Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions from readers about the platform and format that earns authors most. I have written a blog post to answer those questions. jae-fiction.com/how-to-make-... #sapphicbooks #writingcommunity

Here we go. Sadly, this was all so predictable decades ago. And fleeing Amazon/KU won't make a huge difference when this is applied to the Internet in general. What will happen to individual shops? Platforms like Patreon?

It's Spending Blackout Day, and since it goes along with a blackout on Meta platforms as well, here's a shortened version of #lesficfri today. Just words of a sapphic book, nothing else. (The word is worry which is sadly appropriate these days).

Hey. NYers. Do me a favor and support the following assembly bills: NY A05464 aka the Freedom to Read Act, which will protect libraries & librarians & NY A05416 aka the Books Save Lives Act, which will require school libraries to maintain a collection of diverse books here's how🧵

Too many to mention! Wait, it's about characters...I suppose we can still play even on Blackout day, just no buy links this time? That's what I'll do.

I was happy to see that @melissatereze.bsky.social's post re: being an indie author on Amazon/in KU was shared over 100 times on FB. Here's I Heart SapphFic weighing in: iheartsapphfic.com/2025/02/26/a... I'm just so grateful for the most popular indie authors in our genre speaking up.

In my current WIP, I named a character Noemi. Much to my credit, I only called her Naomi once in about 50K words. On the other hand, my wife was reading another unedited manuscript, in which I called Marco Marcus several times...😳

There's a lot of good stuff there. Recently, we've watched a movie featuring an angry character played by Maggie Q (cathartic these days, even though it was quite violent. Did have some subtle sapphic content). But also romance, if that's more your speed.

Friends, I have a starter pack for Sapphic Mystery, Thriller and Suspense, and I added one for Sapphic Authors in KU (can be any genre as long as it's sapphic). After the recent discussions, I think it might be interesting for readers so see - so, if you'd like to add you, let me know. 🌈📚

Randomly, every once in a while, here's a reminder that this 17 books plus the prequel series exists...and I've written more over the years, of course, but having my books in KU is what has allowed me to continue (and readers to give in a binge through 70 books across 2 pen names). We are grateful -
