Excited to share the cover of #StillMarriedActually, coming from Bramble June 29, 2027! 9yrs ago, Katie Tan got married. To a stranger. On a drunken dare in Las Vegas. Now, her mistake has come back to haunt her, but maybe this is life’s way of giving her a second chance at a happily ever after.

I've had a sneak preview and this is gorgeous! Cinnamon-roll male lead with competence-porn handyman vibes. You should definitely pre-order.

I read and loved How to Find a Guy in Five Weddings by @cynthiatimoti.bsky.social

Cartoon-style cover of a clearly romance book, How to Find a Guy in Five Weddings by Cynthia Timoti. It has a pale blue background, a stylish woman with long black hair wearing a swanky red dress, her arms are folded and she's looking over her shoulder at a taller brown-haired man in a suit holding a glass of champagne. There are four other guys in the background sitting on the kind of white chairs you might find at an outdoor wedding.

Gotta love when you stumble across a good review of your book. ❤️🥲

Mostly text - A Hexcellent Chance to Fall in Love
Ann Rose. Berkley, $19 trade paper (400p) ISBN 978-0-593815-97-7
Rose (The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean) mixes spooky and sweet in this queer Halloween romance. Visiting The Dead of Night, a Halloween supply store, is a beloved autumnal tradition in small-town Clover Creek, but the store has a secret: it’s real magic that makes it appear and disappear each Halloween season and its proprietor is cursed to vanish along with it. Pepper has been the unlucky Keeper of the Store for the past five years, forced to live a half-life knowing that everyone in town will forget her the instant the store closes. She’s made her peace with this predicament—until she meets and falls for Christina, a new schoolteacher who’s overwhelmed with the task of operating the town’s famous haunted house. Literally ghosting her new love interest is the last thing Pepper wants, but can she find a way to break the curse before it’s too late? Despite the dark magic involved, Rose keeps things light and cozy. Pepper and Christina are well shaded and easy to root for, and the town comes to life via Rose’s bright and inviting prose. The magic itself sometimes feels a bit arbitrary, but it keeps the plot moving and adds real stakes to the budding romance. Fans of Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop should check this out. (Sept.)

Reminder: Write that thing. Pluck it outta your soul with rusty pliers. Hit the keyboard like it owes you money. Write whenever, wherever you can. Tell your story. Make the words dance. Whatever you want—a novel, a short story, an agent, a movie—it all starts with the writing.
