Deleting all my Meta accounts & X over a year ago was scary AF. Belonging to social media platforms is vital for authors, or so I thought. I forgot how fabulous real life is. I rarely look at my phone these days; I'm too busy having fun offline. Still, I pop on Bsky now and again-just to say hi! 🥰

Just found this photo of a young me in an old camera of mine. I'm the one with natural curly hair... 27 years ago.

My hotel room in Orlando is booked, and my ticket for the GCLS con has been purchased. Who else is going?

Less than one percent of people are legends. I'm not even trying to become semi-famous. What people think of my appearance doesn't matter. What's important is how true I am to myself and others. This is me, keeping it real. 🙃 Love Live Laugh

#MarketingMonday Out now and available in KU! Counterpoint is my latest sapphic romance. Rachel and Lisa have undeniable attraction from the get-go, but their lives are so very different. Is it possible they can make it work...? books2read.com/Counterpoint-

Book cover of Counterpoint by A. L. Brooks features an image of two young women in the ‘yin/yang’ position, their lips almost touching. Surrounding the book cover are themes/tropes from the book:

Family drama
Lesbian longing
Angsty
Slow burn
Some steamy stuff
Worst villain I ever wrote
Found family
Lesbian leads
Self-discovery
Grumpy old man

I painted another skateboard today! I'm not sure what Girl Scout will get this one. Thank you Girl Scouts for being committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and racial justice!

Lately, I've needed to get offline to experience nature more. Tomorrow, it's back to fighting the oligarchs. The courts are coming through for us, although the process is excruciatingly slow. Since Republicans have all the power, the battle is uphill, and still, I will not tire of the climb.

No, I was not drunk when I signed this painting. My brain twerks when I'm trying to write neatly. 🙃 (As you may have guessed, the painting is real, but the photo of my iPhone was pasted on by photoshopped, a primitive form of AI, but still AI.)

When I read or listen to a great sapphic book, I feel compelled to share it with others. Deathbound written by Heather Palmer and Narrated by Freya Mavor and Jessie Mei Li is well-written and full of action and romance. First book to toss on my Favorites List this year!

This is the last time riders and roadies will take the long ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles on their bicycles to raise money, not only for AIDS research but also to help support LGBT centers. I won't experience the Love Bubble during this last ride, but I am with you in spirit. ❤️

Just to be clear. I'm in KU and supporting other sapphic authors in KU. However, I did let my Amazon Prime membership expire. 🙃

Deleting X & my Meta accounts reminds me of when I quit drinking/sniffing cocaine. I had to learn how to do many things over again. I used to spend hours on FB daily. Now, I'll have to do most of my socializing in the real world. I'm so glad many of you are here to share about books and your life. ❤️

I created this digital art over a decade ago... never imagining we were all in danger of becoming slaves to billionaire kings.

I must go with a character I wrote in my novel Round Trip. I love Christina. She's sassy and adds flair to the story. She is also a valiant protector of both Tori and Virginia.

Yes, I have a dinosaur, named Sparky in my front yard who loves to read books. Sparky is a non-binary lesbian, and when not reading, they enjoy sunbathing in the immense California sunshine.

You know you're sapphic when a sight such as this makes you pause, ponder, and take several photos at different angles.

I'm about to leave FB to reside only on Bluesky, and I already feel a loss of personal connection. Show me what you ate for breakfast, tell me what you're up to, or share about the bitch that broke your heart... something. Let's bond. I just finished scooping up dog shit. How was your day?

So, this is Nordstroms! This broke-ass lesbian is used to buying clothes off the rack, but I never knew some of the sales at this store are cheaper than what I can get at Walmart!
