Would he rather be an innkeeper's son than a prince? Sure. But now he's the heir, and that means shaking up the way things are done in this country—and introducing a little magic. Meet Prince Beau in an early free reviewer copy of the MMF fantasy romance A King's Trust! buff.ly/413e5CC #booksky

I'm trying to make a dream come true. Buffoons in government chairs make it increasingly difficult. If you want to help (and get great stories out of it), here's a thread of things you can do for me and ANY indie author in your life! (All the links to do it: https://buff.ly/4jR1ZE8 ) #booksky

Can the reluctant heir win over a duchess who hates him, ignore his pining for his more-than-he-seems guard, and solve the disappearing-magic crisis that threatens his kingdom? Get an early free reviewer copy of the MMF fantasy romance A King's Trust and find out! https://buff.ly/413e5CC #booksky

What's the most egregious red flag that gets a pass in romance novels? I think "touch her and die" only works in the fantasy realm. #romancelandia

He might've made a mistake, declaring he wouldn't marry her without ever actually speaking to her. Too late. She hates his guts AND thinks he's a murderer. Can he win her over? Get an early free reviewer copy of the MMF fantasy romance A King's Trust and find out! https://buff.ly/413e5CC #booksky

Love stories on Valentine's Day is a time-honored tradition. But not everyone's love stories are palatable enough to be published, according to right-wing leadership. If they have their way, NO love stories will be. #booksky Full video for context & calls to action www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbR7...

Romance books and love stories are one of the first categories to be attacked, censored, and scorned because they are primarily written by and for the girls, the gays, and the theys. Supporting love stories is a great part of a balanced resistance diet. #booksky

I've been writing speculative fiction since long before I could spell "speculative fiction," and after a long detour through a more respectable profession, here I am, back at the same dream I was so sure of at eight: "I want to be a writer." #authorsky

The upside of doing WAY too much research and documentation for my worldbuilding is that I've got a LOT of behind-the-scenes content for this digital PR box. Just gotta decide which parts I can't include because [SPOILERS] and lay it all out nicely. #authorsky

Which fantasy romance trope is your favorite? I gotta admit I don't go in much for Fated Mates, but I am SUCH a sucker for Supernaturally Loyal Protector and, more of a microtrope, Constant Annoying Nicknames. #romancelandia

Ever wondered why the &^$% books are so expensive? (Hint: it's not because authors are raking in the cash) www.semcpherson.com/post/why-the... #BookSky

Today I learned that if you want to support an author you love, the best thing you can do is to preorder their upcoming novel, in hardback if available, through your local indie bookstore. 💙📚
