"I just always felt that no matter how deeply I knew you, I never quite spoke your language."

One of my favorites! What a great opportunity for Prime Members to read it.

Where my @tjdallas7.bsky.social lovers at??? Yes, I ended that in a preposition, stop judging me, Daniels!! Let’s help out our FAVORITE author! You all know your favs!! Harry? Lara? Amelia? She needs quotes! Now!

“Legends start as rumors!”

Fake "Book Acquisition Letter" from Penguin Random House, offering a GUARANTEED contract deal w/ $200,000 advance...but writer much submit "Query Letter, Book Video Trailer, and Author's Based Website" in order to qualify. Note at bottom: "Impact Media Press is our partner. They will help you execute these requirements. Please call Alex Weiss...for the pricing to start this project ASAP."

Invoice from Jess Bryan Sotomayor Sayson--the real name of the sales rep posing as agent "Alex Weiss"--for "Book Acquisition Requirements": $4,000.

Scammers often forge Big 5 publisher docs as part of their effort to get writers to part with $$. Here's how scammer Impact Press Media (dba multiple other names) tried to get one writer to pay $4000. (Name on the invoice is the real name of sales rep posing as agent "Alex Weiss") #WriterBeware

Ok so, hypothetically, if I wanted to submit more than five favorites, could I fill out this form more than once? Asking for a friend 😅

I’m praying to all the sapphic gods that exist in our universe, that you one day decide to give those characters a full novel 🙏🙏🙏

I have so many questions about what happens now 😭

Just finished the most heartwarming short story by @elizalentzski.bsky.social and I’m utterly heartbroken by the fact that this isn’t a full blown novel 😭😭

If you haven’t read Checking Her Out, then you’re missing out for sure.

No doubt I’ll be dreaming about what happens next tonight.

Random thought about sweater season. I would
love one that says “Sleigh Queen” and the image is a sleigh pulling Vivian Carlisle and Magdalene Nox. Nope, not explaining any of these details. I would laugh. I would cry. I would wear it until the threadbare remnants were placed in my grave beside me.

Bluesky tip! If you're POSTING A LINK, once you've pasted in the URL, you can click where it says ADD LINK CARD at the bottom and it attaches the link to your post. THEN you can DELETE THE URL you copied into your post and get all those characters back in your character limit.

If anyone knows of any sapphic book readers or authors that need a Bluesky code, please let me know! I have a few to share!

I cannot say enough about how amazing @reallymckay.bsky.social is as a writer. A deity among us. I feel so blessed to exist is the same timeline and get to read her masterpieces. I have no idea why it took me so long to find such treasures, but dear lord, I’m so thankful that I finally found them.

I’ve read very close to 100 books so far this year, and in all those stories, there have only been a handful of books that COMPLETELY commanded my time, day and night. So far, Milena McKay has an unbeatable streak of keeping me awake when I know I should be asleep.

I should absolutely be asleep right now, especially knowing that my toddler will most likely wake me up at an ungodly hour. But I cannot, for the life of me, convince myself to retire my kindle for the night. Not when I’m halfway through The Delicate Things We Make by @reallymckay.bsky.social

In case you’re looking for a Friday the 13th sapphic read today! ⬇️

A board says "giveaway" and beneath it are two paperback copies and an ebook copy of Backwards by Oregon by Jae. The cover depicts a red-headed pioneer woman looking down at a wagon train.

I'm running a book giveaway for my most popular novel, Backwards to Oregon, a sapphic historical romance between a former prostitute & a woman living as a man in 1851.

The winners get to choose between an ebook, hardcover, paperback, or audiobook copy.

I turn into a momentary fangirl every time I see one of my favorite authors follow me on here 😅

Bluesky Instructions Welcome to Bluesky! My user handle on the app is @TiffanyEAuthor.bsky.social Bluesky is a lot like Twitter, except it uses keywords within posts instead of hashtags (at least as of now)...which isn'...

If you're new to Bluesky, I put together a "Getting Started" Google Docs guide to the app for my friends, which others are more than welcome to peek at if they think it might be helpful:

docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you get a tonne of warnings for stuff, I just learned (thanks to @skyekilaen.bsky.social) that you can adjust your preferences in your Settings. 👍 Just toggle the Enable Adult Content at the top and it gives you three options (Hide, Warn, or Show.)

I’m so glad I’m not the only one 😂

The new HIGHLY INVASIVE ad monitoring & selling framework is now live in Google Chrome & it's ON by default, so you MUST EXPLICITLY OPT OUT. We all know this is bad, but here's how to do it:

Settings>Privacy & Security>Ad Privacy, disable all 3 options: Ad Topics, Site-suggested Ads, Ad Measurement

Okay, Sapphfic community, I'm officially on the hunt for beta readers for this manuscript! This is my first novel, but I have a degree in journalism and have been writing my whole life.
