Wait, you’re telling me that I decided to shoot my shot and sponsor an episode of Fated Mates, and the episode happens to be one that THE ALI HAZELWOOD is on? 😭😭😭 Her books are what brought me to the romance genre, and without reading her books I never would have started writing 🥹🥹🥹

I keep forgetting to post over here, but I’m still around! Still writing stories for hopeful romantics and doing library things ❤️

Dawn Banks @dawnbankswriter.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

Lolololol I made a chart in a spreadsheet about a book about spreadsheets then put the chart on the computer screen on the cover of the book so it looks like a spreadsheet is open on the computer. I am either a genius or a nerd. 🤓 Please buy my book. 📖 The Spreadsheet Situation

Dawn Banks @dawnbankswriter.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

The paperback of The Spreadsheet Situation won’t be out online until September 26, but if you live in the geographical anomaly that is JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE (iykyk), you can get it now at Johnson’s Literary Depot! Support indie booksellers! #booksky #romancelandia

Dawn Banks @dawnbankswriter.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Now is a great time to ask your library to purchase a copy of The Spreadsheet Situation on their Libby account! Libraries can also preorder the paperback on Ingram!

Dawn Banks @dawnbankswriter.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

I'm just saying that I'm two ebook sales away from 40 for release week, which would mean that I'd sell 2x as many copies of The Spreadsheet Situation in the first week as I thought I would in the whole year. If you're in the mood for a rom-com about a librarian and a professor...you know what to do.

Dawn Banks @dawnbankswriter.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

The Spreadsheet Situation is still 50% off at most US ebook vendors and Kobo and Kindle in Canada! Thanks to everyone who has bought it this week! You’ve made these last few days amazing, and I really appreciate you taking a chance on a new indie author. ❤️❤️❤️ #booksky #romancelandia #romancebooks

3 days until The Spreadsheet Situation is out in the world! I’m equal parts excited and terrified that it’s almost publication day. Working with people who make you laugh is the best, and that’s what Evie and Andrew find in each other. #booksky #romancelandia

Writing small town romance while sitting in my small town local coffee shop is proving to be a vast well of inspiration. Like the older gentleman who sat down and groaned, “Lordy mercy” just inadvertently wrote a line of dialogue for my MMC’s physical therapy patient 😆😇 #booksky #romancelandia

One thing about Andrew and Evie that I loved writing was their early flirtations/friend conversations before either knew the other one was interested. This is one of those scenes! #books #romancebooks #romancenovels #romanceauthor #thespreadsheetsituation

Just hit send on my ARC notifications, and excuse me while I take some deep breaths. Good old anxiety brain is trying to tell me all the things that can go wrong. But I know folks will love Evie and Andrew and their quirky little love story. ❤️❤️❤️ #booksky #romancebooks #romancelandia
