Hello Friends! My name is Heather Novak and I write open door, LGBTQ+ romance with disability rep! I’m here to break the able-bodied, straight couple romance mold. I’m both indie and tradpub.

I’m a ✨bisexual fangirl,✨ Hypopara advocate, and an avid fanfic lover. 😍🏳️‍🌈
Absolutely loved this chapter update!
Zootopian Ch 10 is here (finally)
Nick takes Charlie to the beach and all he can think about is their first kiss 🏄‍♂️

I’ve been complaining about hot flashes overnight for years and more recently, consistent hip pain.

Doctors tried different diets and meds… finally someone said, “check your mattress.”

Absolutely freaking wild.

With hypopara, curiosity about worsening symptoms is crucial
Columnist Heather Novak has learned not to chalk all her symptoms up to hypoparathyroidism. Her recent pain is a reminder of that.

I miss the days when I used to have to subscribe to marketing emails with a double opt in, instead of being automatically subscribed when I even glance at a website one time. 😐

This fic is very special to me. 🩷

Nick & Charlie have been best friends and roommates since they met at PT. To cheer Nick up after a hard week, Charlie volunteers to draw a new tattoo design on Nick’s shoulder. They’re both SUPER chill about it.

Yes. Yes it does.

If you love pop music/The Eras Tour, this is a story told in tweets about trans Charlie dropping a new album (the lyrics are all big pop hits) and his boyfriend Nick being his # 1 fan.

Loved this one so much!!

2 weeks ago, I was absolutely blown away by Ban This Book Fest Detroit! After years of focusing on my Hypopara advocacy work as we fought for a treatment, the book community welcomed me back with open arms and said “we missed you, welcome home!”

Loved this one!
Final chapter of Out on a Limb is up! My first E-rated fic has officially fledged 🐦 Who knew "Smut & Hiking" would be so fun to write? 😆 Special thanks to my pre-readers @zippydoodaa.bsky.social @miss-minnelli.bsky.social & Birdy, and to all who are enjoying it!
