Here's a snippet from The Forgotten Princess, my entry for #BookBazaar26. Enjoy this #TBBPrompt preview!

Text snippet that reads:

As if reading her mind, Orn spoke. “Maybe these Librarians are monsters in disguise. I mean, luring pretty princesses and oafish, stinky knights into their lair.” He chuckled, but as Laela turned on him he gulped.

“Pretty?” Damn that blush on her face.

“I didn’t mean that,” Orn stammered.

“You didn’t?” Laela, part glad, part not, blinked.

“I am just going to shut up now.”

One of my favourite and most underrated movies is STOLEN KISSES by François Truffaut, starring Jean-Pierre Léaud. It is a one-of-a-kind comedy with romance elements, without the usual formula. For more underrated movies check out my Letterboxd list: letterboxd.com/romance_arti...

From my novel The Romance Express: "A relationship can be madness sometimes. It can uncover your biggest insecurities — and those of your partner. It has the power to make you hate yourself and the world and everyone in it." "So is it worth it?" "Yes. Of course it is."

Not even a 1$ a book. Not that artists have ever been paid well (except celebrities) but this further cements how much the devaluing of arts and humanities in favor of STEM is destroying our culture. If you think society can survive without culture… I hope you have some good apocalypse skills.

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago. They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.

Two scribes depicted in an ancient Assyrian low relief, using styluses to write on clay tablets.

#Authors I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please don’t give up! Even genre-defining writers got rejected. Frank Herbert’s Dune got rejected 23 times.

Re: DUNE by Frank Herbert

We keep being stuck with exactly the same problem with Frank Herbert and that is Book I. Nobody can seem to get through the first 100 pages without being confused and irritated.
I wish this were not the case, and I do indeed thank you for giving me the chance to consider it again.
