I am 7 chapters into @catswrites.bsky.social's new book (After Hours at Dooryard Books) and she has already STABBED ME IN THE HEART an equivalent number of times. Fortunately, she's also made me cackle with laughter too, so I'm not curled up in a ball on the floor. 😁

the highs and lows of social media encapsulated in a single post.

THE GLOWING LIFE OF LEEANN WU is out now! I hope you enjoy my novel about a magical midlife midwife dealing with generational trauma while discovering her true power. Available in print, ebook, and audio. Info and buy links here: rubylangwrites.com/the-glowing-...

Please repost and donate if you can. I'm in desperate need.

Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

I saw the most bonkers conversation on tiktok where people were arguing that Romance doesn’t need an HEA and authors were fighting for their lives in the comments trying to explain what a genre convention is. Again, trying to sell me a mystery with no crime and see what happens.

“There were no political or religious motivations. They were rich people who went there for fun and personal satisfaction. We are talking about people who love guns who perhaps go to shooting ranges or on safari in Africa.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

FOSSIL FEUD coming July 28, 2026 to a bookstore near you!!! Preorder and I will love you for 100 million years 💚🦕💚🦕💚

This book had no right to be as romantic as it was given that both MCs are serial killers who hunt other serial killers. Also, I was not as icked out by the graphic violence, not even the 👁️ stuff and I need to maybe sit with that for a bit.

I am not an influencer, but please help me boost Palestinian-owned Nabiha cafe on U street near 17th in DC. The coffee is AMAZING, staff is super friendly, links to donate to Gazan families are easily accessible for customers who want to help

It took exactly 2 books (one novella and one full length novel to be precise) for me to fall in love with this author's work. It's sexy and emotional and she only has the two out thus far but I was riveted. Her third is out in December and I'm already counting down the days for Athena's story.

READ ME SLOW is officially out in the world! 🥹🖤💜 This story is flirty, filthy, funny, and full of heart. It’s about an author who writes steamy books… and the horror podcaster who’s secretly obsessed with her voice. Of course he's going to help narrate her new book, lol! shorturl.at/XoNpy

I adored this book. Soft and sweet and tender with Karl and his penchant for saying the F word and making physiologically impossible threats and his long standing love for Molly, this was adorable and fairly low angst. There's a part in this book relating to Karl's obit that made me laugh cry.

one month from today I'm moderating a convo with two of my favorite people and writers!!!

It's Gorilla Twins Week! We couldn't be happier to be talking about The Earl Takes All, a book we love so much we gave it a nickname that all of Romancelandia uses now. Whether you're reading it for the first time or the fiftieth, we're so happy to have you.

what's the tiniest microtrope in romance that lights your soul on fire? examples: mine is when a person's expression subtly "softens" while looking at their LI in public I have a friend who loves when 2 characters sit on opposite sides of a wall/closed door and each press their hands to it

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Art is going to be so bad when only privileged wealthy people can afford to make it.

Hayley Williams performed True Believer positioned at the back of the stage with most of her black musicians at the front. I’ll post the lyrics below

i think people who have a hard on for Ai truly cannot understand that some people are just talented in the arts and have worked hard to become better at their craft. saying this to the creator of one of the best shows ever written is insane.

*ringing the Romancelandia bell* If you loved Rhys Winterborne, you MUST get Aydra Richards latest, Felicity Cabot Sells Her Soul. The LENGTHS Ian goes to make Felicity forgive him 🥵

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
