New intro time! I’m Diane, a pan/demi author. I have two books out: a YA sapphic romance DOES LOVE ALWAYS WIN? and a YA superhero novel SUPERFICIAL (pan/demi MC)! My WIP is a sapphic murder mystery. I write the books I wished I could have read in high school. 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Valentine's Day to those that celebrate! In my YA sapphic romance book DOES LOVE ALWAYS WIN? Shorty was not into romance or romance books at all. She thought they were so cliche. Then she meets Kristy, the snarky pansexual new girl... I have a similar story. 🧵
