The Great Maple Mistake is a low-angst, small-town, contemporary LGBTQ romance about a local cutie looking for love, a sexy firefighter with a maple aversion, baking show obsessions, fluffy kittens, rumor mills, and a connection that’s more than skin deep.

This comes up all the time.

"How do I get people to talk to me?"

And the simple answer is... be the conversation that you want to see.

Talk to people.

Be interested.

Here, engagement is something you *do* not something you get.

News you can (maybe) use: I'm going to be reopening to queries the first 10 days of every month. (Trying out this new-fangled strategy to keep the volume manageable). And checking the calendar...that means I'm reopening tomorrow, March 1.
