I haven’t been on here much because social media in the hellscape that is late stage capitalism veering into fascism is — SURPRISE! — terrible for my mental health, but I wanted to share that my books are open for bookish social media marketing strategy consults, and copy/line editing.

I’ve been laughing about Silver Elite discourse and theories about trad pub experimenting with “authorless campaigns” to see if they can use AI to create “original” IP. LOLOL. Please. Your publicist or editor has definitely already sat through a “lunch & learn” on the ethics of AI in publishing.

This is a question for #knitsky: I am about 2 weeks into a bout of De Quervain tenosynovitis (read as: thumb to wrist tendon injury). I was knitting socks on 2.25mm dpns and now it’s too small to knit comfortably. Is a project on say, 4.0mm or 6.5mm needles doable or should I just rest entirely?

All I’m saying is that I’ve never read a bad Rebekah Weatherspoon, but I have frequently found myself screaming and buying copies for friends and family because I’m tired of having to snoop through their stuff to get the copies they borrowed from me back…

In 2025, I would like to work with more romance authors on editing and marketing strategies. If you’re looking for help, email me at Brittney (at) litandknits (dot) com to set up a time to chat. I work with all budgets at this stage and I just want to give back to #romancelandia.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

I asked for cozy Black romance recommendations on Threads, and I had over 70 author names dropped into my mentions over the last 24 hours. At least half of those I had never read before! I’m working on a list of those new-to-me authors, but in the meantime, here are ones I have read and enjoyed!

Because she's not on Bluesky, I wanted to share Mia Sosa's gorgeous new cover and upcoming book! The pub date is next June, and I can't wait to read the story. ♥♥♥ Here's where to pre-order: bit.ly/4f4G8Gg
The illustrated cover of Mia Sosa's WHEN JAVI DUMPED MARI with a city skyline in the background and a man on one knee offering a woman a bouquet of flowers, which she is rejecting with her palm out, fending him off.

We’re taking the baby (oops, my bad, The Big Girl Who Is Five Years Old And A Grownup) to the movie theater for the first time to see Trolls: Band Together. May she become obsessed with this soundtrack so that I can slip some *NSYNC and BSB into her Spotify playlist…

Hi, Bluesky! #bvm I'm a Black debut author with a sapphic romance novel coming out September 5th! You can add The Fall That Saved Us to your Goodreads shelves: www.goodreads.com/book/show/1937720… I'm still in awe of the illustration by @vetyyr.bsky.social
An illustrated book cover featuring two Black characters posed like Michelangelo's painting The Creation of Adam. At the top of the cover, a horned succubus with wings reaches down for a haloed woman with braids. The angelic woman is dressed in white and holds a dagger in her right hand.Nephilim—humans with direct lines to the angels—are natural demon hunters. All nephilim, it seems, except Cassiel. The weakest among a family touched by archangels, she’s abandoned her angelic inheritance for a mundane life as a bookseller. But even in the noise of the city, she remains burdened by the strict tenets of her old life. And recently, something far more sinister haunts her.
Avitue is a succubus out for revenge—though she has little say in the matter. As part of the greater demons’ plan to ruin Cassiel’s family for slaying a duke of Hell, Avitue’s been sent to claim a particular nephilim soul, one she’s told will pose little challenge. It should be an easy seduction. Quick, fatal. But Avitue is surprised to find her own pain reflected in Cassiel, a nephilim deemed fallen by her own family’s standards.
By choosing trust, they reveal the lies that bind them, but as unwilling participants in an eternal war, trusting each other is the most dangerous thing they can do.A text-based image with a red painted background and white letters. Content notes: While Cassiel's story is focused on healing, heavier themes of trauma and shame are explored in conversations and flashbacks to give context to her journey. Please consider the major content notes: cutting scars, self-harm ideation, discussion of an eating disorder, family emotional abuse, and a manipulative mother. This book contains sexual content and is only intended for adults.A text graphic on top of an illustration of Avitue, a horned succubus wearing a red dress. The text is a blurb from Rien Gray, author of the Fatal Fidelity series. It reads: "The Fall That Saved Us weaves a heated sapphic romance with a cruel war of attrition between demons and the divine, only to remind us that the shared thread between it all is raw and vulnerable humanity. With an eye for the infinite complexities of healing from abuse, Tamara Jerée goes fangs out at religious trauma and bites deliciously deep."

It might be time for #romancelandia to think about the ethics of writing books where the MC is VERY obviously based on a real person whom the author is using as a sexy puppet. Would YOU want a stranger writing a book about you & telling the world? (this thought brought to you by hockey booktok)
