Read Around the Rainbow | Regency Romance

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time!!! If you’re new around here, we’re a bunch of queer romance authors who get together on the last Friday of every month and blog on the same topic. This month we’ll be chatting about historical romance, more specifically Regency.

I don’t write historical stories, and I rarely read them.

If you could see time passing in a blog post, you’d have noticed the several-minute pause between the last sentence and this one. I simply don’t know how to continu...

Guest Post | Squirrel in Hiding by Holly Day

Hiya!  

I’m here as Holly Day today! A couple of days ago, Squirrel in Hiding was released   

Have you read any of my squirrel stories?? This is the third one, and I have to say, writing squirrels is a lot of fun, so I don’t think this will be the last story   

In this world, the predatory shifters eat the non-predatory. Every wolf enjoys a good squirrel hunt, right? Yeah, they do. If Farris gets hold of Raaz, he doesn’t intend to eat him, though. Finding one’s mate is a miracle, and Farris do...

Read Around the Rainbow | Dark Romance

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time! On the last Friday of every month, we’re a group of authors who blog about the same topic, and this month we’re taking a deep dive into dark romance, so… That’s it for me, folks! See you next month LOL  

Nah, let’s see. Dark romance. I’m confused by what dark romance even is. I’ve googled and googled and tried to understand what makes a dark romance a dark romance. I see authors all over marketing books as dark that I think sound like any other book, and then ...

Release Day | Poke the Bear

It’s release day!!! Surprise! I know I haven’t posted about this here. I had a cover reveal on Holly’s blog and forgot that maybe I should’ve posted it here too.  

Poke the Bear is a box set of bear shifter stories written by Ofelia Gränd and Holly Day, so all by me, just some are written for specific days while others simply are bear shifter stories.  

This release wasn’t planned, which is why I’m a little disorganized (let’s use that as an excuse at least). Many months ago, my publisher aske...

Guest Post | Easy, Kitten by Holly Day

Hello, everyone! I’m here as Holly today A few days ago Easy, Kitten was released, so I thought I’d tell you a little about it.  

We’ll spend most of the autumn in Myrfolk and the community within the walls. The first story in the Within the Walls series is Vampire Food, and I strongly suggest you read it first. Then Easy, Kitten follows, and in October The Jaguar’s Knife will be out, and a story that is yet to be named in the November.   

We’re only breaking for some squirrels next month, the...

Read Around the Rainbow | What’s on My TBR?

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time! I can’t believe how fast the months swish by. This post comes up on my to-do way more often than once a month (it doesn’t, it’s just a feeling). If you’ve missed the Read Around the Rainbow posts before, we’re a group of authors who get together and write a blog post on the same topic on the last Friday of every month. July’s topic is What’s on My TBR?

I don’t have a TBR.

Easy, don’t choke on your coffee

This is arguable, okay? I have hundreds, probably thous...

Guest Post | His Alien by Holly Day

Hiya!  

I’m here as Holly today because a few days ago, His Alien was released Everyone likes aliens, right?   

It’s not often I read alien stories, though when I do, I often go on a binge and read a lot of them. Hard sci-fi isn’t my thing, but alien romance can be a lot of fun. This is one of those stories. It’s not heavy on the technical stuff, but it has aliens!   

Do you remember There Will Be Aliens? It was the third story I published as Holly, so a looong time ago, but that’s the world w...
