There's a very festive party going on at @ylva-publishing.bsky.social HQ right now because the licenses of two of my books have been sold to Kakao Books from Spain! Sí!
Among the titles they'll translate will be Breaking Character and then The Brutal Truth. #wlw #lesbianbooks

Ever wondered what Bess and Summer sound like in German? Wonder no more! Breaking Character will be out as an audiobook in German from August 28 as "Aus der Rolle gefallen". The awesome (very human!) narrator is Genoveva Mayer. @ylva-publishing.bsky.social rbmediaglobal.com/audiobook/97...

I'm reeling from winning two Goldies for my little romantic comedy lesfic.
When I won the Ann Bannon, Sam let out a strangled whooping noise, answering the question, how do you get an ice queen excited? Make their partner happy. 😍
Thank you all! Thanks Ylva!

Get ready for sparks to fly! ✨
