I write sapphic romance 🙂🌈📚
And I read heaps too! I'm always looking for recommendations 🙂
I have a tendency to talk about writing, not writing, food, and longing to be back in Wales.

The Novella!!! Out now! It’s more Oxford series!! And it’s less than a $1. You can’t even get a semi-decent pastry for that and this will last longer! @clareashton.bsky.social
(For Canadians, it’s 1.50, which i understand you cannot get a donut from Tim Hortons for that.)

Day 10 (FR this time): favorite #sapphfic romance with older MCs. Discovering Nicola is third in a series by @clareashton.bsky.social, and I loved how it pulled it all together. Yes I'm closer in age to them than their daughters, whose romances are the first two books, but this one got me. 🌈📚

Writing's been very slow recently but I'm hoping to finish a short story that follows the Oxford bunch this November...fingers crossed...

“The Tell Tale” by Clare Ashton is a sapphic historical mystery that is very atmospheric, a bit creepy, foreboding, and so well written. It also includes meaningful social commentary while the twists and turns make it a page turner too.
Such a good book and a steal at 99 cents!
