The world gets to meet Gio, my plus-size MMC in fiber arts, TODAY! 💖🧵 I actually heard thicc men who sew are the new hockey players in romance, so definitely hop on this trend and read Design and Desire before slutty little sewing glasses become mainstream 😏😅💖 #booksky #indieauthor #fakedating

I honestly don’t know what to say, but as a baby indie author, I don’t have an abundance of people to celebrate this milestone, so I hope you don’t mind! Today, I hit 180,000 page reads in 2.5 months and nearly 275 GR ratings on my debut romance! Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel 💖😭

Getting messages from readers across the world that they couldn’t put the book down, it’s their favorite second chance romance, etc. has been incredibly surreal. I never thought this would happen to me (and my little romance that could), and I’m so, so grateful. Thank you for the kind words! 😭🥹❤️

What’s happening in the world(more specifically, the U.S) is pure evil and chaos. I’m not sure I even have the words to describe my rage and disgust. Doing my absolute best to try to find some solace within the things I love and enjoy. Don’t forget to take moments for yourself to decompress.

Today, someone told me that early readers were leaving my book reviews on Goodreads. And I know we’re not supposed to check. But as a debut indie with no team, I just wanted to glance this once. Cue the sobbing. I rarely talk about my book on here, but I just wanted to commemorate this for myself. 💙
