sitting here still thinking about leo and devon like this is the first non-vers couple i’ve written in the series so far and tbh probably the last. but it’s plot-relevant reasons for the strict roles

now that i’ve turned in my manuscript and i am pretty caught up at day job maybe i’ll actually read a book today

congrats to you toooooo

🥲🧡

i've been having a pretty terrible week but i'm gonna turn in my manuscript this morning

seems like just a glitch but getting it fixed is taking longer than i’d hoped ☹️

day 3 of my ebooks just not being up for sale on any platform due to [a glitch?] i love publishing 🙂

i did not finish that day, but i finished yesterday, and it was 108,000 words. rip

as an author i would prefer not to be tagged in reviews under 4 stars and i know a lot of other authors who feel the same. if there's anything critical about the book in the review........just don't tag the author. like obviously please feel free to post them! i just don't want to be in it 😂

so happy you enjoyed it!! and yes it’s perfect!! the artist did such a beautiful job

the glamorous life: i have to clean the bathrooms today and then i’m going to try to finish my manuscript.

like is it really so fucking hard to say “fictional men” and leave the weird gender shit out of it

every day that i am in romance spaces and see another person talking about how they only love men written by women another part of me withers and dies :)

Books Morning Song Farm Series THE GRUMP WHISPERER, Morning Song Farm #1 (2024) THE HERO RENOVATION, Morning Song Farm #2 (2026) Firebirds Series TOO MUCH MAN, Firebirds Book #1 (2021) TOO HOT TO TOUCH, …

Hey no reason but if you'd like to read some romances that get into shitty men's hockey culture stuff, my Firebirds series does just that...

Also check out books by @aribaranwrites.bsky.social, @kellyfarmerauthor.bsky.social (women's hockey!!), and of course the queen @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social.

i mean it’s a beautiful cover so i’m perfectly happy to see it in the thumbnail 🥲

that's awesome! congrats on the assist :')

aw, you're welcome! thank you!! unfortunately writing the anxiety spirals comes very naturally 🫡

writing leo cohen is like it makes sense to get from a philip larkin reference to a breeding kink joke in five sentences

out of context images for today

it’s a grand gesture 👀

helppppp that’s amazing 😂😅

i think it’s my kindest and gentlest book so i’m not surprised it’s a favorite! i love them too 🥲

today i get to write the moment the book has been leading up to for 72,000 words

always a good choice 🥲

it turns out the secret to getting a lot of writing done is to hurt everyone’s feelings

write that format into your book imo

maybe they might enjoy akim aliu’s graphic novel, dreamer? it’s based on his life experiences.

the writing isn’t horribly complicated but the subject matter probably isn’t appropriate … it’s pretty grim.
