A little reminder of what’s in my books and who will and will not enjoy them. #romancelandia
“Don’t read my books if you’re transphobic or homophobic” above two romance books with queer couples on the cover. On one, a femme-presenting person in a white shirt touches a dark-haired man’s chest. On the other, two men kiss on a city street. “Don’t read my books if frank discussions of birth control bother you” above two book covers. On one, a muscular man clutches a dark-haired woman in her forties to his chest. On another, a man with a dark mustache embraces a woman with long dark hair. “Don’t read my books if female pleasure makes you squeamish” above two book covers. One has a shirtless blond firefighter against a backdrop of fireworks. The other has a muscular Black man and a Black woman with braids embracing. “Don’t read my books if you think NYC is a crime-ridden hellhole” above two book covers. On one, a white couple embraces against a Washington Square arch backdrop. On another, a blonde woman and Black man lean into kiss above a city skyline.
It’s official: This cold/allergy attack/bug has three days to clear up,
Something you will find in every Chelle de Notte book.
More books should include masturbation scenes as a way to show character development and romantic tension
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat
I started by knowing what I didn’t want, and that forced me to think carefully about covers I liked.
Yes! I watch Olive on YouTube every holiday season.
Sending off my edits before eight a.m. let me return to the day job feeling like a superhero with a secret identity.
Deleting my Instagram was the right thing, but I’ll miss this.
I detest FB, but the submitted memorial stories on the
@theaidsmemorial.bsky.social page are crushingly haunting and powerful. Atlanta lost so many brilliant, creative souls.
May their memories be a blessing.

Finally did THAT!
Deleted my Instagram account. It wasn’t helping me sell books, stealing my creativity, and stressing me out.
I signed with my publisher through a Twitter pitch event.

I connected with some amazing writers.

I adopted my cat after her foster posted pictures on Instagram.
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

The graphic has a peachy-pink background and shows the dust jacket for Olivia Dade's SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE. The dust jacket features a naked, hot, fat man on one knee embracing a pretty fat woman, whose hair flows out behind hair and whose suit jacket is falling off her shoulder.
Well, damn…nerves about checking my email gave way to slight curiosity about how long I can go without doing it!
That’s what my whole office was saying about it!
I’ve never seen an episode of any Real Housewives in my life.
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
