Thanks for a fun season, Chicago Cubs. 🩵⚾️🧢

Desperate demon at number seven next to Opal Reyne

So Demon is charting. 7k in the kindle store, 7 in Demon Romance. Thank you to everybody who has picked a copy up. Can’t say what it means to me. My readers are just the best.

"You’re a man. You’re into man stuff, like weed wackers, sports that cause brain damage, and getting hired by your dad’s golf friends. But it’s autumn. And something feels different."

Michigan Avenue right now.

Oh yay! That is awesome!

Good luck to everyone! ✨

I am squeamish too, and it is not! I looked away at one scene, but then they cut away. 😊

Lucky Author Success Story book cover: Double Happiness by Heather Eng, featuring a woman wearing sunglasses, a skyline, the silhouettes of two men, and the Chinese “double happiness” symbol “Even after countless revisions and feedback from other people, I never felt like I quite nailed my query letter, which is why I turned to you. Once I saw your edits, I knew it was the query letter that would get me an agent. I signed with one soon after, and sold my novel the next year.” - Heather Eng

I have permission to share! I am THRILLED about our client’s debut novel, which was snapped up by Penguin Random House in a pre-empt.
I've read thousands of query letters, and I love collaborating with authors on them. Bookmark our site for future reference! luckyauthor.com

"I use it, it's just a tool like Photoshop," is the refrain from people I know that has me biting virtually clean through my tongue.

No. It's emptying you.

Am married to a big guy and I worship at the temple of his soul regularly, so no worries 😘

I loved House of Guinness so much I am going to watch all 10 episodes again. Gorgeous visuals, vivid characters, SEXY, fun style choices, soundtrack full of bangers (inc. one of my all time fave songs, "Starburster"by @fontainesdc.bsky.social, TWICE, like bookends) #tv #music #netflix ☘️🔥☘️🔥

This is pretty fucked up considering she has active stalkers and has recently beefed up security.

Sunrise Cabin: An Uplifting, Feel-Good Clean and Wholesome Romance Amazon.com: Sunrise Cabin: An Uplifting, Feel-Good Clean and Wholesome Romance: 9781951952112: Donovan, Stacey: Books

But I have published one clean romance as Stacey Donovan, because I figure no one would expect a clean romance writer to be a former porn star. I may do more sweet romance under this name!

It's my author pen name. Before I signed my first writing contract I did a quick google of my real name and found I shared it with a popular vintage porn star. So I used the name of the song I was listening to at that moment ("Bryn," Vampire Weekend.)

Her Knight at the Museum by Bryn Donovan: 9780593816592 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books A centuries-long curse is no match for rom-com shenanigans when a medieval knight is brought to life in modern-day Chicago. Forgotten by time and abandoned by hope, Sir Griffin de Beauford’s existen...

This was why I loved writing HER KNIGHT AT THE MUSEUM. Griffin is from the medieval period, before it became fashionable for guys to repress their feelings. And he's exuberant and was so much fun to write.
