I have a novella coming out April 13th. All That Glitters is the silliest you will likely ever see me. It makes me laugh and brings me joy and hopefully it will also bring YOU laughter and joy. Preorder on Kobo!

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising.

IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar.

Reposts very welcome. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ“šโ™ ๏ธ

(And I have two queer romance books releasing later this year...)

I'm going to be at #Boskone this weekend!

In related news, I am largely done with the packing I can do tonight, and contemplating whether I bring the smaller shoulder bag (will not fit knitting inside, knitting clips on) or the bigger one.

(Going to finish packing in the morning and decide.)
