Readers. Know that it only takes one compliment to stop an author from a downward spiral into imposter syndrome. For me at least, it's enough to make me do a shimmy and dance in my chair while writing. You're loved. You're amazing.

The couple actually got married! The whole story was like a love story played at 2x speed. Adorable!

Something authors might want to check out. I’m experimenting with them to give my books a little something extra.
I heard authors asking about forced edges? What are they? Are they right for your books? What are the pros and cons? And of course, how can I do it? Well... I made a thing to answer all those questions. Feel free to share.

Folks... I need some good vibes. Give me your uplifting quotes. Your affirmations. Your happy pics. A dose of positivity would be greatly welcome right now.

I'm trying something new on my Patreon. It's a "Choose Your Own Adventure." Patrons get to decide the fate of the story. It's fun seeing what madness they get my characters into. It'll be interesting to see what happens when it gets steamy!

Our goal was to tell the stories we needed as kids. Come to find out, we also need them as adults. An honest look at the complexities of being gay in a small town in Maine.

I'm pretty sure the snowpocalypse heading our way is gonna be chilly. Why not heat things up with some bear smut? Just saying... turn a cold night piping hot! 🥵

Random fact... librarians show up in so many of my series because Momma O'Malley is a librarian. I spent much of my teen years helping her catalogue books. The stacks are like a second home to me!

Bears... can we take a moment to appreciate Teddy Swims. He's like if Mid-Century Modern transformed into sexy ass man. I can't be the only one hot under the collar... woof.

I write the books I want to read. I wasn't quite sure what that meant when I wrote my first romance. Now I'm seeing, my passion is portraying positive masculinity. Odd that it's a novel concept and one I'm sure I haven't mastered. But I'm learning...

For those who don't know... I published a comic under my real name with @ageofnight.bsky.social (yes, Amanda and same comic from Bears of Firefly Valley.) Teens and up. Honest look at coming out as both gay and a hero in a small town..

Okay... I'm thinking of dipping my toe into Reddit. Where should I be as an author? Where should I be as a bear? Heck, where should I be as a bear author? Help a boy out!

When I started this whole "writing bear romance" I didn't know what to expect. Ladies, you're amazing and I love your energy. What shocked me were the number of bears who reached out. This is a beautiful intersection of brawn and beauty. I won't say which is which.

Doing a fun lil project with my readers. They choose the direction and I do the writing. Let's see how long before they let the characters kiss! Should be a stress free project for 2026!

Definitely channeling some inner devil energy today. What mischief could I possibly be up to?

Okay... not saying I am rooting for Hopper to get hurt... but if it results in him getting a scene bandaging himself, then buddy, you need to get slapped around. It's for the fans. Me. I'm the fan. In fact, I'm going to need a full on montage.

For those who need a little smut with their Christmas presents. What if Santa was just another superhero? Except this time, he's the one who needs saving.

I opened my very first bottle of wine… I’m 44. I don’t know why this seems important. Now to proceed and drink said bottle while watching David Harbour covered in blood.

Just a heads up, I never follow strangers. Easiest way to fix that, say hi. Always up for meeting new folks!

Okay… time to share the Christmas card I sent my readers. 🫣 Did I recreate my winter book cover? Why yes, yes I did! It’s time to share it with y’all!

I'm sitting here thinking about weird holiday traditions. Mine would be making the lamest version of Ambrosia ever concocted and my family insisting on spaghetti for Christmas dinner. What weird traditions do you have?

Do I lurk on Bluesky hunting photos of bears and their boyfriends looking cute together? Yes I do. It makes me smile seeing men living loudly. You keep doing you, I'll be over here cheering.

Yes... this is a reminder that you need to post more!
