So many things are grim and cold right now. But if you'd like to admire something soft and happy and warm for a moment, please see my heartachingly gorgeous cover for SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE (out 11/25)?

AMZ: go.oliviadade.com/SCRamz

(Cover artist info & other links below!)
The illustrated cover of SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE by Olivia Dade (subtitle: "A Harlot's Bay Novel") is a warm peachy pink, with golden light coming from an overhead light fixture. The picture is set in a bakery, with racks of golden-brown pastries and loaves of broad. In the foreground, a pretty fat woman with long brown hair is sitting on a table, with a handsome fat man with ruddy hair and a beard standing between her legs. She has a hand tugging on his apron, and he has a hand on her thigh. They are nearly kissing and gazing at one another with desire and adoration.

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.
A cropped screenshot from a Canadian government website with the prompt "What's your occupation?" The answer "Writer" has been provided, generating the red text error response "Please enter a valid occupation."

Look, I was told I should have a hobby, & now I have 6:
1) diamond painting
2) browsing diamond paintings
3) buying diamond paintings
4) organizing diamond paintings
5) trying & failing to make room for all my diamond paintings
6) snickering at YouTube comments by ppl unaware of DP's alternate usage
A comment reading: "I got my sister into dp, and we talk about it all the time. It has really bonded us and are always sharing photos."

Maybe their life expectancy calculation is wrong and at some point I will do crafts/read books/use notebooks 14 hours a day, have they considered that???

I'm so delighted that this book is out in the world! Mindy is one of my favorite writers, bar none, and depicts complex relationships among women with such tenderness and care and rueful humor. Also, you know I love cinnamon roll heroes, and this story's offering is especially sweet. 😍

I have just learned the acronym STABLE (Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy) in reference to craft supplies, and it is so rude of the English language to call me out like that

Currently picking up Zomromcom again (had wanted to read it in spooky season but life) and again am reminded that I like @oliviawrites.bsky.social's books because they let me have my wish fulfillment of being kinda messy, eating weird stuff and annoying someone hot until they fall in love with me.

I am delighted to finally announce that my debut novel, THE AROOSI ARRANGEMENT, is coming October 14, 2025

This is the Iranian-Canadian, fake-dating romance of my heart, and I can't wait for you all to meet Sharzad and Sam 💜

arezouamin.com/books/the-ar...
A book cover featuring a man and a woman dressed nicely, set against the Toronto skyline, with text above them reading "The Aroosi Arrangement" and "Arezou Amin" The back of a book featuring the toronto skyline and the following summary: Sharzad Daryai looks like she’s got it all, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. She’s 32 years old, her dream job turning stale, and she’s desperate for a change. And then she finds out her brother is getting married. Her younger brother. Sharzad’s never been particularly lucky in love, but she doesn’t want to face another round of pitying aunties and uncles asking when it’s going to be her turn. When her siblings insist she needs to bring a date to the wedding, or else, she needs a solution. And fast. Sam Kazemi is a golden boy whose shine is tarnished. Sure, he’s got the fancy degree from an American school, but his girlfriend just dumped him and his dream project is in trouble. With a head for numbers, Sam has no flair for the creative, and no desire to admit he’s bitten off more than he can chew. After a pair of heated chance encounters, Sharzad and Sam strike a bargain: She’ll help him find a creative solution to his business woes if he agrees to pose as her boyfriend at all wedding-related events. The lines between work and play, real and fake begin to blur, but romantically-reluctant Sharzad and overly-confident Sam maintain that after the wedding, they’ll go their separate ways. After the wedding, things will go back to normal, with no feelings in the way. Right? Right?
