I recently had the joy of supporting @jadesaul with a book promotion, and watching their story reach new readers was truly magical. As a reader, reviewer & visibility advocate, I believe powerful stories shouldn’t stay hidden.
Authors, what part of promotion feels overwhelming?

Got a blog or newsletter for romance authors? I'd be honored to contribute an article, FAQ, or giveaway on writing spicy scenes.

I'm releasing a thesaurus series for romance writers.

What do you say?

Book review 📖✏️ Dragon Cursed by Elise Kova
This was my first book by the author & I enjoyed it a lot. I found it hard to put down because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen next! I really appreciated the short chapters because of that. #writingcommunity #bookreview #amwriting #bookchallenge

Concordat. It doesn't say "laser gun", but this is a retrofuturism sci-fi! Of course it's a laser gun!

Meet who are technically the villains of the series. Members of a terrorist group out to end the Concordat. Not all their complaints are unjustified, but their methods...

The maiden voyage of the Honorbound was less than two hours away and time was running out. She should have been on the ship twenty four hours ago but she'd waited at the meeting point for hours only for her contact to never show. One last message, risky under the circumstances, but necessary. She felt on edge as she waited for a return message - constantly checking for a report on the news of an arrest that might explain why he hadn't contacted her. When the doorbell rang out, she found herself drawing her gun - expecting it to be space dock security. When the doorbell wasn't followed by an announcement of authority, she moved warily to the door to call up the camera screen - though only one way. The man outside's face was hidden by a hat worn low over his eyes - his head was facing downwards to avoid the camera. Pressing a button on the screen, she established a voice contact through the camera, but kept her own face hidden. "What do you want?" She demanded through the speaker. "Independance." With a sigh of relief she hit the button to open the door, and snaked out a hand to drag the other into the room. "Where have you been??" She demanded angrily. "Trying to get settled aboard ship." "You're supposed to be getting me aboard the cursed ship." "That would have been easier before you blew up the space dock."

Hello, my name is Orpheus Hartshorn!
Today I’m happy to announce my first book of (hopefully) many, Sunkissed: A Lost In Mythos Story. Sunkissed follows an amnesic Icarus after death. Along the way, discovering more about himself and the gods than he could’ve imagined.

The Co-op

swipe for synopsis ➡️

I loved the premise of this book & am so glad I finally got around to reading it! Give me some forced proximity & a marriage of convenience & I’m SOLD.

Just like that, another lap around the sun. ☀️ The past year had both ups & downs, as is life. Here’s to another year of finding the joy in the little things & continuing to become the best version of myself. 🤍
