New year, new Sapphic Book Bingo! This is a great way to find new authors, new books, new tropes, new fictional friends! Here's how my books can help you check off some bingo card squares. Huge thanks as always to @jaeauthor.bsky.social for putting this together. Deets & more books in next post! ➡️

It’s a new year, friends! Don’t forget to update your website’s footer to 2026! 😁

This was a never published manuscript, but my favorite typo of all time is referring to Wolverine as having “Adamantium clams.” 🤣

Do you pick a word of the year? Mine for 2026 is "Growth." Let's do this! ✨

Happy New Year! With the new year, the Sapphic Book Bingo 2026 has started! Our year-long reading challenge is a fun way to find new favorite sapphic books & authors and win prizes. Download a bingo card on my website & start reading: jae-fiction.com/sapphic-book...

2025 is coming to an end, and with it the 2025 Sapphic Book Bingo! I just posted the wrap-up post, sharing some interesting stats, the winners of the Big Giveaway & the top 3 most-read books for each category. Check out the wrap-up post on my blog: jae-fiction.com/sapphic-book...

You’re going to be okay. Someone will hate your book. You’re going to be okay. Someone will not get what you’re trying to do with your art and judge you. You’re going to be okay. You’re going to keep creating, in 2026, because you need it and because the world needs you to. Okay?

Well, since I've been reading my own manuscript forever... I'm a Superhero!! 💥

"Will you spend the night?" She rolled over, slowly opening a drawer on the bedside table. "Let me get something that will make this more enjoyable for both of us." Her fingers grazed a small case, & after a moment, she rolled over again. She smiled, then popped a night guard across her upper teeth.

Join the festive fun this Saturday! ✨

I've been asked about the amount of hockey in my books, so here's a handy guide for the Out on the Ice Series ranked in order of on-page hockey-ness. All 3 take place in the world of women's hockey.
