My published stack is getting to the point where it's difficult to hold it for a selfie. 😂 Finally resorted to putting them on the ground and then squeezing myself in. But look at this stack! 🥲 I'm really proud of myself as a woman, as a Latina, and as an anxiety-ridden writer 😅

Janine Amesta @janineamesta.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I made my own cover concept, when I first drafted shrunkation in 2022. I liked the juxtaposition between a couple on the beach but there's also a giant bird. How else would I push the idea of hot adult version of a marriage-in-trouble Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? My amazing artist made it even better

Janine Amesta @janineamesta.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

ART REVEAL ❤️ My accidentally shrunk characters make out (& maybe more) while riding an iguana😂 Preorder campaign coming soon, even for digital copies. See my pinned post for Shrunkation👀 Also, plan on doing itty-bitty PR packages for a few of my readers🤏 Special thx to my artist Illustrated Rose

Happy release day to @janineamesta.bsky.social Love Feud is a second chance romance with a fake hating scheme, a youngest daughter ready to step into the spotlight, and the man who’s down bad for her.

Header says: Condoms are sexy when you have to run for them.

Cover of Love Feud by JANINE AMESTA

Text reads:
"Hold on for a minute." Ryland quickly made his way to his cousin's side of the apartment, trying not to look like he was in a mad sprint. He opened Seth's medicine cabinet and angels must have sung from heaven when a glossy box of condoms greeted him. He returned to her, slightly out of breath but holding up a strip. "ll pay him back. So you're okay with this then?" To him, the signs were obvious, but he wanted to be sure.
