Hey all! Seeing lots of new faces, so here's a quick little intro:

🔮 I write mostly paranormal & fantasy romance

💻 I'm currently juggling 3 WIPs along w/ a blog (details coming soon)

📚 I love books, blankets, bonfires, coffee, the scent of rain & so much more

I saw the most bonkers conversation on tiktok where people were arguing that Romance doesn’t need an HEA and authors were fighting for their lives in the comments trying to explain what a genre convention is. Again, trying to sell me a mystery with no crime and see what happens.

God we need more craft discussions and less fights about which tropes are good or bad that play out in a way that makes it clear no one even understands what a trope is anymore.
rdotspoon.bsky.social Rebekah Weatherspoon @rdotspoon.bsky.social · 2d
Romance should evolve, but its so clear when people want the shine and financial benefit of Romance without respecting the genre, its conventions, or the readers. It's disturbing, but not surprising that we've arrived in a place where CRAFT DOESNT MATTER is a thing people believe.

6. Song that reminds you of your WIP.

I have an entire playlist of songs that fit my Fated WIP, but "Can't Forget You" by My Darkest Days is the one song that inspired Nick & Karina's story the most.

TFW you're on deadline and your fictional people stray off script, throwing your entire story off.

Really need to dissociate from reality right now, so I’m gonna put some music on, drink some wine, and work on my spooky short for the rest of the night.

💙📚 #WritersLife #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
Personal Mood for my spooky short 11 pics Top half (L to R): Long haired blonde leaning against a tree with her eyes closed. Quote: "There's someone in my head but it's not me". Blonde woman with her back turned is standing on a ledge overlooking the sea. Quote: "What is real?" Close up of man's stubbled jaw. Man sitting on his bed with his head bowed. Bottom (L to R): Image of shadowy woman in a black gown standing in the woods. Couple kissing. Quote, "It's You, It's Me, It's US." Four ghostly figures roaming around the woods. Silhouettes of a man reaching for a woman's hand as they run up a grassy hill.

Did you know I have a book that isn't related to my Almost Like Magic series? This quick cozy fantasy read (less than 100 pages!) is set at Halloween, so perfect for your weekend reads (and the paperback is a wee 4x6" and is so adorable!)

www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKS866K1

#fantasybooks #Halloweenbooks
Image is a please-read-my-book graphic. The background is a fun Halloween set up with little pumpkins and fake spiders, and sparkly black branches. The silhouette of a bat is visible in the very back. At the top in an orange modern all caps font says When you like your Halloween vibes more cozy than creepy... At the center is a paperback of Soulless Mates by Jill Corddry (Hi! That's me!). Image is the cover of a book. The background is glowing, dark red, brightening to orange in the middle, and fading to black at the bottom. In the middle of the image is a heart symbol with black devil horns. The pointy end of the heart is glowing with bursting flames. Animated glittery gold hearts shimmer across the image of the cover and then fade away. All text is in white. At the top are the words: Six intertwined stories of magic, love, and secrets. The title--Soulless Mates--is in the middle. The author's name--Jill Corddry--is at the bottom. Image is a please-read-my-book graphic. The background is a cozy warm-hued image looking downward on a pile of books, with a lit pillar candle just visible in the upper right corner and a couple of pressed white flowers along the far right. At the top in a white modern font reads When you like your Halloween vibes more cozy than creepy... An ebook reader is situated so it looks like it's on the top of the pile of books and the cover is of Soulless Mates by Jill Corddry (Hi! That's me!). Image is the cover of a book. The background is glowing, dark red, brightening to orange in the middle, and fading to black at the bottom. In the middle of the image is a heart symbol with black devil horns.

At the top are the words: Six intertwined stories of magic, love, and secrets. The title--Soulless Mates--is in the middle. The author's name--Jill Corddry--is at the bottom.
