Let's talk about book girlfriends: Hannah wasn't going to let anything stand in the way of her life plans, and she thought Liam fit those plans. When his secrets came out, she was forced to end everything with him. But he believed they were Unfinished. #darkromance #mafiaromance #secondchance

She told him to leave after he revealed secrets about his family, and before he did, he said this. Unfinished is the first book in the Unrelenting series, a completed dark mafia romance series available on KU.

I'm trying to be more active here, and at least scrolling, but I feel like the conversation is missing in #romancelandia. It feels like an endless feed of promotion. As an author I get it. Still, where are the readers and authors talking about the books they're reading? What feeds are you all on?

My husband comes to me and says, "Would you like to watch a movie with me today?" And I said, "Sure." That was my first mistake. I either love the movies my Gen X husband recommends or I'm traumatized to the point that I wipe the movie from my memory like it never happened.

Took a shot of tequila with my dad tonight. We aren't big drinkers typically reserving drinks for holidays, but we both said wth and took a shot. Now I'm watching Sneakers with my husband. It's a good Saturday night.

I may or may not be sitting outside of an event where the attendees are walking in wearing designer clothes while I'm in my minivan listening to my revolution playlist as they walk past... While wearing a hoodie... Completely on accident. I might have gotten a few concerned expressions.

So I finished writing the fifth and final book in my series yesterday... None of you authors were gonna tell me how horrible it feels to live with these characters for four freaking years and then it's just over?

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

I've been wondering lately if we could do a giant dance party... You know turn on protest songs, definitely wear a favorite protest shirt, and a bunch of people singing and dancing. Rage and SOAD are girly pop and perfect to dance to. You know, before they go Footloose on us and ban dancing.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.

Or... Or... Maybe TikTok felt so much better at showing people what they want because Meta and Twitter are just that fucking awful. What kind of video app doesn't even have a pause button? Maybe the other apps are just as sub par and boring as their owners.

If you weren’t on Booktok, you don’t really get to have an opinion right now. Many marginalized creators were able to build community there and grow platforms. I now have a publishing imprint, publishing Indigenous books, BCUZ of Booktok. We are all struggling with how to rebuild on other apps.
