Guess who just had an impromptu bath (and mouth washing) after she found a dead squirrel in the backyard? πŸ˜‚πŸ€’πŸ˜¬πŸ™ƒπŸΏοΈ Willow doesn't hunt but oh boy does she love scavenging lolol (every year she finds mummified things when the snow melts - so charming!)

Also she'd like to show you her new radish toy ❀️

Seems hard to believe that Margin of Error has already been out for a month! (a little over a month, actually!)

Have your read it yet? If so, I hope you enjoyed Marin and Charlotte's journey πŸ’—

Off the Rails was first released as part of the Love is All charity anthology in 2021, then rereleased as a standalone short story with a homemade cover by me later that year. Now it's finally getting the professional treatment it deserves. It's also available in paperback for the very first time!

I am *thrilled* to share this newly redesigned cover for my sapphic short story Off the Rails with you, again designed by the fabulous Cath Grace Designs. I love it so much! The swoony pose, the tattoo, the color palette, and of course, the whales! πŸ’œπŸ‹

And because I know some people are sick of tropes, here's a short blurb! πŸ’—

From Rachel Lacey, author of Learning Curves, comes a tender, hopeful romance about how fate is what you’re given but love is what you choose, and how small sparks can change everything.

I never get tired of making these trope graphics, and Margin of Error actually has so many that I'm going to do a trope graphic part 1 and part 2! Here's part 1:

πŸ’— First time with a woman x2!
πŸ’— Academia
πŸ’— Only one bed
πŸ’— Both over 40
πŸ’— Hurt/comfort
πŸ’— Cute pup
πŸ’— Slow burn

As you may already know, I'm revealing new covers for several of my existing books this year. My next redesigned cover reveal will have WHALES on it (yay!!) πŸ‹ And the one after that will have a box of kittens! πŸˆβ€β¬›

Who can guess which books I'm talking about?

How cool is this? The USPS has created stamps featuring scenes from Harriet Powers's "Pictorial Quilt." If you've read Learning Curves, you might remember Audrey giving a lecture about this quilt in her Women in Art class.

Willow's just wondering if you've read Margin of Error yet, and if so...is Ember your favorite character? Because Ember is very much inspired by Willow, and puppies are awesome, right? πŸ˜‚πŸ₯°πŸΎ

πŸ’— Valentine's Character Art! πŸ’—

I'm obsessed with this Valentine's Day themed Margin of Error character art by the talented @dominiique.art!

Margin of Error is out now in ebook, KU, paperback, and audio! Read it for second chances, sapphic pining, and love after forty.

I mailed out the last batch of pre-order incentives yesterday, so if you filled out the form, your goodies are on their way! I did run out of puppy stickers on this last batch, but anyone who didn't get a puppy sticker got a bonus character art print ❀️

This book is sort of my love letter to late bloomers. It's never too late to start over, and it's never too late to bloom πŸ’—

Two things that I've heard a lot so far are: the prologue is a lot (lol yes it is!) and that this book feels a little different from my others. That one I wasn't expecting as much, but I like it! I enjoy keeping things fresh and interesting.

I love that my entire feed since last night has been talking about the musical performances from the Superbowl, not a single mention of actual football πŸ˜‚ And I've seen nothing but praise for Bad Bunny's halftime show. Clearly I'm following the right people ❀️

Just peeked at Audible & I can't believe Margin of Error currently has a 4.9 avg rating - that is a huge WOW and THANK YOU! And also...all the kudos in the world to the fantastic Quinn Riley for doing such a beautiful job of bringing Marin and Charlotte to life! πŸ’—
