I can't decide if I think it's more exciting that I already hit my October sales goal for The Lady and The List (only five copies, I don't aim high) or that NONE of those were on Amazon! 📚💙 #queerbooks #queerromance #indieauthor Keep it going here: books2read.com/u/3kdAP6

I still have slots available. Sharing is appreciated!

I published a queer Regency Romance this year! The Lady and The List follows our genderfluid MC as he navigates a London season and the return of his childhood best friend. Except all of London only knows him as a woman. 📚💙 #queerbooks #LGBTQWriteAThon #queerromance

He released her from his arms as if she was burning him. He ran his hands through his hair and swore again, beginning to pace. Henrietta, suddenly finding herself unsupported, sank on to the bench, her hands absently touching her lips. A scandalous list, a secret identity, and alarming bets in:

When the most prolific advice in #romance is build your backlist (which I do think is sensible) it does make me want to just publish things the second they're ready. But 3 books in one year (2 of which are unpublished currently) feels like a bad idea, right? #writesky #indieauthor #queerbooks

Ok, so it's one day over, but I officially (as of a literal minute ago) finished a novel in two months! I'd like the thank my job for never looking at what I'm doing, and my audacity for letting me write 🌶️ scenes on my work computer. #writingcommunity #queerromance #writesky #thesteerqueerseries

Hello All! I'm DD Ward. I write stuff. Have you checked my stuff? It's free. www.patreon.com/ddwardiswrit... • The Plight of the Last Paladin • Daughters of the Digital Empire • Hunted in the Wolf Wood

The good news: the Black Sails to Sunward ebook is live! Bad news: I've lost all my reviews and sales rank. It was actually pretty popular for a bit, in the top ten in its category, and now it has no rank and no reviews. This is just to say, if you've read it before, PLEASE go leave a review!

I don't know if it's because it was enemies to lovers or what but my current WIP (past the 75k mark) is the horniest couple I've ever written. Like can you stop tearing each other's clothes off for five minutes? I'm trying to write an ending here! #queerbooks #historicalromance #writesky

In my current WIP, at least once a day I have to stop and break up a sentence to become its own paragraph. These are the same types of sentences I often speak, wheezing out the end for I lack sufficient breath to support my hubris

I am 1 sale away from hitting my September goal! If you're looking for a #queerromance set in Regency England with a genderfluid MC and a real historical list of prostitutes that *someone* ends up on check out The Lady and The List! 📚💙 #historicalromance #queerbooks #indieauthor a.co/d/3b5bjIA

It's been a minute since I posted anything from The Gossip and The Guest. But this scene was actually born of my realization that it had yet to rain. In England 😂 #queerromance #writesky #writingcommunity

My MMC is demi but doesn't know that exists (it's 1814). He thought there was something deeply wrong with him. It's important because (minus being a lil slut) that's me, four years ago. When he catches feelings for the FMC it's revolutionary, much like it was for me finding my partner #queerromance

I'm about to give an MC a real birth date for the 1st time ever and it's so tempting to go absolutely ham on astrology for it, just because I can. But I also would like to finish this soonish, so maybe I'll just pick a sign instead 😂 #writingcommunity #writesky

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

In my current WIP we have Mr. All-and-nothing= A pan demi playboy who has no context for either of those labels because it's 1814 England. He could catch feelings for anybody, if he ever let anyone close. It made him the perfect candidate for a forced marriage and a little enemies to lovers 😉

One of the easiest giveaways I've ever entered!

Conservatives are now suing individual games, not just distributors. At every single step of this fight, critters have been looking for technical solutions out of it. First it was "well, just use a VPN." Next up, "just publish to your own website." This is a political problem.

About to write a scene in which my MMC is just this #writesky #queerbooks #regencyromance #hefallsfirst #hefallsHARD

"What's your book about?" To me this equates to "sell it to me" and my imposter syndrome is soooo bad! Plus, I'm writing open door queer romance. That gets a little... uncomfy. "Yeah, so this guy is writing the revival of a list of prostitutes"=NSFW #queerbooks #writingcommunity #writesky

Halfway through September, but I'm not *quite* halfway to my goal for the month. If anyone is looking for a #queerromance set in #regency England that features an infamous list of prostitutes, a genderfluid MC, and a shy disaster bisexual I offer for your consideration The Lady and The List #booksky

What if modern terms were used in medieval times? “Ah, Sir Geodfrey, dost thou still keep company with Lady Rowena?” “Alas, she hath ghosted me.” *𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨* “Verily, it hath hit the fan now…”

Title options for my WIP: The Rapscallion and The Responsible The Rascal and The Reticent Either placement could be switched, and either term used. Premise is enemies to lovers, forced marriage -demi pan playboy weds peasant class woman who HATES him #writingcommunity #writesky #queerbooks #poll

Just hit 50k in my WIP, which means I've been averaging 1k per day (I started 50 days ago). As my last project before this series took 10 years for two books, I cannot express how proud I am of my growth. Might be a 2 book year?? #writingcommunity #writesky #queerbooks

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I would say, in the words of RuPaul, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" It will largely be true of every installation, but for sure The Lady and The List as well as my current WIP (about a pan demi character) #writingcommunity #queerromance #queerbooks

I am delighted to announce that today is the release date for The Maiden and Her Monster, an atmospheric sapphic novel perfect for fans of The Shape of Water and all its queer variants! The story follows Malka, who must confront her growing feelings for the creature she was taught to fear. 🌈📚

Got a new kitten who was too scared to come close to me. Yesterday I coaxed him out finally by just talking to myself about future pairings for my Regency series 😅 Anyway this is Phantom #writesky #writingcommunity #authorproblems #kitten

Any #indieauthors interested in a buy and review exchange? I'm looking for something new to read and I'd love to pair up with someone to buy each other's books and leave honest reviews at the end. (Pretty sure that'd be within the review restrictions) #booksky #writingcommunity #bookswap

I meant to pop on here and stun with my quick, efficient post about my #queerromance novel, and then get back to my *actual* job but it's been 30mins of scrolling so.... here's a link? a.co/d/3b5bjIA Yes, that's the good marketing I was aiming for 🫠 #queerbooks #historicalromance #regencyromance
