I worked some more projects into my lineup this week. And I made progress on all of them. For a couple(not listed here) that meant finding where I left them and simply making notes on where I want to take them. But, it was still progress. #wipwednesday #alltheprojects #drafting #editing

Do you want to meet the queerest AAA baseball team(fictional only, sorry)? If your library doesn't currently carry the first book in my Deltry Ocelots series, you can tag it and let them know you're interested, so they'll be more likely to acquire a copy for you to borrow. #booksky #library

Or does he, Alfie? If you want to read a romance featuring a bisexual catcher in love with his best friend, but, oh no, not feelings, the best friend who is in love right back, and the barista who ends up seeing right through both of them, you can pick up Triple Play today! #booksky #tripleplay
Purple background. Triple Play repeats down the center of it. At the top is a sheet of paper. It has a snippet from the book: Alfie slipped a hand into the pocket of his cargo shorts and pulled out a marker. Rhys shot him a grin. "Always prepared. One thing I love about you."
Alfie rolled his eyes even as those words dug deep into his chest. Rhys never said them seriously. No matter how much Alfie wished that was the case.'
Below that is an image of the book cover of Triple Play. On one side is a white blond man in catcher's gear. On the other side is a dark brown skinned man in a baseball uniform, holding a bat over one shoulder.

Do you want to read my books? Did you know that they can be requested to be purchased by your library? You can read them at no cost, and I'll still get paid(and the more requests, the more copies that are potentially ordered). Which makes it a win for both of us! #books #library

Have you picked up Triple Play yet? If not, maybe these readers can help convince you to grab it. #booksky #baseballromance #whatreadersaresaying
Teal background. What readers are saying repeats down the length of it. In the center is a white sheet of paper. On top of that is an image of the cover of triple Play showing a blond catcher. Notes are taped on both sides of the book. One says: This story gives a much deeper look into Rhys' early life and how he used humor and baseball to hide his insecurities. The other one says: The characters are rich and have strong backstories. I alternately rooted for them and wanted to shake some sense into them.

I am a clever mystery writer...just usually not in the first draft. I need to figure out the bones of the story(even though I outline ahead of time) and who the actual culprit is(I've been wrong before). So I tend to leave a lot of notes like this throughout the draft. #booksky #notestoself
Green background. At the top is an image of a notes app with the note [lay out clues]. On the left side is a partial book with a gray cover that says at the top Cat in the Bakery 2 then Cover(and title) Coming Soon. At the top left you can see one corner of the cover for Muffin to Die For.

Are you a romance reader? Do you want more queer characters? How about romances where falling in love is great, but it doesn't fix everything, just a soft place to land when the rest of the world is a mess. I hope you'll accept my application to be your next favorite romance author! #booksky
Tan background with images of coral. At the top it says application to be your next fav romance author. Under that are an image of a person in glasses with short hair, and of a paperback of Rounding for Home with a cross-stitched bookmark that says rounding the bases in the colors of the trans pride flag. One text section says Hi, I'm Fallon Brown. i'm based in Northwestern PA. I write books that feature queer characters finding love that gives them a soft place to land. The other section says What to Expect from my books. multiple queer characters. found family. baseball. not having to earn love but deserving it anyway.
