Why is it harder to wait for people to read your book than it is to write it?
ARCs for 'Broken Blood Bonds' went out yesterday. The most ARC signups I've ever had.
Just thinking about it makes me want to lose my breakfast though. So nerve-wracking 🫣

Isn't she a beauty? I'm so excited!
Oh man, the book is finally done. Came down to the last minute with this one, but ARCs are ready to be sent out. On schedule. Woohoo!
When in doubt, always do another editing round. #booksky

When you finally finish formatting your manuscript only to realize the whole thing is a mix of curly quotes and straight quotes. 😭😭
Back to editing. Whyyyyyy me?

Last stretch now with this BBB manuscript. Draft 11 now!
Paper edits done, as messy as they are. Time to update the digital file and then it's off to formatting.
This one is really down to the wire. Usually I have way more time.
But it's almost there. Almost.
ARCs go out on Thursday.

More likely that the other people would pass out because I wouldn't STOP talking about my book.😂
Ask an author about their book.
Try it. I dare you #booksky 💟

'My hydrangeas are blooming!' I thought gleefully as I ran to snap a pic.✨
But then, when I got closer, saw that something is destroying the rest of my leaves 🥲
Exhibit A: Proof that the author does also get sunlight sometimes. Imagine that 😹

ARCs go out next week.
Last call for ARC readers who love queer paranormal romance in an urban setting.
Kinky, polyamorous vampires, anyone? 🧛🏻♀️

They really couldn't get rid of the Halloween decorations fast enough in the shops.
How is it already time for Mariah Carey to come out? 🙀
I had so many more things I wanted to achieve in 2025. Slow down!

Of all the surfaces my cat could choose to sleep on while I'm trying to design book graphics...
He stayed there for over an hour. 😹
Every day is bring your pet to work day in this house.

As a romance author, I rely so much on tells like heartbeats and breathing.
Nothing like writing a 104,000-word vampire romance to steal your crutch right from under you.
How will I know she's excited without her breath hitching or her heartbeat speeding up?
Time to get creative.

Sleepy kitty is tired from a day of jumping on my keyboard demanding cuddles and biting my fingers.
What a tough life. 😹

Today's editing mission: going after "like" in my WIP.
As much as I love a good simile, they quickly become a crutch. I know I'm guilty 🙈
Might as well polish the manuscript more while I wait for my fourth and final beta reader's feedback...
