I spent over a year of my life writing this collaborative craft book with eleven other (fantastic! talented! good-looking!) writers.
"Sometimes a story emerges fully formed in your mind, and sometimes it’s an onion, requiring several ‘peels’ to get to the real, eye-watering heart of the matter."

NOC was really fun! I hadn't realised the preview we saw wasn't leading to much of a wider release, absolutely a shame.

I LOVE this book!!! Reimaginings of Austen characters aren't really my thing but I gave this one a chance because a friend recommended it and I'm SO GLAD I did. It's so sexy and full of yearning, and Lindz's take on Charlotte is perfect.

Today is Jane Austen's 250th birthday! If you wish there'd been queer characters in the originals, check out my Austentatious series, beginning with THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET.
I murdered Mr Collins off in the first line so that Charlotte Lucas can have a 2nd chance at happiness. (thread)

Thus begins my sapphic romance between now-widowed & hopelessly adrift Charlotte and grown-up, confident scientist Mary Bennet 💘 it's tender, it's got floral-based flirtations, and a really really sturdy pianoforte (*ahem*)

Thank you! Although to be fair, @rjbarker.bsky.social it does have a couple of late stage sex scenes (but they're more poetic than graphic)
