Looking for later in life queer romance? My box set Kickstarter starring queer septuagenarians launches in just over a month! Follow the pre-launch page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/boo... #QueerBooks

Romantasy is allowed to be dark, complex, and messy. But it doesn’t get a free pass. When a love interest ignores boundaries, removes agency, or frames control as desire, that’s not just a trope—it’s a craft issue editors need to flag. Stay tuned to learn more from @brennabaileybooks.bsky.social!

I have two chapters left to write in my safari story, and then I will FINALLY have a completed draft! #QueerWriters

I think moths and slugs and snails are cute. 🐌

There’s nothing like the feeling of crawling into bed for a cozy night of reading after three days of a fabulous conference. 😊 #wwc2025 #writingconference

Recording this was a blast! 💛✨

Just spent two hours working on my safari story. I need to write the ending, but I’m going back through to clarify a few things because I don’t feel like I know my characters enough yet. Writing this draft has been a different process than with any of my previous books! #QueerWriters

Canadian friends! Slow Burn Books has drafted language you can use to oppose the new proposed tariffs, which will negatively impact the book-selling and publishing industry. It takes three minutes to fill out the form! slowburnbooks.ca/april-2-tariff

I got to snuggle with my fur-niece yesterday. 💛

💛💛💛

Just ordered sample art prints and stickers for my sapphic romance Kickstarter! Launching soon. ✨ www.kickstarter.com/projects/boo...

Just finished and loved A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall! 💛

Sometimes I DNF books out of respect. I want to read them when I can give them my full attention and appreciation.

I love libraries. We're on vacation and my spouse needed Wi-Fi for a meeting, so we went to the local library and managed to get in to their little meeting pod. The librarian even noticed we had the light off and brought a sign over to tell us how to turn it on without interrupting. 💛

I just saw The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin described as romantasy and I want to scream. The Fifth Season is a brilliant fantasy novel and it is NOT A ROMANCE. Not every fantasy book by a woman is romantasy! Stop adding "rom" onto every fantasy novel that happens to be written by a woman! #booksky

My proof copies of ATWN arrived today 🥹

I’ve got an open editing spot in March! Book with me now before it’s gone! www.bookmarteneditorial.com/editing-appl...

Instead of fighting the cold, I’m embracing the coziness.
