This was the most I've ever ridden at once. One day I'll do it on my mountain bike! But electrically assisted or not, wow was I hungry at the end. #cycling #ebike

FUN FOR THE SUMMER

Two former friends hooking up for the summer. How could that possibly alter their life? In more ways than the realize.

❤️ Neurodivergent leads
🌶 3/5 Spice
❤️ Love sure helps, but it doesn't magically solve their problems
😍 Scizoaffective rep

FUN FOR THE SUMMER

It's important to me to tell love stories of people with schizoaffective as we're often only cast as the villains in thrillers. I want this story to be one where it influences the plot, but never the lovingness. I hope people see themselves in Mae.

FUN FOR THE SUMMER

Mae and Jack used to be very close, until something neither is talking about dissolved their friendship. But the attraction remains. When a boring summer looms over them, they find fun in one another. Will their fun lead to something real though?

Just for the Summer X Take a Hint, Dani Brown (mental health rep)

Mae is stuck in Cedar for the summer under the same roof as Jack. The two have a lot going on, but they find fun in one another and agree to hook up for summer. Will fun turn to love or not?

Buddy reading Pachinko with @thetomatowriter.bsky.social and damn is it ripping my heart out. It's so beautiful I keep coming back for more. #Booksky📚 #readersofbluesky #reading #litfic #histlitfic

I was so very confused for a moment but then remembered the rest of the world uses Celsius and it's Americans who are weird.

Just a small moment of Mae's efforts she puts into showing off her handiwork online. I haven't included nearly enough of her chronically online nature in draft v1, but it'll definitely come up more in draft v1.5. #WIPSnips #Writing #amwriting #WriteSky #BookSky

Do I still need to finish Pachinko for a buddy read? Yes. Did I start yet another book that promises to be rough emotionally speaking? Yes, but I wasn't quite ready to read a new Ali Hazelwood romance (love/hate relationship there). This is starting strong though! #booksky #reading
