Remembering the time I was editing one of our spicier Historical titles on a plane and a member of the cabin crew tapped me on the shoulder, offered me a glass of prosecco and WINKED KNOWINGLY! I love people

In case you’re looking for an elegant category-length historical with Black characters, I’ve just finished this and am about to go read everything Parker J. Cole ever wrote (including the prequels to this, I am so excited!). #Romancelandia

Cover for Marriage Bargain with the Comte by Parker J. Cole. A warm light brown-skinned woman in a gorgeous purple gown and elegant tignon sits. Beside her is a deeper brown-skinned man in cloth of gold and a periwig, looking at her with intent.

My next release, Royal Fiancée Required, is set in the fictional country of Halrovia, so of course what did I do? I designed a flag, and a postcard for said country. Because I should be writing my next book but I'm procrastinating instead! 😂 Pre order here: www.kalianthony.com/books #romancelandia

Picture of a castle on a lake with the Alps in the background. Words Welcome to Halrovia written on the picture with a flag underneath which is in yellow and royal blue with three white stars.

Picture of the Alps in the background with a field of grass and yellow flowers. Overlaid is a book cover of Royal Fiancée Required by Kali Anthony. There is a blonde hair female wearing a Tiara in an ice blue dress in an embrace with a dark head man wearing a suit.

I (36M pediatric oncologist) ran into Val (36M, ER doc) on my first day back to work at the medical center. Awkward AF since we can’t be in the same room together without sparks flying, but I don't want to deal with my feelings for my former BFF, or his adorable 7y.o. son. AITA? geni.us/jU1XeE
