Novellas are hard to sell in the trad space, they do well as indie projects usually, so I am not actively seeking to rep them. πŸ’–

Yes I accept YA across all genres, the only thing I don’t really rep there are like the tearjerkers where everyone dies at the end.

I purposely knew I was listing everything out in thread form regardless and knew if people wanted they could zoom so it wasn’t a question of not being capable but a choice I made

I know defense wins championships but defensive battles are soooooo boring to watch. #lukewarmSB60take At least the half time show made up for it.

I missed my connecting flight by 2 MINUTES through no fault of my own. So now I’m in the Detroit airport hotel and have the room to myself and have turned the heat up to 76 and am basking in it.

Mind you, my partner believes perfect sleeping temp is 67 degrees. I just sleep in long pants always.

I’ve never been one for writing flash fiction but tonight I had a plot bunny that began on another flight and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So it was the perfect thing to do while waiting for this plane to take off.

Randomly decided to reread DEVIL IN WINTER and two things are still true. I ADORE Lisa Kleypas and St. Vincent is most definitely one of my favorite redeemed villains of all time.

And just like that, the hardest book of my entire career has a book deal. I'm so excited that my wild sapphic serial killer book is going to be released upon the world!

I’ve been in Frankfurt for less than an hour and already two different people have asked me for help/directions. I am walking around with a giant suitcase so I’m not sure why anyone would trust me for those but so far I seem to have helped.

I had to wake up at 6:45 AM to help get the kids ready for school. First I overslept. Then I had to take a Zofran because I was so nauseated I could barely function. Then I curled back up in bed and took naps until now. I am so the opposite of a morning person that trying to become one might kill me

Listen, I’m reading this second chance romance because it’s the third book in a series and there’s a second trilogy that picks up after this book that I am interested in continuing and I’m just like, maybe I’ll DNF this one and skip ahead. I just am not a second chance girlie.

We’re just getting the outer bands of Hurricane Erin in PR, but of course a little bit of rain knocked out the power. πŸ™„ Luckily the overcast skies and gusts of wind mean it’s not too hot.

The way I’ve never been a fan of the color orange and now I want to make it my whole personality.

Listen, the way the PJo reunion has taken over my whole personality is probably a sickness but like they were MY OTP ship. The way I sobbed through the DC finale to get to the BEST and most vindicating ending.

Ah the early aughts, you will always be special to me.

Under normal circumstances I probably would have said something to the flight attendant but we had all just dealt with a 5 hour delay and none of us were making our connecting flights so I just put my noise canceling earbuds in and blasted an audiobook.

Listen. I get it. Air travel is misery. BUT WHY HAVE PEOPLE SUDDENLY DECIDED ITS UNNECESSARY TO USE HEADPHONES?!

Maybe this Reel is brightening your day Tiffany, but I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. And Drummond, I most definitely DID NOT NEED TO LISTEN to the FULL ON MOVIE YOU DECIDED TO WATCH ON BOARD!!
