Y’all most of what’s getting me through the hell that is the world and my life the last few weeks is knowing next year I get to read this.

For today’s #lesficfri theme “sleep,” a short excerpt from THE SECOND DRAFT, my forthcoming sapphic romance about an icy socialite who realizes she’s in love with her free-spirited best friend, catalyzing a journey of late-in-life self-discovery that changes everything. Out in 2026!

Absolutely stunned & thrilled to share that Loser of the Year is a finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Awards in the Lesbian Romance category. A deep, heartfelt thank you to @lambdaliterary.org. I’m grateful beyond the telling of it.

Update: copy claimed yesterday by the fabulous @sagaciousapphic.bsky.social , who (correctly) named Jonathan from TWFTW as their favorite side character of Roslyn’s. Sorry, Cranli!

Hint: the high school is named after one of the patron saints of lost and impossible causes...

To celebrate Day One of GCLS, @writingroslyn.bsky.social & I are doing a little cross-promo in-person giveaway 🥰 The first con attendee to find me and tell me their favorite supporting character in any of Roslyn's books will get a FREE signed copy of the bestselling THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES! 🌊

The July edition of The L Byrd goes out tomorrow morning, featuring an exclusive sneak peek from my next book (!!!!), a fabulous deal on Loser of the Year's audiobook, and information on my whereabouts at GCLS!

"Madeleine’s hand still rested on her arm. How strange, that the touch could anchor Hæra to earth at the same time it made her feel light enough to fly without wings. @writingroslyn.bsky.social @jennabeebs79.bsky.social

Had a blast chatting with @iheartsapphfic.bsky.social about LotY, what’s next for Mattie & Jillian, my writing process, and some sapphic romance authors I think are pretty spectacular! iheartsapphfic.com/2025/06/23/a...

Strange feeling to be in Spain right now with [gestures at everything] [does not elaborate bc I would like to be let back into my country] [this is mostly a joke] [not completely]

The perfect way to kick off June. Happy Pride from Philly! 🌈

We were right here during our Orkney trip two summers ago, when @writingroslyn.bsky.social was maybe 50-75 pages into her first draft! I remember fantasizing out loud about TWFTW being sold there one day. And now it's actually happening. Legitimately a little teary 🥹

This book is truly wonderful. It’s smart, challenging, and beautifully written. Run, don’t walk.

I’m caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of telling you “you should read this right the fuck now” and telling you “if you read this you’re going to tear your hair out from frustration at having to wait for the next 500+ pages”

During my queer romance lecture yesterday one of my students got us all on a side tangent about woman/anthropomorphized door erotica and I just. I just love my job. So much.

Gonna run through a brick wall

IT IS MID APRIL

One of my group chats is currently filled with intentionally horrible covers we've all created for @writingroslyn.bsky.social's new book & honestly I'm still stuck on the tag line "from that lady who brought you a 20-year obsession with Miranda Priestly"

I mean it didn’t NOT do that

What I loved about the Narnia books as a kid: 1) The idea of a secret world in a wardrobe, with: 2) A beautiful & icy woman who tells me how special & clever I am & gives me candy & asks me to come live with her Thanks for that baby lesbian fantasy, C.S. Lewis! Sorry I never cared about Aslan!

My book is for sale at the Leipzig Book Fair in Germany! 🥰

Three years ago today, I said “I do” to the easiest question ever asked. I do, always, @byrdwrites.bsky.social.

“Middle age isn’t some ditch at the dead end of Discovery Road, beloved.” My next book, The Second Draft, is out from @ylva-publishing.bsky.social in 2026! An ice queen, friends-to-lovers sapphic romance with two 50+ late bloomer MCs, TSD is about how it's never too late to become yourself 💛👠✍🏻🌵🔥
