Jae is the author of twenty-six award-winning romances between women. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.

She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.

When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of sapphic books, indulges her ice cream and office supply addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.

I only saw your question now, but the timing is good, because I'm just about to start writing my historical romance "Shaken to the Core," which is set in 1906, during the great earthquake and fires in San Francisco. One of the three main characters will be Lucy Hamilton Sharpe, the granddaughter of Luke and Nora. (less)

That doesn’t seem right. But tackling big issues such as police brutality and systemic racism in a romance novel, without writing a depressing book, is pretty challenging, and I haven’t figured out a way to do it yet. But I’m sure I’ll get back to Aiden, Dawn, Kade and Del at one point! (less)

Comforting the other character after a nightmare (Micro-Trope #11)

Comforting the other character after a nightmare

It’s time for another Micro-Trope category. This one features sapphic books in which the protagonist is seen comforting the other character after a nightmare.

Can you believe that there are only three more posts left for the Sapphic Book Bingo? But stay tuned, there will be a Sapphic Book Bingo in 2026 too, and I’m already looking forward to sharing the new categories with you!

“Dr. Regina Novak was all the stereotypes about doctors with God complexes rolled into one five-foot-ten package—an admittedly gorgeous package, but that was beside the point.”
Jae, Bachelorette Number Twelve

“A burgundy red lace bra dangled from Scully's mouth.

"Um," Anja said, "either I've had a bit too much eggnog, or a cat's been through your unmentionables.”
Jae, A Purrfect Gift

“Faith pressed a package of oats into her hands. “Here. You can make the crumble while I prepare the berry mix. Unless you’re afraid to get your hands dirty. I use coconut oil instead of melted butter, and you have to really rub it into the oats, the coconut sugar, and the other dry ingredients.”

Tala smirked. “No problem. I’m really good at rubbing until everything is nice and slippery.”
Jae, Enemies by Nature

“You’re naked!” Faith squeaked.

Tala quickly shushed her. “We don’t want my siblings wondering why you’re panicking at the sight of your naked mate.”

“I’m not panicking.”

“And I’m not naked. I’m wearing socks.” Tala stripped them off. “Now I’m naked.”
Jae, Enemies by Nature

“A soft chitter escaped Tala between kisses, and Faith smiled against her lips. “God, that’s so sexy. Do that again.”
“Make me,” Tala rasped.”
Jae, Shifting Nature
