Meghan Spelbrink is QUERYING 📚❤️🤞

Redheaded woman wearing glasses and holding up a hot pink cup that says “Bay Area Romance Writers 2026” on it.

Had an amazing time at the BARW Writers Retreat getting words on the page! #writersky #amwriting

Two book covers over a maroon stripe and a pink background with the words “My current reads” next to them. The covers are Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai and A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen

Whatcha reading this month? I’m in it for the campy adventure vibes (Partners in Crime) and touch her and die energy (A Curse Carved in Bone). You? #amreading #romancereaders #booksky @alisharai.bsky.social

"Corruption and injustice hung heavy on the horizon. Sapina could see the progression it would take. Dwindling resources squandered by a new king who knew nothing of this nation’s delicate balance. Starvation...Her sister married off to a foreign power...Karopian weapons and technology bartered for scraps of food...War. And the whole time she’d be stuck with a husband she didn’t choose, her belly full of his heirs. Like her mother. Helpless, dismissed, trapped, defeated. Dead. She couldn’t let this happen...but all her cards were on the table and had been trumped at every turn. She’d gambled and lost. No moves left to play. No champion or competitor to put forward in this contest... No one except herself." - Heir of Night, Meghan Spelbrink

When the stakes are sky-high, the only thing you can do is fight with everything you've got.

Sapina has been passed over for the throne because she's a woman. Instead she's been offered up as a prize for the winner of a king contest. Unless she changes the game.

What's at stake for your MC?

Oh man. Been there. The joys of parenthood or something? 🥴
