second draft cover of my second novel, Blood and Embers, came through today and i'm super stoked. can't wait to see the final product and start marketing this one because it's a bit more polished than tides. #writingcommunity #bookcover #romancebookcover

i hit over 200 followers and i have no idea how. but hay.

It's been FOREVER since I posted these. Tender Bliss and Warm Rapture are two romantic erotica shorts, each featuring a [different] w/w couple with a younger sub and older soft dom. They are both available in eBook and Audiobook. šŸ˜‡ www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYVYBYJK www.smashwords.com/books/byseri...

A sapphic romance featuring women over forty

remember the spice girls. best time of my life truly

a little snippet from Tides of Enchantment (graphic design is my passion lol) #writingcommunity #sapphicwriting #sapphicromantasy #romantasy #lesbian #butch/femme #sapphicauthor

don't you ever get tired of capital letters

don't look at my lowercase letters and assume i'm not a good writer. people really do that. hey, hello, i take off my pants when i get home. i take off the caps when i take off my pants.

i promise i won't post many sims but that (silly) game has allowed me to have very detailed physical representations of my characters in a way i could never do myself artistically. but anyway i love this set of ash and lorelei (the two leads from tides of enchantment!) #writingcommunity #ts4

i am extremely lucky to have been a ghostwriter for so long because i have so much experience with different editors, publishers, clients, and readers. just freelancing romance for years was like having some sort of classical training in the genre.

i know im speaking into the ether but i am deeply passionate about the romance genre. not just writing or reading it, but being immersed in a fantasy and fulfilling that for other sapphic women(+nb people). even if you're not writing fantasy as a genre, fantasies are your focus as a romance writer.

as romance writers, we're selling fantasies. i prefer mine to not be weighed down by reminders of oppression we face every day. sapphic people deserve fun books where we go on adventures, fall in love, and find friends along the way.

i don't see the need for things like homophobia to be included in fantasy world-building unless that novel specifically revolves around it as a theme to make a statement. especially in romance ! there are so many other conflicts not based on real life discrimination to explore in a story.

my next book will be about a daria-type femme and a "bad boy" butch who doesn't impress her in the least

just hired my book cover artist and am SO excited to see this next cover. it's one of those things you constantly check for updates on. like every five minutes. why am i like this. #writingcommunity #bookcover #bookart

this would cheer me up tonight .

#writingcommunity how great does it feel to hold your book in your hands! i love this i love this i love this and the cover is beautiful. #sapphicfantasy #romantasy #bookcover

what is your favorite species you've created (no werewolves, vampires, witches, etc. other derivatives)? what can they do, what are they powered by, what is the lore behind them? particularly want to hear from romance writers. #writingcommunity #romancenovels

so now i'm waiting about 3 weeks for line/copy edits, then i'll spend a few weeks on that, after that i will probably repeat the process with book 3 (doubting on the agent requests), and then book 4 i will definitely be finished by summer. i will immediately begin 5 lol

just finished developmental edits for one book and my brain feels like lasagna without noodles. im never writing 100k again.

I love it when women write books.

Some elements of ONCE UPON A DARK OCTOBER ā€” especially ones that readers have mentioned enjoying šŸ¦‡šŸ©ø This standalone sapphic romantasy is out now in ebook, paperback, and KU! šŸ“–: books2read.com/u/4AM9Qk #booksky šŸ’™šŸ“š

this is princess camilla of amoura. she is the only human in the books. she is so sweet, funny, a bit naive. in the third book, she runs away with her beloved protector, aella, to join the Gathering on their mission to defeat a villain with the power of mind control.

im introducing one character a day so i dont spam everyone with sims

i have been living off my writing for about 8 years now. i started ghostwriting romance and did that for several years, and then i got my first three (hetero) books published. this has made me enough money to do what i want, and what i want is lesbiannnnns

the thing about most romance is that you have to know and love women+. you have to know what they want and what turns them on. this has nothing to do with pornography. this is about fulfilling needs that go unmet in real life. that's what romance is about. escapism. fantasy. #writingcommunity

i want to introduce some of my characters here but i feel like that would be cheesy as hell. i have visual representations but theyre sims and like. everyone knows sims is goofy.

Iā€™m sorry I just love making shit up. People. Magic. Worlds. Languages. Romantic and sexual scenarios. All of it. I wish I could do it for a living.

doing edits for a 97k novel makes me want to slurp my brain out with a straw. i hate edits. i could not hate them more. anyone else? lol

this is called fairy forest :) #fairy #fairyart #assemblageart #cuteart #weirdart #artsky #artistsofbluesky #forestart

do you ever feel like you just work and work and even publish! but that you're somehow not a "real" writer if you don't have an agent and a book deal through the big 5 #writingcommunity i do alllll the time. i cannot be content with what i have done. i feel like i need to WIN the traditional route.

giving the fujoshis what they want
