Somehow this month, I took a weird, obsessive turn into genealogy and therefore, history. Hopefully, it will all come together and make sense. I told myself I would absolutely not write another story set in the past, but perhaps I am researching book six? #writerslife #weirdturns

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 16d

Yeah, thanks! I shall keep it and cherish it forever. :)

I don’t know much about Amazon Ads, but hang in there. I read this week, it’s fail, fail, fail, takeoff!

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 16d

I just read I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter this summer, and I loved it!

So, this is a weird flukey thing that happened on Amazon, but THAT’S MY BOOK NEXT TO COLLEEN HOOVER’S, and I will forever look at this photo when I am discouraged. #friendstoloversromance #romancelandia

(Pretty cool, though, right?)

Image shows books listed in Friends and Lovers categories on Amazon. #41 is Serenity Lake Marina by Sarasota Green and #42 shows Losing Hope and Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover.

haha! It’s fun, because there’s room for more writing. It’s crazy, because it comes out of nowhere when the story seemed cohesive.

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 18d

Some of my random book stacks of most recent activity. I think I’ve read all of them but two…things to do!

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 18d

Hey, hi! I love this phrase “Luxury Romance.” 💙 I’ve been offline for a bit, glad to see you still here!

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 18d

Hey, hi. I’ve been offline for a bit. Glad to see you’re doing well and still writing!

These 23 books were removed from Florida school libraries under HB 1069.

A federal judge has now struck down part of that law, citing nearly a century of precedent protecting First Amendment access to ideas.

Covers of 23 books with the quote from Judge Mendoza, 'None of these books are obscene.'

I went into my settings early on and “muted” some specific words and specific names. It helped keep the politics out of my feed. Some still creep in (I probably need to look at it again: new words.) But, I am also here for books and authors. :)

You all, the real Julia Alvarez is here. Like, In the Time of the Butterflies and The Cemetery of Untold Stories, Julia Alvarez.

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 19d

Oh, I missed it! I hope they air it again. I am a fan of your work. The Cemetery of Untold Stories was a gorgeous book.

Sarasota Green @sarasotagreen.bsky.social · 19d

Thank you! 💙

Same! I’m on an off day, and I feel so crappy about it! Thanks to a trip to the mechanic shop. But tomorrow, we’ll hopefully soar…:)

Florida judge strikes down state law used to ban books: 'None of these books are obscene'

Judge Carlos Mendoza ruled that Florida's ban on books that "describe sexual conduct" is too broad.

I am embarking on a Book Series Bible, which feels very much like a one-million piece puzzle. Wish me luck. #amwriting #writersky

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
