In my WIP, Taylor isn't a full-fledged MC, but she's the only one really hiding a secret. She sustained a couple of injuries in her youth. She'll be open about screwing up her knee playing soccer, but she refuses to talk about her hip injury.

Kendra is generally a little bit meek but fiercely protective of her submissives -- makes a man scream in pain (not in the fun way) for touching Madison.
Madison will square up when needed, but her purple hair, glasses, and non-threatening stature keep her from being scary.

Just finished A Soft Place To Land by @kelseykranz.bsky.social today (on Kindle) and immediately ordered the paperback to add to my physical sapphic collection. Thank you for this beautiful and sexy reminder that lesbian love always has been and always will be stronger than hate.
🧡🤍🩷 Loved it!

Madison: being unwanted by the people she loves
Taylor: losing her ability to walk

Here is my most damning indictment of romance as a genre: we are currently living in a time when stalkers, rapists, and murderers are romance MMCs, but I doubt I could name more than 10 books in the whole history of the genre where an FMC has an abortion.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

In my WIP, Kendra tells Madison her millennial nostalgia music is Kelly Clarkson, P!nk, and Rihanna with a secret side of Fall Out Boy.
Madison mostly listens to NPR podcasts.

My current WIP opens with two women finding out they're dating the same mediocre man. After a night of revenge sex (with each other), they grow to become great friends.

A Soft Place to Land takes place in the 1950s. At one point, Virginia and Elaine witness a police raid on a gay bar in the city. They both know there will be harsh consequences if anyone finds out they're together, but this is the first time they're forced to consider what that means. #queerprompts
