about 1 month ago • 4 min read🍯🌺 The post-signing confessions I shouldn't share
Hey there, book lover, Remember how I mentioned I'd be out in the wild, meeting actual humans who read my books? Well, I DID IT! And somehow managed not to spill coffee on anyone important or call a reader by the wrong name (that I'm aware of). 📚 My FIRST BOOK SIGNING ADVENTURE 📚 This weekend, I ventured out of my writing cave for my very first book signing! It was equal parts terrifying and exhilarating—kind of like the first time you read a spicy book with parents in the vicinity. Yours...
about 2 months ago • 4 min read🍯🌺 I might actually pass out at my own signing (help?)
Hey there, trope-loving bookworm, Is it normal to have stress dreams about dropping an entire box of books on a fan's foot at a signing? Asking for a friend. (The friend is me. I'm the friend having stress dreams.) THIS WEEKEND IS THE BOOK SIGNING and I'm oscillating between "OMG I CAN'T WAIT" and "what if nobody shows up except my bestie, who is also my assistant, who will be forced to buy seventeen copies out of pity?" There's a non-zero chance I'll be stress-eating at 3 AM the night before...

Hey there, book lover, The age-old question that keeps me up at night (besides "did I turn off the coffee pot?"): Which fictional alpha male reigns supreme? The tattooed ex-SEAL with deadly skills and a protective streak? Or the hockey player with thighs that could crush watermelons and a smile that melts ice? Today, we settle this once and for all. Or at least pretend to, while I shamelessly promote my books. 🥊 BATTLE OF THE BOOK BOYFRIENDS: EX-SEAL VS. HOCKEY PLAYER 🏒 TROPE STRENGTHS:...
2 months ago • 5 min read🍯🌺 What your favorite trope reveals about your deepest desires.
Hey there, fellow connoisseur of fictional sleeping arrangements, So last night I found myself explaining to Mr. Mav why I was googling "small cabin floor plans" and "studio apartment bed configurations" at 11 PM. His response? "Are we moving? Because I just fixed the garage door." No, sweet summer child. I'm researching the sacred art of the "only one bed" trope, and apparently my search history now looks like I'm either house hunting or planning some very specific kidnapping scenario. 🛏️...
