I Heart SapphFic 2025 Reading Challenge: Week #8 Secret Crush. The cover of the book Di-Curious is in the left hand corner, which features two fantasy characters with horns, one with shoulder length pink hair and the other with short teal hair. A pile of books with butterflies and tea separates the book cover with the descriptive text.
The ebook of Di-Curious is on sale this week and featured in the I Heart SapphFic reading challenge under the category "Secret Crush." I'm also giving away a copy here: iheartsapphfic.com/2025/02/24/2...

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

If you're an indie sapphic fiction author and you're not on it, let me know and I'll add you.

I got an email today that @evelynshine.bsky.social and I got accepted into “The Battle of the Beans,” a local chili cook-off competition. With a name like that, it’s like we’re living in a sapphic rom-com…if not for the dystopian backdrop.

Trump signs an order restricting gender-affirming care for minors
President Trump signed an executive order seeking to end gender-affirming medical treatments for children and teenagers under the age of 19.
Gender affirming care is lifesaving care. These are OUR kids. We have to fight for them. I called my congress members and begged them to fight. Please do the same. I don't know if it will work, but our kids deserve to know we care. Make the call, then share!

Yesterday, we were browsing a store called Wander North GA. The store owner asked if he could help us find anything. Before my brain could check my mouth I replied, “nope, just Wandering around.”

Having fun reading my book "The Librarian's Gargoyle" a queer open mic night at Ginger's Revenge in Asheville, NC.
youtu.be/0PlIw8lbtq4 This is why authors hire narrators. 😆
Look for the audiobook narrated by Abby Craden in spring 2025.
