Happy release day to the incomparable Olivia Dade. This is the warm, funny romance we need right now!

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.

This is just a reminder that I wrote a trilogy that ends with the icy blond lawyer fiancee, who got dumped for the hot small town tree farmer in the first book, road tripping to the ex's wedding with a fake girlfriend (and there's only one bed).
You can buy all three!

I'm so delighted that this book is out in the world! Mindy is one of my favorite writers, bar none, and depicts complex relationships among women with such tenderness and care and rueful humor. Also, you know I love cinnamon roll heroes, and this story's offering is especially sweet. 😍

If you're outside Alberta, talking about this issue will help. This article explains what's happening and also gives further context with how the UCP also used the notwithstanding clause to legislate striking teachers back to work, taking rights away from them

Alberta invokes notwithstanding clause to stop court challenges of transgender laws | Globalnews.ca
The clause relates to laws that put restrictions on student pronoun changes at school, on girls' sports, and on medical therapies for young people looking to transition.

Got my copy of the new @rubyopalmindy.bsky.social ! So looking forward to this.
A copy of "The Glowing Life of Leeann Wu" by Mindy Hung rests on a desk. The cover image shows a hand in silhouette, with radiant lines emanating from it. The title and author name are rendered in a warm yellow serif font with interesting decorative features.

If you're Albertan, speak up directly to support trans kids. I urge you to CC the opposition because they're the ones listening and taking notes about what the majority of Albertans want, not the UCP.

the idea is not all that counts. the idea is nothing at all until it has been lassooed, corralled, mutated, shuffled, blended with other ideas, and then expressed over the medium of however many thousand words that you have selected and arranged as best you can. the idea is a promise, not a book.

But the point (there is a point) is, people fetishise the idea over the hard work of plotting and character development and research and internal consistency and just writing the fucker, because the Idea is the sparkly magic bit.

And this is what makes them put value in the AI prompt.
