I would probably continue what I do now and maybe invest more time in the free education programme I run rather than constantly worrying where the next freelance contract is coming from.

Mafia/gang stories exist within the framework of a politically corrupt system. So bad man behavior can often times be restorative street justice. But notice how in those communities if done right, actual abusers are punished. I need yall to read Demon’s Dream which actually nails this.
I genuinely wonder if some of these authors have even watched The Godfather or Casino, listened to a podcast, anything. So many of the mob guys that are still around have YouTube channels lololol
Sometimes I think about how violent, sex negative, and weirdly vanilla dark romance is. I also wish I could explain proper gang/mafia related codes of ethics vs an MMC who is just violent and emotionally abusive. Loving a bad man is different than he’s not bad because I love him.

I’ve frankly been too worn out to do any shopping posts, BUT! Do consider buying my books for loved ones for the holidays. I’ve also got prints and such at the link in my bio.

If I can sell 16 books in two days it’ll officially be my best sales month ever 😅

One of the reasons I much prefer physical books (tho ofc my apartment doesn’t)!
One of the books in my office is 290 years old. It’s still in excellent condition and easy to read. I wonder how easy it’ll be to read electronic texts 290 years from now. I expect it’ll be rather trickier.

Yesss! If you’re looking for a pirate romance to drown in, Shiver Me is the book for you!

A classic (ish) pirate captain x governess adventure tale where things do get turned on their heads (bi4bi, swirling mystery, fake names!)

Buy PB or HB at any shop you like

Kobo having a massive Black Friday sale where I got like 7 books for $30 is exactly what I needed right now but also dangerous because there were so many more books I wanted to add to cart

TOMORROW: is Black Friday

SATURDAY: is small business Saturday

Don’t forget to check out this thread!!

#smallbiz #booksky
It’s getting closer to holiday sales and shopping. Instead of spending money at a big box store or putting money in a billionaires pocket… shop small!!

If you have a small business or are a small time creator (that means artists and indie authors too!) share your links/work below.

If you want to get wild this spending weekend you CAN head on over to my patreon where joining up (for free) will get you tons of pirate-y goodies, spending $3 a month will support my writing immensely, or upping that to $9 a month will unlock NSFW Shiver Me art & WIP!

Indie romance writers ARE small businesses.
And often the ONLY places to buy our stories are Amazon & Kobo
Most small bookstores don't stock indie romance novels in print.
And I've never heard of any of them stocking them in eBook form.
November 28, 2025 at 5:45 PM
A chilling truth! Indies will tell you where their book is stocked (mine is at Lost the Plot Books in Seattle, WA & the Underground Bookshop in Carrollton, GA right now… they’re the best) and def buy any trad pub books at indies if possible! But grabbing indies on zon or kobo soo cool too!

Angels, I am not doing a sale this weekend BUT you must promise to reach out if you want a copy of Shiver Me and can’t swing it money-wise.

Love… review… tell your friends… whatever, just ask 🤠

my gift guide is you should buy cool stuff created by cool people on bluesky.

buy their books, their art, their old-school zines, their music, their nut mixes, a membership to their patreon, their off-kilter tote bags, etc.

(and if you have a thing people should buy, post it! right now!)

The third act breakup in Shiver Me gives “Silver Springs” and that’s all I’m saying about that.

You can read the pirate steamy drama if you want to know more!!
