Romance novels are important because their lesson is to not settle for less than the amazing partner you deserve. No one is perfect, but when your partner dismisses you or your concerns, it's a sign to move on.
Ditch the undeserving man and pick up a book instead 😗

I knew Saf and Aayan had to have a great meet-cute and while I loved my original meet cute, after rounds of editing that one became their second-run in. When you read their meet-cute, you will look at grocery stores a little different … thats all I'm gonna say on that.

I know Amazon is convenient but TRULY try your best to avoid Amazon as both an author and a reader. Change won't happen if we keep supporting Amazon 💫

Just a silly lil thought, but it's true I wrote kissing scenes and while my characters won't kill unless married, I was always so ~modest~ in my writing.

Ppl can't read my book(s) if they don't know I exist so I have put myself out there & I am going to be a guest speaker at not one but TWO virtual conferences. For both, the topic will be Love Beyond the Stereotypes: Writing Authentic Muslim Romance.

Lots of questions about Kobo, #kobowritinglife and how, when and why we are using AI. Putting "AI" in the same sentence as "authors", "books" or "publishers" makes a lot of alarm bells go off, and for good reason. 1/

Is your book on the LibGen list? Let us know.
Meta considered licensing books to train AI—but opted instead to pirate LibGen, a database that currently contains more than 7.5 million books and 81 million research papers, Alex Reisner writes.
