Raising a glass to my medieval/paranormal erotic romance mashup WOLF DUKE which finally earned it out its expenses. Only took 14 months! 😂😭 Real talk: sometimes you do something for fun/try something new and it just doesn't land. And that's FINE. Cleansing the writing palate is always a GOOD idea.

Here in NZ it is the 24th so guess we are all marked safe from Rapture Day.

Your regular reminder that not liking something doesn't make it historically inaccurate. Own your preferences regarding characters/relationships, tropes, heat level, themes etc. Sincerely, Historical Romance Authors.

My historical newsletter this week is about no-fault divorce, which is under attack in 2025, and what that meant in the 19th century. Joannashupe.com/newsletter

Saw a review for one of my books that stated "this book reads like the author wrote with her hands down her pants the whole time" First of all...yikes? Okay, weirdo. Second of all, that sounds kinda chafey, also how one gets RSI.

Dearest all, (yes, authors, this includes you!) Move. Gently stretch your neck, back, arms, hands, HIPS, legs and ankles. Take several gulps of water. Then several more. Put a warm wheatie pack on the sore places. Love, Your Fascia

Do you like the move Anastasia? (Dimitri. Enough said!) What about a road trip romance? What about a “kiss me so I’ll calm down” moment? Only one sleigh? THE GILDED HEIRESS is out now! joannashupe.com/the-gilded-h... #booksky #gildedage #newrelease

Reason 345863487563 why tech updates freak me out: I get random notifications from new 'features' that did not exist previously on the device. When I look it up: a whole bunch of Youtube videos by some fucking tech bro as to why it is ESSENTIAL to life. 🤢🤮

Just saw a comment that the Regency era 'was one of the most sexually repressive in history' and I am begging historical romance readers to pick up a fucking textbook and learn some actual history. Goddamn this insanity is unceasing.

There is an acronym in massage therapy that makes me giggle every time I see it. DOMS. It stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, but in the world of romance it definitely doesn't mean that. 😂😂

Psst...don't tell anyone, but I have an unexpected hole in my editing schedule between now and September 15, and if someone happened to need something edited right now, I could probably do it. #editing 💙📚🌶️

Cannot believe this PSA is still required for HR readers, but... The sex slang words you call 'modern' like cock and cunt are about 700 years old. Fuck is over 500 years old. Pussy is newer, I grant you, only 300 years old. And they've always meant the same thing.

Ugh, I was just subjected to an ig ad about AI powered stuffed toys and there is something truly unholy about a thing that moves and clings and grabs while fixing sightless plastic eyes on you. Hell to the no.

UGH. Book marketing spam is getting worse than ever. Especially the ones who lead in with some AI-summary of your author bio. Kindly fuck off.

Psssst! Writing sex scenes that are hot af and offer a whole range of emotions and show progression of character and/or relationship is a WHOLE ASSED SUPERPOWER. 🔥🔥🔥 Pass it on!

Ooooof, last day of holidays, second semester starts tomorrow. Four all-new papers to turn my brain to mush and tear any sliver of confidence to shreds! 😂🤯 If timetable/workload are similar to last semester, definitely no writing happening. But look out for upcoming sales!

I know I've said this 1000 times, but damn I wish Gmail's block function actually, yanno, BLOCKED. I don't want these spammy book marketers directed to another room, I want the door slammed in their face.

I unsubscribed from a charity because of the relentless emails demanding money, now their campaign has moved to the post. Look, if you bug me, you go on my shit list and we're done.

I have officially finished the first semester of my study and now have three weeks off. My brain is SO fried I don't even know what to do. It's like the feeling of finishing and uploading a new book except more severe.

Dearest romance readers: Love triangle and menage are not interchangeable words. Very, VERY different scenario here. Best wishes, Me.

The catfight between EM and DT would be hilarious except these two fuckwits are actually going to destroy the world.

Do people who write the shittiest reviews (ya know, the ones with the bigotry, misogyny, fatphobia etc etc) realise how much they tell on themselves when they spew their bile?

Yup. The number of people who want to brag about being authors without actually doing any writing really sucks. Fuck AI indeed.

AMEN Only techbros intent on making more money insist it is critical/inevitable. It's not.

Anyone throwing erotic romance authors onto the 'yucky porn' pile in an act of moral superiority is a goddamned fool. You aren't safe because you write 'clean' my dear. Books showing love and care, respect and mutual growth, CHOICE and open communication are all considered threats.

It takes a special kind of moron to buy erotic romance and then complain there are lots of sex scenes. That is literally the point, ma'am. The sex journey is equally important to the relationship journey.

I needed a new printer, and after multiple bad experiences with HP decided to spend the extra 50 bucks and get a Brother printer/scanner/copier on sale. Oh my god. The speed. The ease. The lack of random fuckery. I am shooketh.

Kobo stock standard response to pretty much everything these days in 'a bug in the system'. Since December, it seems it is more bug than system and they should probably call exterminators.
