How about some Sapphics in Space ?!? It's time for a Hidden Gem on Jae's Sapphic Book Bingo. "Rescue Her Heart" made the list of 15! 🥳🥳🥳 I really should write another book in this series. They are so much fun!

We revel in Death
Like two suns
To eclipse each other
In an infernal kiss

This short story needs 500 words cut.

Lets do this! Knife and easy.

The challenge of being an author on social media is making your potential readers aware of your books without being too annoying about it.

I can’t say I always succeed at the latter 😂

Congrats!! 🎉🥳
My book is finally out!

I love these angsty, pining sapphics so much I can't contain it. I can't believe so many others feel the same way 💕🌈

reminder to subscribe to indie author newsletters, as just today a massively popular indie author had their insta and threads banned by some automation and the appeal process is glitching. email newsletters are a much safer way to keep up with your faves!
