🌈🍂 I've written two sapphic romances set this time of year. The Goodmans - small town, friends to lovers, family secrets, second chances, laughter and tears. Finding Jessica Lambert - celebrity age-gap romance in London. Maybe my most romantic book? Now 0.99 (UK, EU, US) or equivalent each 🙂 🌈📚

Well-deserved awards. Congratulations to Clare Ashton and if you haven't picked this one up, get it now! Absolutely worth your time. I love it so bloody much. You don't have to read it as part of the Oxford Romance series, it stands on its own, but I think you'll get a bit extra out of it if you do.

Late bloomers sapphic romance 🌈📚 They're flawed, have made mistakes, they're in their 50s and look their age, I didn’t care if they were sexy to everyone, only if they were sexy to each other (and oh my...) And I've never had so much fun writing a book! 🙂 Kindle for 0.99 for the next week ❤️

“The Tell Tale” by Clare Ashton is one of my favorite reads. It’s a sapphic historical mystery that is foreboding, very atmospheric, a bit creepy, and so well written. Laced with meaningful social commentary while the twists and turns make it a page turner too. 🌈📚

🌈❄️♥️ I love Oxford at Christmas, so I spent some time there in a sapphic romance novella 🙂 Here are some of the elements of when frosty Olivia, whose very warm heart wants to marry Kate, takes a chance at Christmas to propose 💕 Follows the characters from the Oxford Romance series 🌈💥

Asking Kate tropes: Christmas proposal. Festive Oxford. Plans awry. Kids and family. Established couple.

The Novella!!! Out now! It’s more Oxford series!! And it’s less than a $1. You can’t even get a semi-decent pastry for that and this will last longer! @clareashton.bsky.social (For Canadians, it’s 1.50, which i understand you cannot get a donut from Tim Hortons for that.)

Day 10 (FR this time): favorite #sapphfic romance with older MCs. Discovering Nicola is third in a series by @clareashton.bsky.social, and I loved how it pulled it all together. Yes I'm closer in age to them than their daughters, whose romances are the first two books, but this one got me. 🌈📚
