I fear I've been quite clumsy with admin things, but at least I'm small enough there isn't that many people that I'm bothering haha. It's a learning curve I suppose

I need to reconfigure the way I've set up my newsletter and Substack. Namely put the newsletter on a different provider, so if people actually want to be emailed about new blog posts on Substack they can be, while others can stick with just newsletters

Happy one month of release to ADORE 🩷 I have a newsletter + blog post coming up that I had wanted to have ready by now, but it'll take a couple days more

A mock cover of sorts for my sapphic debut novella ADORE! It's a bit old (from late 2025) and unfinished, but may as well post it #bookart #characterart

Magazine-style illustration featuring an android character holding a hand up to her left cheek: one eye is brown, the other is pink. She is wearing a collar with a heart alongside other jewellery. The words "ADORE" and "a novella" are in gold text behind.

Post-book release is such a strange time... after all that private work it's out in the world, and I get to (fingers crossed) see some readers trickling in, and all I can do is market a bit. It's time to continue on with my next book I suppose!

An early snippet from my upcoming android/mechanic sapphic sci-fi romance book! #sapphicbooks #booksnippet 📚💙

Honestly I didn't expect any preorders (beyond from people I know) considering there weren't any reviews up at the time and there's no sample text until release, but I'm so so thankful!

Reese @reeselavine.com · 17/07/2026

The 8 day wait before my book releases is a bit agonizing... I've been busy finalizing it but it's all set to go now, and I actually got a few preorders, so I'm anticipating the launch!

New blog post! It's mostly me reflecting on modern day fanfic, particularly from a sapphic lens: reeselavine.substack.com/p/on-fanfict...

On Fanfiction (From A Lesbian Perspective)

I’ve seen a lot of discussion of fanfiction over the past year or so.

Excited for the release though... I hope someone out there enjoys the story, too!

Reese @reeselavine.com · 29/06/2026

I got my final edit back and it is both very exciting as the story is reaching its polished form, and embarrassing to see my mistakes/repetitive wording aha

Hi! I'm Reese, a lesbian indie author who is preparing to release my debut novella, ADORE, on July 15. It's a sapphic android mechanic/android sci-fi romance, and I'm trying to pick up a few more ARC Readers! Form: forms.gle/oMqqqRTFWvHu... #arcreaders #sapphicbooks #sapphicromance #wlw 📚💙

I'll try a better formatted post here on bluesky but otherwise I think I've done the best I can on social media, seeing as my accounts have no following!

Reese @reeselavine.com · 14/06/2026

Truly it's thanks to r/wlwbooks for letting random people advertise. It gave me the lion's share of my applicants; wish I could post on the other popular lesbian book sub but alas, it requires active participation for anyone doing self-promo and I'm not very talkative on reddit 😅

I've only been marketing for a week and it's already tiring...! My seeking ARC posts are stifled by anything algorithmic, which is most feeds these days. I'm very happy I got 20 ARC applicants somehow, though

My author website is officially up and connected to my domain! I also heard back about my ISBN after months, exciting ✨

Hello! I'm currently seeking adult ARC Readers for my debut sapphic sci-fi romance novella, ADORE. It's about an android mechanic and a human-like android she is employed to fix. 🔧 For more details, you can check out the form: forms.gle/BVAeRhdm6QCK... #arcreaderswanted #indieauthor #wlw

I'm unsure how much I'll actually make use of this account, but since my first novella is entering its final phase before release, I suppose it's a good time to start being mildly active on social media. If anyone stumbles onto this one... hello!
