When Lara reached out for a website for her writing, editorial offerings, and teaching, I was excited to compile it all together in one place! Then when she told me she wanted it to be purple and with cherries, I was equally excited to make her personality shine through her brand. 🍒 #AuthorWebsite

“Work requirements” without changes to a system that makes it impossible for many disabled people to work in the first place is just eugenics. If you want more disabled people to be able to work, offer remote work, make public transportation more accessible, and actually hire disabled employees.

I’m so excited to announce that IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD will be part of a three-book standalone romance series, featuring the women in Skylar’s chronic pain support group—and the men who are down bad for them! The next two books will be out in 2027!

Series reveal: Introducing the MEET CHRONIC series
A Spoonie romance standalone series
By Sabina Nordqvist
The graphic shows the cover of IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD reading as ‘out now’, book 1 in the series. It then shows Book 2(unnamed) coming out early 2027, and book 3 coming out Fall 2027.

A graphic that shows three women, with only the first woman showing her face, representing Skylar. The second picture shows the back of a burgundy bob, the third shows the back of a woman with long raven hair. The text reads: featuring the women in skylar’s chronic pain support group…and the men who are down bad for them.
Three best friends.

Three best friends.
Three Spoonie couples.
Three love stories with happily-ever-afters
