at the part of the story we call “the dark night of the soul.” It seems all is lost, but the light of hope is coming to dispel the darkness.

Sometimes you have to change your perspective. Did my indoor plant die? No. It failed to thrive in a fast paced environment.
