Silver lining of recovering from shoulder surgery right now is I literally must rest a lot, which I think I would need mentally right now anyway...down side of course is dealing with a lot of physical pain and limitations and you know, it being almost impossible to convince myself to get out of bed.

🍩 Donut Summer cover reveal dayyy 🍩

DS is a YA queer summer romance about two 16-year-olds trying to save their small-town Oregon donut shop from a corporate takeover and falling in looooove. It’s out July 29th from Quill Tree! Illustrator is an artist named Max; design by Catherine Lee. 🍩💕

I can't make myself start Onyx Storm because I've been anticipating it for so long and once I start it I know I'm going to devour it, and then it'll be done, and I desperately need one lovely thing I'm looking forward to right now (I mean I obviously could use the escape right now, too...). Ugh. 🙈😂😬

Hi! I'm Dakota. I'm a writer and photographer. I love stories, and whimsy, and autumn. I'm bi, and neurodivegent. Right now I'm super excited for Onyx Storm tomorrow! I just read And They Were Neighbors which was a super sweet, heartwarming sapphic novel with cozy small-town vibes. I loved it.
