Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
Pride Month in the US is especially important this year as LGBTQ+ people face so much danger. I wanted to find a way to give back to my community. You can help by buying a copy of my ebook or donating to an LGBTQ+ charity of your choice. 🩷

books2read.com/secretsofely...
White text on a rainbow background that reads, “To celebrate Pride Month, the ‘Secrets of Elyron’ ebook will be on sale for only $0.99 USD for the entire month of June!” White text on a rainbow background that reads, “But that’s not all... All profits from ebook sales in the month of June will be donated to The Trevor Project, a nonprofit supporting LGBTQ+ youth.” White text on a rainbow background that reads, “Lastly… I will be donating 2 copies of the paperback (releases june 3rd) to my local library. It is important that we make queer books accessible to everyone in our communities, and that we support our local libraries.” White text on a rainbow background that reads, “Pride is a time for celebration… But it is also a time for resistance, building community, and planning action. This year, pride in the united states is more important than ever. It is up to all of us to keep the lgbtq+ rights movement alive, and that starts with supporting causes like the trevor project and organizations like libraries that keep trans and queer folks safe.”

I got Yellow. It fits me perfectly. This was a really interesting quiz. It made me realize that I actually prefer emotional stories over romantic ones. Thanks for sharing!
Text on a tan screen. It reads, “You are a yellow reader. Red Reader 25%, Blue Reader 50%, Yellow Reader 70%, Orange Reader 50%, Green Reader 10%, Purple Reader 40%.” An image depicts two yellow figures embracing on a park bench. One of them holds a book. Text on a tan background reads, “SO....WHAT IS A YELLOW READER? The Yellow Reader is emotionally vibrant and driven by passion, drawn to books that stir their heart and evoke intense feelings. They seek narratives that illuminate the complexities of relationships, emotional struggles, and the profound depths of human connection. For Yellow Readers, reading is a visceral experience - an opportunity to feel deeply, empathize wholly, and journey through life's emotional extremes. They choose books not just to be entertained, but to experience catharsis, leaving each story feeling emotionally enriched, moved, and intimately connected to humanity.” Text on a yellow background reads, “THE KIND OF BOOKS YOU READ ARE... You read with your heart first. You're deeply moved by stories that explore intense emotions, complex relationships, and transformative human experiences. You seek out books that allow you to feel deeply, empathize passionately, and experience life's emotional extremes.” Text on a tan background reads, “YOUR FICTION PREFERENCES • Powerful, emotionally rich dramas and character-driven narratives • Epic romances and poignant tragedies • Stories bursting with vivid, raw, authentic emotions • Narratives that explore deep psychological and emotional truths” The image also displays the covers of, “The Nightingale” by Kristin Hannah and, “Beach Read,” by Emily Henry.

Black text on a white background that says, “Libraries are under attack. What? "On Friday, March 14th, Trump signed an executive order that calls for the elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the nation's only federal agency for America's libraries." - QUOTE FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION How? "By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, this EO is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer." - QUOTE FROM THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION” Black text on a white background that says, “How will this affect LIBRARIES? Libraries provide the following essential services to their communities that might be lost due to these funding cuts: • Early literacy development and grade-level reading programs • Summer reading programs for kids • High-speed internet access • Employment assistance for job seekers • Braille and talking books for people with visual impairments • Homework and research resources for students and faculty • Veterans' telehealth spaces equipped with technology and staff support • STEM programs, simulation equipment and training for workforce development • Small business support for budding entrepreneurs - LIST PROVIDED BY THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION” Black text on a white background that says, “What can AUTHORS do to help? By modifying the call script provided at 5calls.org, I created an email script for US authors to contact their state representatives. I feel it will be especially effective if authors use their official author/business email addresses to send these messages. You can also modify this script to add your own personal message. Non-authors are welcome to adapt this script to send their own emails as well. We need to let our government know that we will NOT stand for this, and that we as a community want our libraries protected. You can find the script on the next slide.” Black text on a white background that says, “EMAIL Script "Dear [Represenative Name, I'm reaching out to each of my representatives to urge them to work to protect federal funding for the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Libraries and museums are vital parts of our communities and provide so many essential services. Libraries help communities in the following ways: • Early literacy development and grade-level reading programs • Summer reading programs for kids • High-speed internet access • Employment assistance for job seekers • Braille and talking books for people with visual impairments • Homework and research resources for students and faculty • Veterans' telehealth spaces equipped with technology and staff support • STEM programs, simulation equipment and training for workforce development • Small business support for budding entrepreneurs Libraries are vital to the survival of many communities and often serve as one of the last free, accessible spaces for children and families. As an author and someone who cares deeply about their community, I ask you to please show up for our libraries and urge the White House to hold back its attack on their funding.
