What a perfect way to kick off yesterday! 🏳️🌈❤️ Selling books alongside my mama (the best self-proclaimed "merch mom" ever) in MY city.
Thanks to all who came out to in Portland. Whether you bought a book or just stopped by to say hi and stock up on stickers, it was so great meeting you! 😘
P.S. I've got lots of ***rromance recs coming this month, but you can always start with my spicy holiday novellas. 🎄🌈 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒐𝒔 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒛 features a bi, short king, and 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 has a mid-size, pansexual girlie.
06/01/2024
This is the PERFECT reminder as we kick off Bingo. 🏳️🌈❤️ In fact, "M/F pairing" is one of the categories for this year's Bingo specifically for this reason.
Like the lovely (and soooo many other authors) I write predominantly ***rromance featuring hetero-presenting couples.
That doesn't make them any less q***r. 😘
Keep that mind as you head into Pride Month.

Do you love reading book dedications as much as I love writing them? 😍❤️
The dedication is always the LAST thing I write in each one of my books. 💋 Mostly because things change while I'm writing the book. The dedication is my way of summing up the overall message of the story!
Slide 1: 𝑯𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒕
Slide 2: 𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝑴𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑳𝒐𝒔 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒛
Slide 3: 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚
✨Do you read the dedication in every book?✨

I. FEEL. THIS. 🤗
As somebody who's writing a golden retriever MMC right now, I 100% agree. He's a stage four clinger, for sure. 🥰❤️ Bring on more hugs in romance!

I'm bringing this one back because the message still stands!! From the podcast's inception, Bo***es & Noobies has always strived to highlight indie, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ voices. 🏳️🌈💖
I read mostly indie authors before I became an indie author myself, but I never would've known about the romance community without . 😍 I won't sugarcoat it...
👉 It's HARD to be an indie author. 👈
While OBVIOUSLY, a large part of "succeeding" in the indie author game is selling books, there's so much more to it! Here are just a few 💯 FREE ways you can support indie authors you love.
Here's one more way to show your support... 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬 (𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬). ⬇️

Introducing my new series, "There's a Romance for That." 📚
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while now... romance recommendations inspired by Threads, requests, etc. 💙🧵 So, plan on seeing at least one of these per week!
This week's request comes from 🤗 and I'll be honest, it was harder than I thought it would be! As it turns out, there is a tremendous lack of sans sports. 🏈 That was news to me!!
If you've got more recommendation, please share them in the comments. 👇

I'm back, baby!! 🌺🩷 I know the podcast has been MIA for a couple of months during my book release and East Coast trip, but I'm back with some new updates and events.
As I continue to pursue my career, here's what you can expect from Bo***es & Noobies moving forward:
🌷 My monthly Tit Talk panel discussion on YouTube, which will later be uploaded as a podcast episode.
💐 The occasional author interview podcast episode. I'm going to play with the format of this one, so stay tuned...
🌼 My annual holiday special, - I look forward to this all year, so it's not going away anytime soon!
There might be the occasional random episode in between, but I'll be focusing a lot more on my writing for the time being! 😘 That being said, you can still find me here sharing memes, drama, and romance recs!!
Thanks for understanding!

I know I've been MIA from Bo***es content lately, but that's only because I've been traveling for the past three weeks AND prepping for my book release! 🥰❤️
This convo really piqued my interest, though...
The original question was something like, "Aside from infertility and/or a general dislike for children, why don't people enjoy the accidental pregnancy trope in romance novels?" 🤓
I think it's a conversation worth having when it comes to redefining what an HEA means, especially when are at risk in the U.S. and misogynistic laws are trying to set women back a hundred years.
✨️Thoughts?✨️

I'm a little late to this year's , but I wanted to share a couple book recs PLUS a couple of book hopefuls! 🩷🏳️⚧️
I read 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒇'𝒔 𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 for last year's Trans Rights Readathon and y'all, I have never met a TJ Alexander book I didn't love. I also read 𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑪𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 during the holidays, which delivered on all the geeky, Christmas vibes!
The other two are at the top of my reading list this week. 😘 Starting with 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆, 𝑳𝒊𝒆𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒓𝒚𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒅𝒔. I mean, hello! It's about podcasters in the Pacific Northwest?! 🌲🎧 How could I NOT read it?
Happy reading!
03/12/2024
Do I have a book signing event in Baltimore next month? Yes.
Does that mean I'm going to miss out on attending another book signing event in Charleston this month? Of course not. 🛫🎒
If you're also heading to this year's , let me know! 😘 I'd love to see you in Charleston.
