“You are stunning. How lucky am I to have you wander into my life?” I breathe out, close enough now to see my exhalation stir her luxurious curls

Many are asking what should we do now?
“We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’”
-fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Two books side by side: The Pull of the Tide and Di-Curious. The cover art is by the same artist, Madison Brake. The Pull of the Tide features a pirate and a mermaid under blue-green water. Both have long hair, one dark and one gold. Di-Curious has two horned people, one with shoulder length pink hair and one with short teal hair. The pink haired one has her hand on the other's armor. They're in front of a library with various statues of dragons, pride flags, a Nintendo Switch, and books.

I'm so honored to share that TWO of my book covers are in the GCLS Tee Corinne finals! Madison Brake's art is phenomenal and absolutely perfect for these books. If you have a moment, please look through the finalists and cast a vote! tinyurl.com/5c5knwtv

Late life bloomer here. I’m a curvy girl and thought all my life (was told really) I need a big, strong man to make me appear smaller and more “feminine”. My girlfriend and I are the same height. She’s 60 pounds lighter than me and tosses me around in fun ways like I don’t weigh a thing. 🙄 silly ego

Ain’t that the truth. 🤬

Quote from Di-Curious, a romance novel from Erin Branch “Rich men think they can pay their way into and out of everything.”

An image of a full spread illustrated book cover. The front cover shows to women with their backs to each other and a red dragon arcing over them. The first woman has short red hair and a blue scarf and the second woman has long white hair and is wearing a blue dress. Both women are holding swords. The title reads ‘A Ballad for Slayers & Monsters’ with ‘Rita A. Rubin’ written at the top. The back cover shows a vampire woman with grey skin and long black hair. Her head appears above a sea of water with her clawed hand appearing as though it’s holding a boat. The text there reads ‘Kas of Veldenier has carved her name upon Claudia’s heart.’

I’m beyond excited to reveal the hardcover of A BALLAD FOR SLAYERS & MONSTERS!

I’m so honoured to have had it illustrated by @annalisejensen.bsky.social

Pre-order sale today and tomorrow. Rival chefs must enter a marriage of convenience to stop a land deal in this delightful romcom. Fay and I even included recipes!
