I am soooo close to finished with this dang #WIP, but I had to set it aside to make the pumpkin pie for tonight's feast. Maybe those last couple of scenes will write themselves?

(The tart was great.)

A pumpkin tart, topped with whipped cream, sits on a dessert plate with a yellow band, on a kitchen counter. There are a few crumbs on the plate, indicating the flaky quality of the pastry.

My balloon day was earlier this week. Celebrating today with writing and a latte before the wee one wakes.

A word processor window is displayed on a 21.5" desktop Mac screen. Also visible are various brightly colored app icons on the dock and a sliver of a nature-themed wallpaper. A mug half-filled with coffee and a wireless keyboard are visible in the foreground of the image, sitting on a black desk, along with various wires and knick-knacks.

I told you: the #FlirtingwiththeZodiac books always have spice. MAIN SQUEEZE is no exception.

Wyatt miiiiiiight be a bit of a yes-man. But only for Cam. (Actually, no, for everyone. He’s a bit of a doormat, really.)

One thing about the #FlirtingwiththeZodiac books is that there is always going to be spice. Always.

A lot of books that get hyped don’t land for some readers — and that’s okay. But let’s talk about LGBTQ+ books that DO live up to their hype: what popular queer book did you read and fall in love with?

Bird shifter aliens on a high-fantasy-esque backdrop? Don’t mind if I do. Book 6 of #FlirtingwiththeZodiac has that and more!

I really, really like this exchange between Cam and Wyatt. We’ll see if it survives revisions (and Editor’s red pen).

I want to know about underrated LGBTQ+ books! You know the ones — they don’t get the hype some other books do, but you wish more people knew about them. Give them a s/o so others can discover them!

MAIN SQUEEZE features plenty of cross-cultural exchanges between aliens and humans -- like this one, where Marty tries to explain vampires. It ... does not go well.

I’d apologize to my MC for putting him in this situation, but … I’m not sorry at all. Poor boy’s got it bad for a certain coyote shifter …

Things are not off to a good start for intrepid space explorer Marty. MAIN SQUEEZE opens with him finally regaining consciousness and immediately regretting it. Where the heck is he even?
