Two for Holding is an M/M hockey romance for people who love hockey and romance but can't defend the reality of the NHL

🏒 First in a 4-book series
⛸️ Opposites attract
🏒 Dual POV 3rd person
⛸️ Drift compatible (but for hockey)
🏒 "Practice with me"

in romances featuring kids many readers dislike explicit scenes where the narration doesn't say door is locked

my toxic trait is not caring about the door--I care when one of the kids is small and the characters don't pause to check the baby monitor because that mattress squeak might be the baby

is anyone else essentially a cat on the hunt for the right napping spot except it's writing programs and utensils that allow you to focus for ten minutes put together?

So tomorrow's my birthday and I am working my way through the second round of edits on this book. And if you follow me on social media a really cool birthday gift would be to shoot me a question anywhere about this series!

the only things tagged "foryou" that are actually for me are those sped up videos of pastry in the oven

hemingway said "write drunk edit sober" but I choose to follow the cersei lannister method of "doesn't matter what part of which process, have a glass of red wine handy"

Ideally I don't want to have a legacy as a person/creator, just my books. Those I hope provide comfort, distraction, amusement, catharsis.
Happy Saturday once again, #PretendPanel! 😁

I'm very curious what answers I'm going to get for this one...

Saturday, June 14: What kind of legacy do you hope to leave behind as a writer/creator? What kind of mark do you hope to leave?

It does suck that "AI" now means both generative AI (boo hiss) and a whole basket of incredibly useful machine learning techniques.

There are two wolves within me. One wants to gain enough recognition that people read my books. The other one wants to continue being totally unknown online.
