Just a glimpse of what’s coming — soft light, sharp suits, and all the tension you could ask for.

Well, fuck. Tested positive this morning—because writing queer fiction and working full-time wasn’t enough drama. Currently starring in the sapphic sickbed edition of “Too Many Deadlines, Not Enough Ventilation.” Send tea. Or fanfic. Or both. 😷📚

Back to work after two weeks of writing, retreating, and wrestling with a very stubborn draft. The story’s not done—but neither am I. ☕️📚💻

📚✍️ Two-week writing retreat (aka: time off the day job to dive deep into sapphic stories). No emails. No meetings. Just me, my characters, and a very stubborn word count.

Let’s see what kind of magic (and chaos) I can conjure. 🌙💻✨

WIP: Every Word Unsaid

The McIntyres' house always smelled like cinnamon and laundry powder. The kind of place that hugged you before anyone had a chance to. It was a second home. Sometimes it felt like the first.

🌈✨ Pride is about living our truth, our stories remind us we are seen, we are valid, and we are home.

This Pride Month, I’m celebrating the power of queer stories — yours, mine, and all the ones still waiting to be told. 🏳️‍🌈💖

Love my wife, she’s got a take on everything, hands that feel like Sunday morning, and a Goodreads list that could floor a professor. I’m just here trying to keep up.

While you’re waiting for Every Word Unsaid. Why not revisit Brooke and Jules in my short novella Face the Truth.

Falling in love with my broken characters is inevitable.
I meet them in pieces—sharp-edged, closed-off, often pretending they don’t need anyone.
But then I write them looking at her.
The silence shifts. Their walls crack. Something soft begins to bloom.

We both snuck off to buy each other a gift for Mother’s Day, on behalf of our young son. Neither of us knew. Neither of us could help ourselves. Only two women in love would think, “I will give her something that never wilts?”

Mondays are for pretending you’re fine after a sapphic slow burn cracked your heart open.

Tag a book. Tag a friend. Tag your emotional support blanket.

Just finished Dream a Little Dream by Melissa Brayden and wow—my heart.
Soft, slow-burn sapphic romance with second chances, emotional healing, and love that feels like home.

Quiet chemistry, beautiful characters, and a story that lingers.

We were never supposed to want each other.

But the look in her eyes said maybe we always had.

We grew up searching for ourselves between the lines.

Signs you grew up desperately seeking queer rep in every book.

Which one was you?

She came back sharper, colder—
But every part of me wanted to burn.
