I have loved every one of Alison Cochrun’s books and this is no exception! “Every Step She Takes” is immersive and filled with heart, steam, deep connections, self-discovery, and lots of giggles.

Both the grocery store and ferry charge a fee, but it's absolutely worth it! There's no way to catch a ferry from Stehekin, go down lake, and come back on the same day. So, if we wanted to shop ourselves we'd pay ~$80 for the ferry plus a hotel. #stehekin #northcascadesnationalpark #lakechelan

Ahhh life in Stehekin. I love it. Could you live in a place with very minimal connectivity? #stehekin #lakechelan #northcascades #nationalpark

Yes I’ll blush and giggle anytime anyone asks me for my autograph, or even talks about my book. 😂 #indieauthor #queerromance #wlw #sapphicbooks #enby

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Do you think he’s looking for #wlwbooks? Or cupcakes? What do you mean he isn’t searching for the things I’d look for? Damn, now I want cupcakes while I read a queer romance novel. brb

I cannot tell you how much my heart is warmed by the reviews you all write for “In a Flash.” I tear up every time I read them.
If you were given a second chance with the woman of your dreams, would you be brave enough to take it?

Things have felt beyond overwhelming on multiple fronts and it’s easy to feel defeated or hopeless. But that’s how they win. As I’ve said to a few friends, we need to be effing menaces with boundless hope. I’ll go to the woods to regroup, but I will not back down. #resist #youmatter #lgbtqia

This review still brings a smile to my face. “What a beautiful, thoughtful, and gripping read!... I absolutely could not put this book down. Nature, hiking, birds, sleeping under the stars, true friends, self-love, cinnamon rolls, and strong sexy queers - what more could you want??” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I touched the Atlantic today and, sun of a beach, it was nice. A little bit of sunshine will tide me over for a long time. I don’t harbor any bad feelings that we don’t see the sun as much in the winter, but it shore is nice to be out in it! This is the content y’all want, right? #punsfordays

When you go to a queer meet up and @reiddikulus.bsky.social tells you to bring copies of your book, you do it. And then you sign copies and blush. Or is that just what I do? Outdoorsy queers looking for a cozy, slow burn, #wlw romance novel set in national parks? I got you. #wlwromance #queerreads

Camping trip to the Oregon coast in December? Heck yeah. Did I freeze? Quite nearly. Still worth it. 😂🌈
We need more rainbows in this world, not less. I will never again hide who I am. And we aren’t alone. #wearehere #queerlove #nonbinary #transpride
