I have a slow couple of days at work, so here we go...

BEARDONKADONK: a textfic

🐻⛰️🐻⛰️🐻⛰️

Rey and Ben are park rangers. Rey finds a bear she thinks looks exactly like Ben... much to Ben's displeasure.

But Rey just knows this bear is going to be the champion of Fat Bear Week. #beardonkadonkfic

i am so beyond floored, guys!!!! and so excited to announce that my debut novel MISCLICK will be published with @berkleypub.bsky.social in early 2027!!!!!

a publisher’s marketplace deal report detailing the plot of MISCLICK, by Rae Smyth. The novel is about a woman who, after a bad day at work, drunkenly enters a contest where the prize is co-starring with her favorite adult film actor in his next video and, to her shock, unexpectedly wins, to Cindy Hwang at Berkley

Summary:

When Rey loses her job, she jokes at a night out with friends about entering into sugar baby work. She doesn't consider that Ben Solo, the occasional addition to their friend group and mild stone in her shoe, is listening.

Or that he'd be interested.

Or, a Sugar Daddy / Sugar Baby AU Among Friends
