Yes, currently they are vying for territory with Hedge Witches which is Not Ideal. And in any case hedgerows are too dry for them...

Hear, hear! And, of course, when we bring back the bog, we create more habitat for the Bog Witch. And the world needs those....

An orange leafy background with a blue thread of wool passing over it, as well as the occasional autumn leaves. In the centre is the cover for Common Bonds 2 (two friends knitting a sweater within a frame of autumnal leaves).

This meme shows a three headed, green hydra; two heads look dangerous and serious while the third looks cartoonish and derpy with its tongue poking out of its mouth. The text reads: "Caroline Bingley's SELF ESTEEM, DESIRE TO CRUSH HER ENEMIES, LIBIDO."

Caroline Bingley is, as ever, her own worst enemy.

Find out how in THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, a sapphic historical romance that will have you giggling and swooning over our mostly-intentioned, obnoxious heroine!

We Are Made of Scars and Starlighy by Nicole Zelniker. A city skyline under stars.

We Are Made of Scars and Starlighy by Nicole Zelniker. A city skyline under stars.

Loved this novella by @nicolezelniker.bsky.social, about a gay man with a chronic illness (lupus) who agrees to be his bi best friend’s fake boyfriend for a family event, but then gets close to her brother.

Not a traditional romance, more of a love letter to found family and self acceptance! πŸ“šπŸ’™ πŸ“šπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

A black, white and tan dog stands on a rocky hilltop, more sun-bleached hills in the background, coloured yellow, and a cloudy sky with dark grey and white clouds.

Dark grey cloud and blond hills, cicadas singing and the spicy vanilla scent of gorse flowers. Phew, it was hot tho

My January royalties for Overdrive. Not much money you may think, not many 'units' sold. But this is LIBRARIES buying my books (Probably mostly my m/m romance Pride and Prejudice retelling MR COLLINS IN LOVE) and as a life-long library lover that makes me so happy!! πŸ˜ƒ

Hey! Who out here is recommending SEDUCING THE SORCERER by @leewelchwriter.bsky.social? Because I need to follow more people with good taste and get more recs like this.

I’m savoring the final chapter right now and whoo boy! It’s been a minute since I’ve been been blown away by a book like this.

It makes me so happy that my book could lead to you finding out more about yourself! And of course Mr Collins isn't really odious. He's kind, brave, loyal, inventive, thoughtful and conscientious - qualities I expect you also possess xx

Jane Austen Society of Aotearoa New Zealand "The pleasures of friendship, of unreserved conversation, of similarity of taste and opinions"

The Jane Austen Society of Aotearoa New Zealand interviewed me about my book Mr Collins in Love, which reimagines the clergyman from Pride and Prejudice as gay, autistic, and the hero of his own romance. Read it here: janeaustensocietynz.wordpress.com/blog/
