Last day today! (In NZ, tomorrow in US!) #booksky #romantasy #booktok

Kiwi author Steffanie Holmes on paying the bills with romance novels

This from Staffanie Holmes is perfection: Most gothic novels ask “how can I escape the horrors?” But paranormal romance asks, “What if the horrors and I held hands and kissed a little?”

I'm not from America, do not speak Spanish, and have zero interest in American football, but I really enjoyed Bad Bunny's performance! Fab choreography, wonderful showmanship, groovy tunes, and a heartwarming, inclusive message. I'm glad I saw it.

Happy New Year! 2026 is windy, warm and drizzly. Very low key way to start the year!

Very proud to have 3 books out this year (one novel, two novelettes), and two short stories accepted for publication. Planting seeds for 2026! #writingcommunity #booksky #indieauthor

I'm reading 'The Holy Shit Moment' by James Fell which is all about the moment of eureka, when an aha! moment can change your life forever.

Thrilled to have a short story published in Awa Wāhine this month! And they created a collectible postcard based on my story with art by Jessica Hinerangi Thompson Carr!! *swoons* #writing #author #writingcommunity

The frequency with which this is happening is so bleak and depressing. Knowing a book has no AI before beginning it, and paying for it, and spending time on it, shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Just sayin.

Hi, my name is Gavin 👋 I'm an author of cosy mysteries and romantic comedies, publishing under my initials, G. B. Ralph. My writing features: 😅 chaotic yet lovable characters getting themselves into all sorts of trouble, 🕵️‍♂️ an astonishing amount of crime, and 😘 handsome men falling for each other.

From 1953

The dark romance girlies have every man fooled into thinking we all have an abusive stalker fantasy. No, baby. Use that bass in your voice to ask me about my day. 😂

Swords, sorcery, and monsters that creep in the dark. My new romantic fantasy adventure 'Summoning Skies' is out today for the special launch price of 99c! Get it while it's hot :) mybook.to/SummoningSkies

I'm finding it rather difficult to write a scene set in the scorching desert when it's been pissing down for the last four days

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

articles like these about the failure of creative industries are depressing not only bc artists are losing their careers, but because art/entertainment is a need, and most people probably will settle for mediocre products or turn to influencer content. everyone is poorer for it tinyurl.com/3jm9jd3d

My new monthly blog post just went up! In honour of spooky month, I wrote about scary antagonists, both external and internal, and how they can improve - or thwart! - your writing :) #writing #booksky #author #writingcommunity

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Randomly decided to write a quick-read companion novelette to my upcoming mid-October release 'Summoning Skies'. This one has pirates and monster fae and prophecies 🔮🏴‍☠️ 'Skies of Blood' due out late Oct!

I just joined ProWriting Aid's Novel November challenge! I won Nanowrimo a couple of times before it went loonytunes, so I have high hopes for this one.

Re-listening to "Empower your Inner Psychic" by Theresa Cheung and it's such a lovely book! Reminds me that the world out there may be very chaotic, but the world inside is always very calm. #booktok #spirit 🙏

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

First review for 'Summoning Skies' on Goodreads was five stars 😭and so OF COURSE I made a pretty picture with it. 😍 #booksky #fantasyauthor #books

My latest blog post is up! I talk about how my experience of addiction helped me to write my new heroine, Jana, in my upcoming fantasy adventure novel 'Summoning Skies'. #writer #fantasyauthor #booksky

38 chapters in total. First kiss in chapter 20. Is this a slow burn? #askingforafriend #writing #fantasyromance

I just saw someone on threads call The Chronicles of Narnia “dark romance.” *stares into the distance*

Was super productive today at something that absolutely did not need to be done 💕
