Just finished reading And The River Drags Her Down by Jihyun Yun and good god that book slaps so hard. It was the perfect balance of tension, terror, and grief. It came out today—go get your copy!

This was such a fun read. I highly recommend it! Charlotte Stein writes some of the horniest books and this one is no different. Happy book release date!

This book had me cackling loud enough that my husband got a play-by-play run down complete with a certain song form Beauty and the Beast being song around our house for the last few days. I need y’all to read it and love it as much as I did.

The illustrated cover of ZOMROMCOM by Olivia Dade, featuring the tagline: Love can make you lose your head. The background is a speckly bright purple, and in the foreground are a man dressed in black and a woman in bright pink overalls and a white tank top standing back to back and holding hands. He has a huge sword at the ready, and she is brandishing a shiny cleaver. All around them, clutching at them from the edges of the image, are bright green zombie hands.

Oh also I am “I didn’t drink enough water and woke up with a Charley horse in my leg” old so that’s a fun discovery

Got to see Sarah MacLean last night. At one point a micro trope example was needed and Sarah said “men with mustaches” and it was hard not to shout “ @bandherbooks.bsky.social put you up to that!”🫣😂

That feeling when you drive to the office and just sit in your car in the parking lot contemplating whether you should actually go in.

Day 4 of #1000wordsofsummer is done with 1003 words. I really didn’t want to write after work today but I got home, grabbed some iced tea, and reminded myself that I didn’t have to write but I was lucky that I got to write.

Day one of #1000wordsofsummer completed at 1,163 words. Last year I didn’t keep track of my total words written and regretted that. This year I’m excited to see how many words I get on the page. Wishing everyone a creative and joyful challenge.

Revisited an old story idea to see if I should dive into it during #1000wordsofsummer and I really need to give myself more credit. There’s some good stuff there that would be fun to play with and expand. Made a list of a few scenes and I can’t wait to let the story take me where it wants to go.
