Two days ago this riverside weeping willow was still only buds. Spring has sprung!

Something maybe all can agree on. Regardless of where a book was bought, dropping a rating on it at Amazon helps every single author.

It's especially powerful for small presses, their authors, and indie authors.

Within my reach
I could have touched
I might have chanced that way
Soft sauntered thro' the village—
Sauntered as soft away
So unsuspected Violets
Within the meadows go—
Too late for striving fingers
That passed, an hour ago
— Emily Dickinson

Book cover of Counterpoint by A. L. Brooks shows two young women in the ‘yin/yang’ position, their lips almost meeting. Alongside is an excerpt from the book: The lobby was lit by the desk lamp, casting a warm glow across Rachel’s features. She looked beautiful, and for a moment Lisa couldn’t breathe. Rachel looked up as Lisa approached and smiled. “That all sounded wonderful.” She gestured towards the hall. “Would you like to go out sometime?” Rachel froze. Lisa froze. Well, shit, she hadn’t exactly intended to blurt it out like that right now. But Rachel had looked so…alluring, Lisa’s thoughts had scrambled—and out it came.

Book cover of Counterpoint by A. L. Brooks surrounded by tropes/story hints: Family drama; slow burn; some steamy stuff; worst villain I ever wrote; grumpy old man; self-discovery; lesbian leads; found family; angsty; lesbian longing

One week to go!!! Gah, I’m so excited for you all to meet Rachel & Lisa 😊

A dreamlike photograph showing a lone swan in the centre of a tranquil lake, with no discerning difference between water, land, nor sky.

And if the world should crumble,
if the sea should rise
and the sky forget its blue,
still, I would love her,
in the silence that follows,
in the eternity that remains.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
