✨ Soft Spells & Spicier Scenes — Sofia's Cozy Writing Corner ✨

Hey cutie pies,

It’s been a minute since I curled up and wrote one of these, but I thought it might be fun to start sharing little updates, behind-the-scenes tidbits, and the things that make my writer brain sparkle. Think of this as our biweekly tea chat - all the sweetness, none of the caffeine jitters..

So let’s get into it…

☕ What I’m Writing:

Right now I’m working on something new and extra sweet… like, pastry display meets primal urges kind of sweet. You may recognize a certain cinnamon roll café owner and her monstrous suitor from the Fortune Records universe (if you know, you know).

I won’t spoil the surprise just yet, but let’s just say it’s got:

✨ cozy aprons

✨ stolen glances across café counters

✨ and maybe a little floury flirting 👀


A full snippet might pop up on Patreon soon - if you’re into coffee, teeth, and baked goods in unholy combinations… stay tuned.

📖 What I’m Reading:

I just finished Deep End by Ali Hazelwood and honestly? It’s the perfect mix of laugh-out-loud romcom and deliciously kinky tension. You can practically hear the whiplash of emotional whump.

Up next:

✨ Gaming with the Gargoyles by Kass O’Shire (because I cannot resist a magical monsterman).

✨ A secret beta read that’s already making me swoon (sorry, no spoilers yet!)


🎧 Current Writing Playlist:

✨ “Wildflower” by Billie Eilish

✨ “Leap Year” by Billie Marten

✨ “Silver Lining” by Laufey


Total “longing in a sunbeam” energy with a hint of melancholy. Just how I like it.

💬 Quick Catch-Up:

The Fortune Records Omegaverse is fully released now (!!), and I still get messages about Aspis's piercings or Sebastian's fake dating antics at least once a week. I'm obsessed with how much you all love these characters - and I promise there’s so much more where that came from.

Thanks for hanging out with me. I’ll be back soon with more cozy chaos, caffeinated characters, and steamy scene teases. If you’ve read something delicious lately or have a monster you’re crushing on, drop it in the comments - I’m always looking for recs.


🧁 Stay soft, stay spicy,

✨ Sun-Soaked Scenes & Secret Projects — Sofia's Cozy Writing Corner ✨

aka: the one where I explain omegaverse to book club

Hey snugglebugs,

We’re back for another tea chat - and let me tell you, this week has been equal parts steamy and silly. Between whispering sweet nothings to a silent alpha, reorganizing my entire writing brain into pastel perfection, and having to explain “knotting” to my book club (send help), I figured we were overdue for a cozy little check-in.

So let’s get into it…



🐇 What I’m Writing

If you've ever wished a monster romance felt a little more like Sunday morning in a flower shop... good news. I’m finally writing a story about a florist - and not just any florist, but a warm-hearted human with a knack for blooms and a tendency to attract the wrong kind of attention. Good thing she’s caught the eye of a certain misunderstood, silent alpha who may or may not have horns.

You might recognize the neighborhood if you've read my Fortune Records books. Let’s just say something new is blooming on the border between humans and monsters, and the scents coming out of the café next door are dangerously tempting.

No title drops yet. Just vibes. Wholesome. Carnal. Covered in petals.



🐺 Sneak Peek: Zodiac Society - Cancer

Coming up next in The Zodiac Society is our softest, most soulful creature yet: Cancer.

He’s a silver-haired werewolf with a gentle heart and a desire for connection... the kind that curls up around you when you're not looking and stays long after the full moon sets. Part Four is tender, emotional, and still deeply spicy - just the way you like it.

It drops soon on Patreon, so get ready to fall for the goodest boy.



📖 What I’m Reading

My book club is currently diving into The Book of Azrael and it’s giving me life. There's lore. There’s longing. There are moments.

Also considering finally falling headfirst into an Elsie Silver binge — if you’ve got a favorite to start with, hit me up in the comments.



🎧 Current Writing Playlist

This week’s vibe is all about sexy summer melancholy. Think slow-burning heat, late-night pining, and that moment in the car when the AC's on and your thighs are sticking to the seat but your heart’s already gone.

- False God – Taylor Swift
- Manchild – Sabrina Carpenter
- Wildflower – Billie Eilish (she’s still hanging around from last time)
- If I Were a Fish – for serotonin resets between edits

Got a song rec that screams “flirty girl obsessed with monsters”? Send it my way 💌



💬 Quick Catch-Up

I built myself a dreamy little Notion dashboard to track all my projects and I am obsessed. Everything’s pastel, tidy, and totally on-brand for a cozy chaos author. If you’re a planner girly or just like seeing behind the scenes of how I juggle 300,000 words at once… let me know, I might do a walkthrough soon.

Also: explaining the omegaverse to my IRL book club was absolutely unhinged. Yes, I said the word “nesting” out loud. No, I will not be taking questions.

Bonus tease: There may or may not be *other pen names* emerging from the shadows soon. Some will bring the romcom spice, others... a little more bite. 👀




Thanks for hanging out with me, cupcake. I’ll be back soon with more cinnamon roll monsters, pastel dashboards, and probably more chaos than I planned.

🧁 Stay soft, stay spicy,

Sofia
