If you’re in a dark and punchy mood… Small town romantic suspense with a BDSM chaser. Check out my Beards & Bondage trilogy today! 😈 bookshop.org/p/books... 😈 e/print: amzn.to/48lbAfm 😈 audio: www.chirpbooks.com/a...

Haven, Sanctuary and Harbor by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Three romances with shirtless buff guys on the cover, standing in front of the mountains, in front of a farm and in front of the ocean. All three books have plus size black heroines and all three books feature BDSM elements.
Haven - he saves her from serial killers. Months later they reunite and do the nasty instead of going to therapy.
Sanctuary - She saves herself from a professional hit and ends up hidding at his farm. They do the nasty
Harbor is a polyam story with three black folks. Their cheating partners are killed and they try to find meaning in it all. The meaning involves a threesome on the beach.

There is no part of drafting I dread more than that first basic spell/grammar check on a 90K first draft is complete. My most common mistake: typing "me" instead of "my" giving my drafts a real piratey flair.

Self indulgent post: A friend told me she’d started How to Fail at Flirting. It’s been a long time since I’d thought about that book, so I listened to a few chapters of the audiobook on my drive home tonight. WHO WROTE THIS?? It’s a really great feeling to read your own work and think it’s good 😊

I’m up at 3:46am bc I planned to read a few pages of DEAR AARON by Mariana Zapata before bed and then read the whole thing. 🥰An epistolary 1st half, brick x brick build of the friends to lovers structure, the care between MCs, the delicious & impatient yearning. It excites me to sit down & write.

Now reading Church Girl by Naima Simone. I hope this is the start of a series because the tattooed, “bad girl” cousin Tamara deserves her own book! Pub. date is Nov. 26. #booksky #romancelandia

The cover of Church Girl by Naima Simone shows a man and woman with dark brown skin hugging each other.

Spent last night talking to a group of mostly women college students studying in stem fields about setting boundaries, seeking positive relationships, and reading romance novels. Did I unabashedly recommend reading @kennedyryan.bsky.social and @susannahnix.bsky.social ? Of course I did.
