What are you favorite book cons or romance reader cons to go to as either an MM romance reader or an MM romance author? Not something I've done before, but I'm really interested in making some in 2026.

This is what's waiting for you in the fourth book of Damian & Jun. Have you read the first one?

Even if you favorite store isn't here, check. It's probably there.

Mind the TWs, darlings.
Damian & Jun Book 2 Available on pre-order. Available July 15. Damian laughed, dark and low against Jun’s skin. “You need a shower, pet.” Jun growled. Showering sounded like work. He’d rather stay here and be Damian’s squeeze toy. Damian kissed Jun’s stomach. “You’ve had three c*cks in you. Time to clean up.” The Residency Boys Words on golden yellow mottled background.

Surprise I just finished the 3rd installment of Ciara Darren's "Residency Boys-Damian & Jun " We find out so much more about Damian's tragic family while also seeing all his partners come together to support him and the innocent family members. Also the primal play is super hot. Enjoy!

We are on Day 2 of Momo kitty being in the mode of "where ever you are I will be there sleeping next to you". But her appetite is back something fierce! So I think the zoomies will arrive soon. Meanwhile, I am working on book releases. The felines do not understand why the laptop is so important.

Momo, the kitty, had vaccines yesterday with her brother. So she's just curled up next to me on the bench sleeping today as I work. I love the cuddles, but hope her zoomies come back soon because then I'll know she's feeling better.

I just finished the ARC on this book and can't say enough. It's not live until 7/1/25...but get ready:

Reading this latest addition to the Residency Boys series just reminded me how much I love these guys. This new series follows Damian & Jun. I highly recommend this book.

The joy of finding one more typo after the alpha readers, beta readers, editor, and an extra double checking read through. The easiest way to find that last typo...send to ARC readers. 😱😂 Can anyone relate?

Hey #MMRomance readers. Recommendations please! I'm looking for more books like Power Play by Rachel Haimonwitz or Gathering Storm by Lyn Gala. #Kobo and #Smashwords recs please! Or direct stores. I'm still working on widening my reading habits.

Also, I recommend both these books!

"He needed the crystallization of frost to sort out the heated storm within. Thoughts and urges twisted together through him, tangled up in loops that fed into each other and led nowhere. Wants. Needs. Fears. And all of them circling the same yawning empty place inside that had once been so hidden he’d thought it healed. For months, it had been approaching, but now it was right there, pressed up against his ribs inside his chest, drumming through his own heartbeat, the yearning he could no longer ignore."

I'm pondering a series launch party in #Chicago. Any other authors in the region who would want to be there if you could have a little display or handout QR codes for your books? This particular series I'm launching is unapologetically #kinky, #queer, and #polyromance. #MMromance #Booksky

Snippet from what I'm working on today for The Residency Boys: Damian & Jun

“Where are we going to find a human-sized birdcage?”

“I don’t know, but I know who to ask.” Jun grinned. He pulled out his phone and called Émeric. Someone, somewhere, in their kinky world, had to have one.

#writinglife #booksky I adore multilingual environments and find myself writing them frequently. When writing, I often keep the non-English words light, and give translations. How other authors are experimenting with this? Readers, thoughts? My WIP has #Mandarin, #Korean, #Japanese, and #French.
