Literally my first book

And also the PWHL and the NWSL and the WSL and literally every single women's sports league ever.

I love running outside in the winter

Hey Facebook, post from the girl guide of Canada that reads: Inclusion makes Girl Guides of Canada stronger. It ensures that girls and youth have a place to build confidence, develop the skills to thrive and connect with a community that sees them for who they truly are. Girl Guides of Canada welcomes all girls – cisgender and transgender – as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in spaces that focus on and are driven by the experience of girls. Learn more about our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility at girlguides.ca/inclusivity

Feels good.

I am enjoying the gay hockey show.

A lot of days my job doesn't seem very librarian-y.

Other days we spend 90 minutes discussing microfiche.

Next week our town votes on whether to go ahead with the plan to build a new HS (this one is 70 years old, overcrowded, and held together with duct tape). This morning, we got word that there will be no school because the damn thing flooded.
People better vote for the new school.

The cover of Yours For the Season, by Kate Cochrane. It shows two women sitting close together and smiling at each other, one with long blonde hair and the other with short hair and a side shave.

I had such a terrific time reading Yours For the Season by @katebcochrane.bsky.social!

It's so warm and festive and queer, it's got all the Christmas shenanigans you could possibly want, a really lovely romance, and a rich seam of emotional truth and self-discovery.

Thank you so much! This is very kind.

and YOURS FOR THE SEASON is a smalltown holiday (takes place between Christmas and New Year's) romance between a pro hockey player (who you meet in Nat & Darcy) and her best friend's older sister. It's got smalltown NH vibes, a cute puppy, and a silly holiday contest.

Cover of Wake Up, Nat & Darcy. Two women, one with long blonde hair and the other with long brown hair, stand on a hockey rink looking at each other

Cover of Yours For The Season featuring two women, one with a ponytail and undercut and the other with long blonde hair and bangs. Each has a cup of cocoa and they are staring at each other, smiling.

For everyone losing their minds over Heated Rivalry and now looking for some more romance with hockey players, may I suggest my books?
WAKE UP, NAT & DARCY is a second chance romance between two former college teammates turned Team USA and Canada rivals who are working together to cover the Olympics

Just wanted to express my gratitude for @coachbennett.bsky.social and @showupsociety.bsky.social for helping me be the best parent to my kids in their athletic endeavors. Your advice has been invaluable. So thank you both so much. (You’ve made me a better runner too, but that’s less important)

Please shop here (or your local indie if you have one)!

You can get my books here with free shipping today!

AI is bad. And it’s really bad for research.

Holiday time often means time with family who drive you absolutely bananas. If you want to escape into someone else's holiday and terrible family, YOURS FOR THE SEASON has you covered.
Grab a copy before you head home!

The @thepwhl.com season is kicking off and if you like your hockey romance on the sapphic side, may I suggest my books WAKE UP NAT & DARCY and YOURS FOR THE SEASON?

17 Sapphic Holiday Romances To Devour This Winter The perfect cozy gay reads for this holiday season!

What a thrill to see It's a Fabulous Life on the hallowed grounds of @autostraddle.bsky.social with so many cozy sapphic holiday romances!

Puck is such a chaotic little demon dog but every morning when I get home from my run and let the dogs out of their crates, no one has ever been happier to see me than that dog.

It almost makes up for all the mischief and shenanigans the rest of the day.

Bonus of the day: helped a student with a research question and they responded that they saw my book on the shelves at @lovestruckbooks.bsky.social! Pretty frickin great all around.

Author friends! Do you have bookplates for signing (and sending to folks etc)? Where did you get them?

Thank you so much!

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

If you are using ChatGPT or similar for research (specifically legal research) you are a clown and should be treated with complete and utter disdain

(this brought to you by a bumper crop of folks asking us to check if AI hallucinated cases etc).

Every time I am drafting, I "rediscover" that the best way for me to get words on the page is by using writing sprints.

Each time I am AMAZED that it's so effective.

Apparently, I will never learn this lesson and have to rediscover it for every book. I am a dingdong

Is there really not a single queer romance on the goodreads end of year thing?

If that’s true what a clown show

Taking the girls to visit middlebury on their off day and it’s full winter on this drive

of course!

If you've checked out my book YOURS FOR THE SEASON and want some more holiday romance, you might try this post to find some others

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.
