What a tense and heavy episode of The Buccaneers (ep 6). Now I have to wait to see what they're going to do with the new normal and my insides are twisted irreparably by the roll out. Last week the wedding and now this? Brutal.

Omg how could they leave us a whole week on that ending. 💍 👰 😱🤯😡 #thebuccaneers

And today I was notified that By Their Rules was a top 10 pick by the Claymore Award judges in historical fiction. Pass the champagne 🍾

Today was the regularly scheduled chaotic Tuesday. Then this happened. By Their Rules my historical suspense is a finalist in the 2025 Claymore Awards! Congratulations to all the finalists! Thank you Killer Nashville 🙏 🍾

Writing armor for the final pass phases on Too Cursed to Kiss. Thanks to the fabulous @teetate.bsky.social the manuscript has a gorgeous high polish. I can’t thank Tee enough for her sharp insights and uplifting comments. Need a great editor on your team? Reach out to her! #indieauthors

That cliffhanger on The Buccaneers ep. 2 - OMG how can you do this to me. Don't you know waiting a week is like waiting for the sky to fall? What fantastic tension. #TheBuccaneersS2 #thebuccaneers

I just finished For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn and it's a 5 star for me. What seems like a silly idea based off her long running (600+ episode) tiktok series, has been turning into an absolutely lovely and funny novel that takes place in the afterlife.

Nightshade Hearts officially launches October 2025 with Too Cursed to Kiss! 💋 🍾

I’m thrilled to announce my Street Team is forming. Join me in launching my high stakes paranormal genre-bending Urban Fantasy Romance packed with wicked humor, scorching chemistry, and a heroine who claws her way into her own power one mistake at a time. Link in bio ! 💌

Omg that first episode of The Buccaneers season 2 on @AppleTV was scintillating. But the clothes and jewels were TDF. Commending a spectacular success. Plus Leighton Meester was perfection. And that red dress… 💋

Just had my first author interview (for the Maine Literary Awards). I haven't been a #writer too long, so this is both exciting and surreal. I'm proud but also mortified, if that makes sense. Not so mortified, of course, that I won't promote the crap out of it. www.mainewriters.org/events/2025-...

Here are all of my horror book recommendations from the past few months. Your next favourite horror read may be among this fine bunch. 🩸🧛🍷

Incredibly excited to share the title of my urban fantasy romance book publishing in October 2025. It’s fitting the path to publication has been a roller coaster because this book is a wild ride. Buckle in.

“UNHALLOWED HALLS is exactly what readers expect from dark academia, and for fans of the genre it will be read so fast and furious that they should plan to stay up all night.” @chasingray reviews new work from @liliwilkinson.bsky.social locusmag.com/2025/06...

My gods the cliffhanger on #Motorheads was unacceptable without a Season 2 on the track - there is a Season 2 coming, right? @primevideo.bsky.social ?? Repeat after me - 100% #bingeworthy www.tvinsider.com/wp-content/u...

Omg 😱 I cannot wait! Time for a rewatching of season 1 to get prepared. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thebuccaneers #appletv

It’s lilac season! 💜

Happy Book Birthday to Dani Francis and @delreybooks.bsky.social 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The chemistry between Cross and Wren is great—the lit tension amps at every meeting. It was a great sign that I was forcing myself to s​top reading.

Not me over here cruising along thinking “this is a nice story” then BAM! Now I’m over here cursing Dani Francis out for a Rebecca-Yarros-style cliff hanger. Silver Elite has everything—heat, drama, betrayal, suspense. Read the book. I dare you. Pub 5/6/25 #SilverElite #DaniFrancis #NetGalley

Not usually a cowboy fan but I am here for the Yacey+ Ellie ship and a Ransom Canyon Season 2 renewal is crucial. Hope you are listening Netflix.
