Christmas preorders! Both of these are short story, friends-to-lovers holiday romances, coming out in November and December respectively:

A Christmas Seduction [8k words, F/F, age gap, explicit]
books2read.com/b/4NO9BN

Sweet Christmas [4.5k words, M/M, not explicit at all]
books2read.com/b/brRW1z
Book cover ("A Christmas Seduction" by Yolande Kleinn): a handwritten font declares the title over a closeup photo of a woman's bare neck, her hand toying with a thin necklace. Below the title is a cheerful border of holly with red berries. Book cover ("Sweet Christmas" by Yolande Kleinn): an abstract pattern of glowing snow drifts behind a pink heart over a reddish pink gradient background. Title and author name are written in a swoopy handwritten semi-cursive font.

one of my favorite genres of comedy is talking very seriously to or about babies like they're just extremely small adults, and no one is doing it right now like Danny Lavery

"where in this early modern Calabrian village do you see a bike?" laid me out

www.thechatner.com/p/everything...
His love of bikes has also produced the first wrinkle in our book-reading sessions. If a particular book has a bike in it (Boats on the Bay, Baby Go Japan, Everywhere Babies) he will let me get three or four pages in before grabbing the text from me and turning to the correct page, pointing triumphantly at the bike in question, and announcing “Bike” over and over, at which point he is no longer interested in having the rest of the book read to him and would like me to put it away. It has even lead to, I am sorry to say, dubious claims. Only last night I was reading Strega Nona to him and he began to leaf through the pages, chanting “Bike” to himself with perfect earnestness. BABY [Leafing]: Bike. Bike. Bike. SELF: Where is there a bike in Strega Nona? BABY [Still confident]: Bike. SELF: Where in this early modern Calabrian village did you see a bike? Show me the bike you’re thinking of. Where is the evidence? BABY [Producing zero evidence of a bike, while admitting to precisely nothing] Bike.

I'm using November as a push to write rough drafts for a mountain of short stories I've been meaning to tackle, and it's going REALLY WELL, but I'm now in that zone where I can't tell if any of the words I'm writing are GOOD words. Y'know? (I'm sure many of them are—rough drafts are just weird, lol)

Continuing the hyperfixation, here's a small purse I made for my niece! I'm disproportionately proud of having planned ahead to wrangle a functional button-hole, which was not in the pattern.
Also I intended the whole purse to be pink, but I lost yarn-chicken. Hopefully the purple looks intentional.
Photo of a crocheted purse done in a moss stitch pattern. Most of the purse is pink, but there is dark purple yarn along the edge of the flap and through the entire strap. The purple looks very intentional and you would not guess at a glance that it's there because the bright pink yarn ran out too soon.

Since today is National Fountain Pen Day, I thought I would do a fun fountain pen & book giveaway:

I'm giving away 3 copies of my sapphic romance novel "Paper Love," which is set in a stationery store, plus 3 fountain pens.

Enter the drawing by filling out this form:
airtable.com/appr5l3oRiRC...
Shown is a paperback copy of Paper Love by Jae, two women, one holding an iPad, the other holding a fountain pen. Next to the book are three fountain pens (blue, copper, and yellow).

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production.

If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

We've now played this one too, and loved it even more than Strange Horticulture. Enthusiastically recommend.
