Here's an updated guide to my books, including the one that comes out in November 2024. Fantasy and sci-fi romance with bisexual main characters 💖 www.feliciadavin.com/ for more info

📚🌈💙📚
White text on a blue-purple gradient background: a guide to Felicia Davin’s books. There are three book covers: a red one labelled Thornfruit, a blue one labelled Nightvine, and a purple one labelled Shadebloom, each with illustrated floral imagery on them, all by Felicia Davin. The Gardener’s Hand (2018). Queer fantasy. Quasi-feral mindreader discovers her mom is evil, enlists the help of a sensible farmgirl and a slutty linguist. They fall in love. Smart Bitches, Trashy Books said the characters were “phenomenal.” White text on a blue-purple gradient background: a guide to Felicia Davin’s books. There are three book covers. The first book cover shows a figure in silhouette with his back to the viewer. His silhouette is transparent and the bluish starry void of space is visible through it. The text on the cover says "Edge of Nowhere," and below that, "Felicia Davin." The other two covers are similar but the background colors are orange (for Out of Nowhere) and green (for Nowhere Else). The Nowhere (2018-21). A trio of m/m romances set in a world where some people can teleport. Space, evil trillionaires, sex pollen, falling in love, etc. Edge of Nowhere was a 2018 finalist at the Bisexual Book Awards. A judge called it “a gripping, highly readable mystery” with “a compelling romantic plot.” White text on a blue-purple gradient background: a guide to Felicia Davin’s books. There are three book covers in a line, each with an illustration of two women (one tall and white and butch, the other short and brown and femme) posed together. An arrow with “all 3 of these in one book” pointing to a fourth book cover that shows the two women embracing. There is an autumnal landscape behind them. Errant (2022). Five sapphic fantasy novellas co-authored with KR Collins and Valentine Wheeler as LK Fleet. A stoic swordswoman and a cheerful pickpocket actress wander the world causing trouble. White text on a blue-purple gradient background: a guide to Felicia Davin’s books. There are three book covers. The first book cover is THE SCANDALOUS LETTERS OF V AND J, with an oil painting of a white hand holding a quill and writing a letter, and the title text on ripped pieces of paper scattered over the painting. The second book cover is THE MISCHIEVOUS LETTERS OF THE MARQUISE DE Q, with an oil painting of a white hand holding a book and the title text on ripped pieces of paper scattered over the painting. The third book cover is THE ANONYMOUS LETTERS OF C FORESTIER, with an oil painting of a white hand holding a quill and writing a letter, and the title text on ripped pieces of paper scattered over the painting. French Letters (2023-). Set in a magic version of 1820s Paris, told in letters, unclassifiably queer. People write a lot of horny diary entries and do some revenge murders. The New York Times called V and J “exquisite” and said it had “the thirstiest sex imaginable

In the festive meal one is required to eat a minimal amount of side dishes and each dish must be made by a separate household. It is asked if one is required to eat a Midwest Salad. And the sages answer, in all lands a salad is a mixture of vegetables, in the Midwest it is a mixture of any food.

fun fact: the only audiobooks I've recorded are my LEAST horny books, but it turns out that if you have to read something out loud to another person, a 2/10 (in explicitness) sex scene feels like a very big deal!

I narrated them myself and I hired a sound engineer. We recorded them at his studio, which gave me the fun/nerve-wracking experience of reading my novels allowed to another human being, in person. (Though some of it was done in 2020 so he was in a separate room, lol.)

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE is warm, cozy, & out today. I hope you love it! 💗

The story: A cranky baker's erroneous obituary brings the woman who got away back into his life--& now he needs to convince her to stay.
The heat level: steamy!
The baked goods: plentiful!

www.harpercollins.com/products/sec...
The illustrated cover of SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE by Olivia Dade (subtitle: "A Harlot's Bay Novel") is a warm peachy pink, with golden light coming from an overhead light fixture. The picture is set in a bakery, with racks of golden-brown pastries and loaves of broad. In the foreground, a pretty fat woman with long brown hair is sitting on a table, with a handsome fat man with ruddy hair and a beard standing between her legs. She has a hand tugging on his apron, and he has a hand on her thigh. They are nearly kissing and gazing at one another with desire and adoration.

Anyway the answer to a lot of things is community, friendship, trust, and kindness. But there will always be a slice of people who want to leapfrog over all that for some other, lesser end goal. Those people are, what's the word. Losers.

But that was thousands of years ago. Hey you know what happened to me more recently? A reader reached out and said, "I'm going through a hard time financially. Is it weird to ask for --?" And I already had a copy in the mail for them

Hey I remember a time when friends would loan each other books regularly. "Can I borrow that when you're done?" was a common, kind of sweet question. It meant you trusted your friend's taste or at least wanted to talk to them about the books you were reading.

A new kind of rapid Chotining. Please appreciate the alt-text.
Isaac Chotiner: "You would have to be brain-dead to read this piece and not immediately wonder who is funding Semafor Gulf." Quote post of Ben Smith saying: "Fascinating @msergie piece on covering a monarchy" about a Semafor article on Saudi Arabia's crown prince Smith responds to Chotiner: "That's a hell of an allegation/implication, Isaac. To figure out the literal answer to your question, you'd either have to look and see who the sponsors are in the email (I haven't checked today!) or read our publicly disclosed list of investors. I believe you're trying to imply that it's the Saudi government? Have you read more of our coverage, or just this tweet? My impression — correct me if I'm wrong — is that you're working on zero information and smearing us in general, and an experienced journalist @msergie whose work I suspect you're totally unfamiliar with in particular." Chotiner responds:"I’m not making any allegation. I’m making a simple point about how an average reader—myself included—might respond after reading this ridiculous piece" Ben Smith: "Just asking questions! Come on. You genuinely know better. Or read Mohammed's long career of work covering the Gulf and the Syrian war before you imply he's some kind of stooge." Noah Kulwin: "The point is not about who funds your reporting/if your colleague is a “stooge”. Isaac’s comment is that the reporting is so bad so as to make a reader wonder who is funding it" Smith: A reader, sure. A journalist who can do very basic homework, kind of lame. Chotiner: "You are right, I’ll do some homework now by perusing Jay Solomon Semafor pieces, and reading Jason Greenblatt Semafor columns. In the meantime, I will formally say that I am making no accusation and was just astonished at how inane the piece was" Chotiner quote-posts with "I see Semafor loves running column after column by this guy (https://semafor.com/author/faisal-j-abbas), who also publishes pro-Saudi conspiracies about the murder of Jamal Khashoggi https://arabnews.com/node/1386291" Ben Smith's post says "I hope I'm not overreacting, but it makes me crazy when people I think of as reporters do this "just asking questions" stuff. Feel free to report it out by googling/asking me/reading our various scoops and reports about the region — these two just now" and links to two Semafor articles Chotiner quote posts Ben Smith: "You might have heard that the UAE is helping destroy Sudan, but at the next Semafor event, all is well." Screenshot says "Held at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, Semafor will spotlight insights from the Global Findex 2025 report and the Global Digital Connectivity Tracker, translating global research into actionable, locally relevant conversations. As the third stop on The Next 3 Billion Tour, this edition explores how the Gulf's growing investments in Africa can accelerate digital connectivity and financial inclusion. With Abu Dhabi's focus on sustainable finance, digital transformation, and cross-border collaboration, it offers a strong platform to examine how technology and capital can work together to expand access and opportunity." Ben Smith's post says "Just asking questions! Come on. You genuinely know better. Or read Mohammed's long career of work covering the Gulf and the Syrian war before you imply he's some kind of stooge."
