Saw some AI bro claiming the anti-ai hate has lessened, and dude obviously doesn’t follow any artists or authors.

“You don’t understand, Mina, what it’s like for me in those years before I find you. The last few years in Hell I’ve been more myself. More grounded. I make better decisions, am more level headed, and am happier when I know where you are.” #ParanormalRomance #RomanceBooks #SpicyRomance

A close up of the cover art by Meowlayn of Lucifer and Mina gazing into one another's eyes. She straddles him as he holds her up, his black wings spread and the stars behind them. Cartoon art (drawn by me) of Lucifer and Mina wiggle around next to an eReader with TLD all loaded and ready to go. Text reads, “He temporarily unalives her so he can profess his love and prove their connection. But they first met a thousand years ago.”

Went to the world premiere of The Ring accompanied by a live orchestra last night in Denver. It was such a great experience. I honestly don’t know if Paradise Ours would exist without this movie. And to see it with live music? Beyond cool. @coloradosymphony.bsky.social

I finished How To Help a Hungry Werewolf earlier this week, and it is easily one of my favorite books. And now I’m reading Dealing with a Desperate Demon. 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

Do we do author transparency posts on bluesky? I sold four copies of The Little Death in September. One eBook through amazon, and three paperback copies to my local indie bookstore. That bookstore is how I've sold most copies of my books this year. Indie bookstores rock!

Every single book I read in September was a five star read. World's Okayest Oracle (Reluctantly) Seeks Demon by Olivia Dade I Punched an Alien & Now We're in Couple's Therapy by Kimberly Lemming How To Help a Hungry Werewolf by Charlotte Stein Lycans & Lattes by Ali K. Mulford & K. Elle Morrison

Olivia Dade and Rebekah Weatherspoon?!?! In the same book?

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Well, I completely devoured Lycans & Lattes in two days. It was really nice to dive head first into a book, and this one was such a delight. So many Fall vibes!

She cupped his cheek in her hand, and he longed to see her dark brown skin against his green. “You also put yourself at risk because you were too busy watching me.” #ParanormalRomance #EroticRomance #FriendsWithBenes #HesTheBrat #KoboPlus Cover art by Meowlayn

I’ve been trying to switch my focus this week and just do the things I want to do. That’s meant more reading and getting chores done. And only writing the project my heart is longing for.

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

“Who are you?” she asked, trying not to get distracted by their strong nose and jaw, their plush, kissable lips. Fuck.

I knew Amamemnon was going to eventually do this to me. I knew it. I should be drafting the next book in my newest series, but instead I’m writing his novella.

She stole his cowboy hat and put it on her own head. He smiled like he already knew what she was about to say. “One night, Oscar. That’s all I am promising.” #SecondChanceRomance #ParanormalRomance

What if I take the day off and read in bed instead?

“That’s cheating. You’re using superpowers,” Mina said. She couldn’t struggle one bit, but she wasn’t uncomfortable either. #ParanormalRomance #DarkRomance #EroticRomance

“You’re the one who is always preaching to me about sharing,” Bellz said, lowering them both to their feet. “So let me have a little longer.” #EroticRomance #DarkRomance #ParanormalRomance

She melted against him, her breathing finally evening out. “Are you sticking around for the aftercare?” “Is that the excuse we’re using? It’s just aftercare?” Alastor asked, brushing his thumb along her shoulder. #ParanormalRomance #EroticRomance #Romance #FriendsToLovers #FriendsWithBenefits

The full cover of Lilith and Alastor Fight a War Lilith sits on Alastor's lap while they stare at one another, both with amused expressions. Her hand grips the hair at the back of his head while he holds her gently. A bookcase sits behind them. They sit in an office with a view of Hell outside the window, a desk, and potted plants, so clearly Alastor's office. Text reads, “Is that the excuse we’re using? It’s just aftercare?”

Amamemnon finally got his way. I wrote the first twelve sentences of his novella. The words hit like a lightning bolt, and I had to jot them down in my notes app right before bed.

My plan for this afternoon is to get through my second pass of dev edits for chapter 1 of Paradise Ours book 6, and then maybe, maybe I'll let myself write a little dessert project that slapped me in the face last night.

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Alastor awoke to hushed whispers. His entire body was enveloped in warmth, softness, and Lilith’s pine and floral scent. It reminded him of his forest home, at least a millennia of lifetimes ago. Turning to his side, he buried his nose against the pillow. #ParanormalRomance #HesTheBrat

I don’t believe there’s a difference between art and p🌽rn. I do believe there’s a difference between art and AI slop.

I've started formatting Paradise Ours book 5! It's another side novella. Looking at a release date in early July of next year.

He surprised her with a kiss to the arch of her foot. “You ran away from me with these feet.” He massaged first one then the other as he spoke. “And I wanted to chase you down so badly, but you evaded me. How did you do that? #ParanormalRomance #ApocalypticHorsemen #EnemiesToLovers #Romance

I’ve started working out again. Yay! And I like to read while I’m on the bike. I wasn’t going to let myself check my progress until I’d finished a chapter and went for an extra 12 minutes. It was a good chapter.

He slipped between her legs and held them open with his thighs. Then he stopped moving. He didn’t speak. He barely breathed. #Romance #EroticRomance #ParanormalRomance #DarkRomance #DemonRomance #SecondChance

“Luci? You’ve given him a nickname?” Beelzebub snarled at her, and before she could process that he had moved, his hands were wrapped around her arms in a death grip. Mina’s bottom lip trembled. Despite her trepidation, she met his gaze. #ParanormalRomance #Romance Art by @debanneart.bsky.social

A black and white art piece of Beelzebub, Lucifer, Mina, Sindy, Alastor, and Lilith in a naked cuddle by @debanne_art. Bellz, Luci, and Mina spoon. You can catch a glimpse of Luci’s tail and one of Bellz’ horns. Mina and Lilith are holding hands while Lilith’s head rests on Alastor’s chest. Sindy is settled between his legs, her head on Mina’s hip.

I got copy edits back on Friday. I was going to start on them this morning, but I got very little sleep last night. It might be a nap Monday instead.

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

We lost power last night. I immediately checked that we still had running water. Then I asked my husband if it was strangely warm outside. My brain then spent the next hour and ten minutes going through more plausible reasons the power might be out—like war.

Sometimes when you’re chained to your boring desk job and listening to way too many paranormal podcasts about people almost dying and seeing a mystical gold light, you stop and think, “Why doesn’t anyone ever see hellfire?”

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

The thing about reading a really great book is that sense of excitement I get at the end of the day to finally crawl into bed and sink into a different word. But these days, I’ve been struggling to stay awake.

Susan Beth Cole @susanbethcole.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Tried taking some photos of my dog with my book. It didn’t go super well, but my dog is still cute.

Luci held up an outfit that she had never seen before. It consisted of a black corset over a lacy black dress with a cute sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves, #ParanormalRomance #DarkRomance #EroticRomance

There’s a voter ID ballot measure on the Colorado ballot? Fuck all the way off with that. Vote No on Amendment 84! Voter ID laws are a thinly veiled poll taxes, which are illegal.

“You asleep?” Luci murmured into Mina’s hair. “I must be. There’s no way this is real.” “Not real, huh?” “Ouch! Did you just pinch me?” Mina sat up so she could shoot Luci an indignant look. #ParanormalRomance #EroticRomance #DarkRomance

All these AI CEOs screaming publicly that they need to slow down—they do know that they can talk to each other, right? Establishing some industry standards shouldn’t be new to people in tech.

Okay, so they kidnap her twice while fully aware that she’s the reason all of God’s plan for the apocalypse are crumbling?? #ParanormalRomance #DarkRomance #EnemiesToLovers www.susanbethcole.com/books/the-ca...

“We did this together. I was so happily lost in you that I lost my balance.” “And I was so happily lost in you that I let you fall.” Tabitha gulped. “Let me fall, Gabriel. I want to fall for you.” #PNR #EnemiesToLovers #EroticRomance #RomanceBooks

He slipped between her legs and held them open with his thighs. Then he stopped moving. He didn’t speak. He barely breathed. “Oscar?” she whispered. “What are you doing?” His breathing hitched at the use of his human name. “I’m sorry, darlin’. I was admiring the view.” Her cheeks grew hot. #PNR
