Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Ann Bannon GCLS Awards. I'm over the moon to learn I'm a finalist. And look at the exemplary company I'm with. Wow! The winners are named on August 8 at the GCLS conference in Florida. @ylva-publishing.bsky.social

To everyone who took a punt on a book about a grey-hatted sixty-five-year-old ex-spy sapphic protagonist, thank you. I love you! Ottilie's fabulous adventures with Monique Carson in Number Six have been recognised by being a finalist at the 2026 Goldie Awards (Romantic Blend). I am truly humbled.

I found out that When She Flies was doing really well in pre-sales. I told Sam this and she replied it's clearly because of her marketing quotes. A reminder of her quotes... 👀 PS this book is OUT TODAY at @ylva-publishing.bsky.social at an earlybird price. www.ylva-publishing.com/product/when...

Lee Winter @leewinteroz.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Cover reveal! Artist Sienna is mistaken for an intern at a luxury goods emporium & meets her past: Jasmine, a former curator who shredded her art years ago. Sienna, now 34, decides to prove herself to an icy boss who doesn’t even remember her. Office tension, banter, slow-burn sparks. 📖 Early Jan

Cover of When She Flies by Lee Winter shows a sexy ice queen in a red dress surely about to break a young artist’s heart. Send flowers

Lee Winter @leewinteroz.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

It is finished! When She Flies has survived editing and is now ready for @ylva-publishing.bsky.social to turn it into a book. (Out early next year.) Celebrating shall now commence! Pictured is my CEO, Jasmine's, New York office. She's a fiercely artistic soul when she's not ice queening...

An office with a purple velvet chair surrounded by pop culture art and leafy plants.

I'm reeling from winning two Goldies for my little romantic comedy lesfic. When I won the Ann Bannon, Sam let out a strangled whooping noise, answering the question, how do you get an ice queen excited? Make their partner happy. 😍 Thank you all! Thanks Ylva! Book link: mybook.to/VengeancePla...
