Short Story Sunday

Lately, I haven’t really been reading much. I’ve been too busy writing, or doing other stuff to take the time to read. For a writer that’s not good. A writer needs to read just as much as they need to write. So I decided I’d spend the day reading.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know by now that I love short stories. A well written short is like magic; writing a believable love story on just a few pages is an art and I appreciate the ones who are good at it. The ones who manag...

#RainbowSnippets

Weekends means Rainbow Snippets-time here on the blog, since I’ve joined the  Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook. According to their description, “it’s a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction—a WIP or a finished work of even 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).”

I’ve been absent from the RainbowSnippets group for a while again. First, I was busy with the release of Cinnamon Eyes, then I went to Swe...

More love for Cinnamon Eyes

A month ago I posted a review roundup for Cinnamon Eyes. I’ve since gotten more fantastic reviews and I wanted to share them with you. The kind words and love for Cory and Asher makes me incredibly happy ❤

Jules at The Novel Approach gave it 4 out of 5 stars

“Cinnamon Eyes is full of emotion, and features two main characters whose love absolutely jumps off the page. Friends-to-lovers stories are my jam, so I’m picky about them, but this one was well-done and heart-warming.”

Christmas x2 in Nell Iris-world

I don’t know if you remember that I told you back in the end of July that my Christmas story Red Popcorn Strings and Gumball Rings was accepted to the Dreamspinner Press Advent Calendar? (still super excited about this!!)

But that’s not all the Christmas activity I’ve been up to. No, I’ve got another super fun project I want to tell you about involving another Christmas story.

Sunday reading

Happy Sunday to you my friends, and I hope everyone in Hurricane Irma’s way are safe and sound ❤

I thought I’d recommend some Sunday reading for you, if you need something to entertain yourself with today:

I’m in the author spotlight over at Gay Book Promotions and answer some interview questions. If you want to get to know me a little better, to find out why I love the M/M genre so much, what I’d do if I had a time machine, or what my favorite animal is, head on over and read the interview....

Release Blitz and #giveaway: Manic Pixie Dream Boy by K.A. Merikan

Today I welcome K.A. Merikan to the blog, who’s out on tour for their new release Manic Pixie Dream Boy. When I saw the title, I just had to participate. Isn’t it the most adorable title you’ve heard?? Everything about this book just screams to me, the title, the blurb, the description of the characters…and I just have to read it. But first, let’s make Kat and Agnes feel welcome and wish them happy release day!
