Agent Josephine Vero is emotionally numb, surviving by rules that reward obedience and erase feeling. When a rogue agent assigned to her doesn't fit the mold of a typical agent under restructuring, she begins to sense the limits of a life she thought she was well suited for. Josephine isn't a story about assassins and spies...well, maybe just a little. It's about what happens when the agency's only female reformer does the one thing she isn't trained for: fall in love. **Allow up to 4 weeks for delivery

New Release!
I went a bit out of my comfort zone (and loved it) to write a gritty, dark to light, morally grey, love story with nods of ♠️, age gap, travel & more! Free until 2/21 on Kindle. If you'd enjoy a story about a lesbian reformer who falls in love with a rogue agent... a.co/d/0bfbyhQm

I'm so grateful for IHS and all they do for those of us with little to no voice/following/experience. This is important information.
This feels like a REALLY BIG DEAL. I personally don't buy from Amazon if I can help it, but when I Heart SapphFIC promotes my 🪐📚books, I for sure include their link.

No internet, but still have my phone to let everyone know Josephine is free until Saturday! Take a ride on a story about a woman trained to be numb, trained to kill, NOT trained to fall in love. Gritty, fast paced, emotionally gripping. I went out of my comfort zone on this one & hope you LOVE it!

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Taking a break from editing to launch an impromptu thread called:
SHIT MY EDITOR SAID THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD
Me: Within moments, there was a thud against the wall beside my bed, and soon she was moaning especially loudly, while he grunted, clumsy and out of sync.
Editor: Just one thud?

Not affiliated with this person in any way, but if you use sound when you write, this one is great! She does all the best tones and colored sounds, and makes them loud enough to block noise if you need it. youtu.be/IFz_muoCKwE?...

Looking for a M/M book to grab you and suck you in from page 1? A friend from writing class just published this and is very shy w/social media, so I'm happy to help promote his heartwarming story. Please let him know he's seen with reviews and ratings. 🌈📚

I'm abt a quarter thru the book (signed copy 😀🤩) but decided to get the audiobook so I can listen hands free. I'm so stinking excited. I wish I had better retention when it comes to history, but I do love this ish in the moment!

(ps - I think I'm going to keep the title of my book Josephine, despite a Sundance film released w/same title and similarities of child/violence.) Open to thoughts.
