We found a cozy fantasy lurking in plain sight. Quirky characters and setting. A close-knit community of quirky characters. The stakes are entertaining but not perilous, gruesome, or world-altering. Focu on growth of quirky characters. A happy ending. Did we mention the quirky characters?

Cozy fantasy fans. Try Blood Hero by T.J. Mindancer where a smalltown sheriff and the director of the Repository of Unusual and Unsolvable Crimes team up to solve a crime involving a sword. www.bedazzledink.com/blood-hero #cozyfantasy #sapphicfiction #booksky #sapphicfantasy #fantasyfiction

1/6 🕊️ No Irish Need Apply.

In the 1880 and 90s, those words hung in windows and showed up in newspapers, a bitter reminder that my own ancestors were once seen as outsiders, unwelcome, and unworthy.

If you live in western Mass., you can read all my books through the CWMARS interlibrary loan program (a critical resource threatened by the DOGE cuts). 🪐📚

📖 Why do I write historical fiction? Because the past still speaks—if we’re willing to listen.

This story stayed with me long after I finished writing it. I hope it does the same for you.

A much-needed reminder of how so many of us came to be American and how immigrants have shaped this country for the better.

Message me to pre-order your copy “Irish Hope,” coming Spring 2025.

Life in a fishing village during a civil war is neither safe nor inspiring. So, when village girl Lynn has a chance to be kidnapped by a pirate queen, she takes advantage. But Darren is not as ruthless as she appears-and Lynn's not what she seems to be, either...

Believe it or not, it's about lesbians, not chess. And 19th century Austria, and mechanical contraptions, and a little chess, but still lesbians mainly.
