Hey puppy people, look at these ADORABLE stickers I commissioned to include with Margin of Error pre-order swag! 😍 Do you have a favorite? (I'm partial to the pink sunglasses!)

Since today is National Fountain Pen Day, I thought I would do a fun fountain pen & book giveaway:

I'm giving away 3 copies of my sapphic romance novel "Paper Love," which is set in a stationery store, plus 3 fountain pens.

Enter the drawing by filling out this form:
airtable.com/appr5l3oRiRC...
Shown is a paperback copy of Paper Love by Jae, two women, one holding an iPad, the other holding a fountain pen. Next to the book are three fountain pens (blue, copper, and yellow).

After demanding to know why Mr Darcy never saw her as a potential match, Miss Caroline Bingley receives an answer more truthful than she'd like. Wounded, she turns to his sister, Georgiana, to help her become a kinder, sweeter version of herself... and finds a real romance along the way ❤️
The cover of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY by Lindz McLeod. Two women in regency dress sit on a pink picnic blacket. The blonde woman in the light yellow dress offers a bright red apple to the dark-haired woman in the purple dress. Behind them we can see a lake and in the far distance, two horses stand in front of a grand house.

Banned but not erased.

28% of all books banned for LGBTQ+ representation feature a transgender and/or genderqueer character.

These stories matter.

When things start going sideways, it's hard to know how to help. #BannedBooksWeek reminds us that our voices can be silenced at any time. Here are a few tips on how we can support authors and keep those voices loud and accessible. Representation matters. Always. 🫶

They look good together, don't they? ❤️ If you're wondering, these books are set in the same world, but both can be read as standalones. You did not meet either Marin or Charlotte from Margin of Error in Learning Curves, but you WILL see Audrey and Michelle in Margin of Error! 🥰❤️
