Solange dances the cancan with the best of them but Lulu has an artificial foot and keeps her feet firmly on the ground. No high kicks for her.

Meee toooo! My chapter titles are totally spoiler and definitely boring. They go to the bistro. A gossip comes to the shop. Bleh.

It's nice to see a little attention for my debut novel, published 10 years ago this May!

And it took me that long to realize that the main character is ace! I just didn't know there was a word for him.

I tend to the kindness side of things but when a character is mean, they have a lot of underlying hurt that's spawning the meanness.

I am so relieved. You write a book, you work hard to make it great, but you just don't know if readers really will enjoy it.

I have a queer short story in an upcoming anthology with the Women Writing Other Worlds group! It's about a fae trapped in a clock, set in early 20th century Berlin. Kinda romantasy. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ“š โณ๐Ÿ“š

I had to have a reader point it out to me...as if I did it consciously. Errr no, queer characters fighting patriarchy and oppression just snuck into my books.

The aristocrat Louise-Marie in my upcoming sapphic historical romance is nicknamed Lulu by the milliner's errand girl. The love interest Solange immediately starts using it.

Romance overules mystery if there's a HEA
Mystery overrules romance if no HEA.
Horror overrules both.
Scifi overrules Horror unless horror is central element.
Fantasy overrules all other genres.

You can have a science fantasy romantasy horror mystery, & it will still be 'Fantasy' on store shelves.
