It’s winter holiday time, which means #macarons in my kitchen. These are pistachio, made from the fine pistachio flour I bought earlier this year for a different cookie recipe.

First pick up from my CSA today. 3 quarts of absolutely gorgeous strawberries 🍓🍓🍓 These berries are perfectly ripe and they smell amazing! I almost ate a whole quart in the car on my way home from the farm!

My new short story, Collision & Coincidence, got its first review out there in the wild!

A screen shot of an Amazon review of COLLISION & COINCIDENCE by Cameron Garriepy. Verified purchaser WendyLou gives it five stars and says, “steamy and wanting more.
What a fun read. I was looking for something carefree to read and was alerted that Ms. Garriepy has a new book. Perfect I thought. Now I'm all caught up in the characters and I can't wait for the sequel.”

Teen boys don’t always say, “I love you,” but sometimes they leave you a note and an empty wrapper to let you know they were home between school and lacrosse practice, but you missed them because you were out with the dog, and that’s basically the same thing ❤️

I’d like to state for the record that I am taking down my fancy artificial Christmas tree full of vintage and niche glass ornaments against my will. My family is apparently freaked out by it in February 🙄🎄

A decorated and lit artificial Christmas tree with a red skirt and a Grumpy Octopus plushie where the star would be. It’s decorated with antique and vintage ornaments, kitschy ornaments, and ornaments I’ve bought while traveling–including a collection of glass Mickey Ears from Disney, a glass macaron, a glass TARDIS, a glass pickle (IYKYK), my mom and maternal grandmother’s vintage ornaments, it’s crowded and sparkling… A ceramic gingerbread house and a copy of The Night Before Christmas from the 1950s are tucked under the tree. The tree stands next to a piano, and a poster of Le Chat Noir hangs on the wall to its right.

Apparently Lucy Parker’s “aloof, arrogant, vain, and emotionally closed-off, but secretly gentle and generous when he falls relentlessly and unexpectedly in love” hero-type is, in fact, a whole catnip for me. The voice-acting was an absolute delight, to boot. #Romancelandia

The image is a mint green background with a stylized strip of pink film zig-zagging across the center with the title in white. A woman’s silhouette holding an umbrella is seated on top of the film strip. A man’s silhouette is standing upside down on the underside of the film strip, offset in the zig-zag.

I haven’t played #FridayKiss since I left the bird app! 💙📚🌶️📚 #WritingCommunity #Romancelandia

An excerpt from Cameron Garriepy’s forthcoming romance, posted for #FridayKiss:

Sean was waiting for her by his locker after Woodside Singers' practice. He sat on the floor, hunched over his guitar, playing Cady's favorite Sarah McLachlan song. She picked up the melody as she approached.
Sean didn't look up. "You are singing with me tonight."
She couldn't. Could she?
"I can hear you trying to talk yourself out of it." Sean was looking up at her now, his fingers still idly strumming the chord progression. His half-smile flirted with his mouth, and his hair was pushed behind his ears. Cady's lungs squeezed.
"If you want me to, I will," she said, more bravely than she felt.

When her 15 minutes of fame brings the boy who broke her heart back into her life, author Cady Lewis has to face the past she’s worked hard to leave behind her. Sean Wade got everything he ever wanted, except the woman he loved, and he’s not losing his second chance. #2025Pit #A #CR #R #WF

A white flower against a teal background. The text reads:

Save Me
Second Chance
CAMERON D. GARRIEPY
A steamy, contemporary, second-chance romance for fans of Olivia Dade, Emily Henry, and Rosie Danan.

Centered on a teal background, an image of a plus-size, white brunette woman in a short, sparkly red dress embracing a tall, handsome man dressed in black pants and a black button down shirt. The following tropes and elements surround the image with curly arrows drawn towards the image:

plus-size heroine
deep third-person POV
dual POV
she's got a rescue pug
strong friendships
found family
past and present timelines

Text against a teal background:

Excerpt
Sean. Wade. Was. In. Her. Bed.
Disturbed by Cady turning over, Guillermo farted. Cady's already jangled nerves gave up, and she giggled. Sean's eyes fluttered open and he gifted her with one of his rare, true smiles.
"Hey, Cady."
She would never tire of hearing him say those two words, pathetic though it might be. She coughed into her pillow. "What are you doing here?"
"Experiencing the glory of pug farts, it would seem." Guillermo stretched and rolled against Sean's leg under the comforter from her couch. Sean propped himself up on one elbow. "You fell asleep about four minutes into that terrible movie." He laughed silently. "I was working on a new song, so I kept doing that for a while. Then Guillermo scratched at the door, so I took him out to pee on the mailbox on the corner. When we came back iyou were kinda half awake, so I scooped you up and tucked you in."
He carried her? Granted, he was no longer the skinny, wiry seventeen-year-old boy he'd been, but she was not a delicate woman men swung up into their arms, never mind deadlifted from the sofa. What must he have thought, hefting her off the couch and depositing her in her bed?
He lowered himself down, tucking his hands under the pillow. "You asked me to stay, so I did. I hope that's okay."
She'd asked him to stay?
You did, her heart whispered, and he stayed. "It's okay."
"Do you want me to go? The couch is fine"
"No, if you're okay here, stay."
"Go back to sleep, Cady. I'll see you in the morning." He stretched across the small chasm between them and pressed his lips to hers.
Her last thought before sleep reclaimed her was that, after all these years, his kiss felt like home.

Reposted with alt text. Because yes.

From @talbertswan
CAUCACITY is Donald Trump disparaging Michelle Obama for years, ridiculing her looks, calling her nasty, and white folks expecting her to attend his inaugural.
It's JD Vance disrespecting Kamala Harris and calling her "trash," and white folks expecting her to give him a tour of the VP residence.
It's disgusting to see people excuse white men for disrespecting Black women and then disparage Black women for not bowing down and kissing the rings of the white men who disrespected them.
