I have a lot of books in a lot of different genres, and I know it can get confusing (even for me!), so here's a comprehensive list of everything I have so far by genre. You can find everything here: amazon.com/stores/Sarah...

Starting strong with The Reaper Chronicles!
A graphic describing all three books in The Reaper Chronicles trilogy as "Darkly humorous, unserious, and full of secrets. A Grim Reaper just wants to quit his job." The graphic displays all three books, The Reaper's Quota, Chasing the Reaper, and Secrets of the Reapers, and mentions that The Reaper's Quota has won several awards.

I was in the mood for a Halloween read this October, and I got exactly what I wanted in CAROUSEL by @mcknightwrites.bsky.social. This YA horror is all kinds of spooky fun.

Split, by @mcknightwrites.bsky.social
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. The book didn’t disappoint. If you like gentle stories that allow the tension to build, you'll like this ghost story....

Art by human artists is worth waiting for! Mik had some life stuff that meant this commission took a while, but he was open with me about it the whole time. I LOVE seeing the basement gang hanging out in an active scene. A typical day in Benji's basement paradise!
A scene depicting all seven characters from the Basement Gang series of standalone books hanging out together on the couch in Benji's basement. Everyone is having a good time talking, laughing, and joking around.

Genuinely blown away by this. These numbers are all for Coffee, Tea, or Me, which has barely been out for two whole months. This is so encouraging, especially since I never thought I'd write romance. Good thing I have a few more Sapphic love stories in store!

Made this before my unexpected hospital stay (baby and I are okay!) intending to post it sometime this week 😅

From one of my favorite scenes in Life, Love, and Lipstick. Hijinks, drama, and a sprinkle of romance await in all the Basement Gang books!
A graphic showing the characters Charlie and Blaze from Life, Love, and Lipstick: Charlie's Story by Sarah McKnight. The graphic features an excerpt from the book that reads "Since you two won't talk to each other, I'm not letting you out until you kiss and make up. Literally." The character art shows Blaze pulling Charlie in close, clearly going for a kiss with a wicked smirk and Charlie blushing.

Very enjoyable contemporary sapphic romance with an interesting plot, well-rounded characters, a tad of spice, and a psychological twist.

Can absolutely recommend.
