You're more than welcome 💜

I finally read ungentlemanly warfare and absolutely LOVED IT!!

Nice! That's one I don't have yet.

I think my indie Smashwords titles are on sale—I have everything I can possibly put in there put in there on the 25% off sale.

I’m also on #KoboPlus with nearly everything I’ve written.

Just putting that out there while I try to get the pupper to swallow his antibiotics (which he refuses to do).

*sigh* fusion energy... not mega energy.
soooo many raids!

I even got a shiny :)

Any pokemon that turns purple when shiny is instant happiness for me.💜

Eldest is a rather enthusiastic player...
So, this week has been intense with all the raids he dragged me into!! On Wednesday my best friend joined us, too.
Granted, Eldest went above and beyond to get me enough Kyurem for the mega energy... I just don't have the energy for all the walking.

𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴 is a sp🌶️ cy, slow-burn m/m urban fantasy romance full of mysterious glitches, coffee-fueled flirting, found family, single dad vibes, & an opinionated espresso machine named Gandalf.
Book 6 in the Runaway Prince Hotel collab series, where magical royals find 💜 over a cup of ☕.

Promotional collage for Tech Prince Troubles by Blaine D. Arden features a golden title over a silhouette of two men at sunset. Other panels show a purple-skinned figure with circuit-like markings, a barista using an espresso machine, slices of burnt toast, and a blue circuit board. Overlaid dialogue reads: “You burned toast? Is that an American expression?” “No. I actually burned toast.” “Oh. That’s bad.”

HEA guaranteed.

Descriptive phrases like “Runaway Prince,” “Single Dad,” and “Espresso Wizard” highlight whimsical traits. Text reads: “Fairytales aren’t just for children.”

Ending today!

Whodunnit producers have GOT to stop casting the most famous actor in the movie/show as The Bad Guy. It’s making them far too predictable.

Yup. Obvious from the moment the appear on the screen.

Good Luck!!!

Promotional image for Tech Prince Troubles by Blaine D. Arden features a collage with a purple-skinned person with circuit-like face markings, a flying goose at sunset, a man rowing a boat, and a barista operating an espresso machine. A quote at the bottom reads: "The sun hit Sam’s face just right as he slowed his boat. His beaming smile. The twinkle in his eyes. I had to capture the happiness he exuded."

Your next magical MM romance is just a cup away.

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. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

Pssst! Enjoy beta reading? Looking for a beta reader? This promo image has a blue mechanical typewriter, a pretty floral notebook, and also a plant for ambiance.

Do you enjoy beta reading? Are you writing something & you'll be looking for beta readers this year?

DM me for info about a chill Discord server focused on asking for & offering beta reads!

It leans SFF and queer but isn't exclusively either. 👍

Reposts welcome.
