Hello Tumblr people.
Ok, firstly WE ARE FINE. WE ARE GOING TO BE 100% OK.
But also, my wife had a minor stroke, completely out of the blue, a few weeks ago. Again- We're ok! She was back to work within like 4 days and half of that was weekend. Our 5 year old didn't even have time to worry about it.
And while I do NOT need donations because I have like a nice little middle class career and everything...the hospital bills are rolling in and we owe like $600 for the ambulance because it was "out of network" and we live in a garbage country. I mean. Could be worse. I've had worse ambulance bills. But we are gonna be running full force into our in and out of network deductibles in the second month of the year once the overnight hospital stay bills and imaging bills roll in.
So, if you were ever inclined to download Secondhand Origin Stories, which is FREE and YOU CAN STILL DOWNLOAD FOR FREE WITH A COMPLETELY FREE CONSCIENCE (I can set it to any payment I want. I have chosen not to), well, then people kicking me $2 for a whole novel has helped me before. As does recommending my book to other people. Even if they don't pay me, every download makes me happy because ultimately I write in order to be read.
So, here it is
Tumblr media
You can get it in ebook form right this moment right here.
As an added bonus you will recognize these goobers when I talk about them when I do WIP ask games and stuff while editing book 2 in the series.
Please enjoy and tell other people if you liked it!

Girlfriend Material by Katia Rose
Tumblr media
Today's sapphic book of the day is Girlfriend Material by Katia Rose!
Summary: "It’s a good thing Allison Farley isn’t in love with her best friend.
They may both be star students in their costume design program, but when it comes to relationships, Allison and Kate are as different as their fashion senses.
Kate marches through life in combat boots and crop tops, breaking hearts as fast as she steals them and insisting anything more than an emotionless hook-up is a waste of time.
Allison knits her own sweaters, wears socks with tiny strawberries on them, and has spent two years of college utterly failing at her goal of getting a girlfriend before graduation.
Until the day it hits her: she’s got a master flirting coach right at her fingertips.
It doesn't take much to get Kate on board; teaching her best friend the art of seduction seems like the perfect distraction from some of the inconvenient truths Kate would rather not face.
Like maybe she doesn’t hate relationships.
Maybe she’s just afraid of them—too afraid to reach out and grab one when it’s staring her in the face.
So it’s a good thing Kate Davidson isn’t in love with her best friend either. It’s a good thing Kate and Allison are just taking part in some purely platonic flirting lessons and are absolutely, totally, definitely not falling in love."

“Your safety is worth everything.”
“Even the shadowlands?”
His now-swirling eyes had never left mine, but, somehow, he’d moved without me even realizing, crossing the space between us. “Yes.”
—A Light in the Flame
A LIGHT IN THE FLAME begins directly after A SHADOW IN THE EMBER ends, with Sera’s plan out in the open, Nyktos’ trust broken, and Kolis attempting to take over the Shadowlands. A LIGHT IN THE FLAME was definitely my most-anticipated JLA book of the year, and I’m happy to report it was a deliciously good read! The romance, the action, the worldbuilding…I am simply obsessed with this series (and Nyktos, as everyone should be.)
After reading and reflecting, I have come up with one all-encompassing question. How did JLA keep up with such angsty and yearning in book two? Well, Sera and Nyktos go through the ringer in this book as they rebuild the trust that was broken in book one. Their character growth–and the growth of their relationship–was so beautiful, satisfying, and sincere. I absolutely loved every part of it!
Let’s take a look at some of the tropes found in this book that are simply *chefs kiss*:
Friends with benefits
Forbidden love
I’ll run away to protect you
Touch her and you die
Longing
Let me take care of you
Did I just see what I thought I just saw?
I can’t love but let me show you that I love you in other ways
Cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers
Note: I highly recommend going back and re-reading A SHADOW IN THE EMBER before cracking open A LIGHT IN THE FLAME, because you’re in for a wild ride from start to finish. (Also, I didn’t do a re-read beforehand and I had forgotten some of the secondary characters.)

This book has my heart right now. Being gay and living in a small conservative town, an Asian mc who must deal with racism, just the attention to several big problems for many, many Americans living in this country right now. And, not just mentioning these problems but speaking about them in this story in such an honest way.
Stevie and Nora are in love. They have a new life waiting for them in California. However, all of that changes when Stevie falls into a ravine and has permanent amnesia about the past two years after she wakes up from a coma.
So, this is a story of friendship and finding out who your true friends really are. About finding yourself. This is a story about falling in love, and then forgetting everything and falling back in love with a beautiful human who never gave up.
If you can't tell... I loved every piece of this book. It lives up to the hype and more. It's my new moody read for when I'm feeling cloudy.
Out April 4, 2023!
Some warnings for racism, homophobia, and domestic violence.
Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

My first novel is already free
But people hate clicking links. I hate clicking links, so I understand and respect that.
So I wonder what would happen if, as I prep book 2 in the series, I started posting chapters on Tumblr. (Behind a cut. I’m not an animal.)
I wonder if some people would read it that way, if it was delivered to their app at a predetermined weekly time, with in-app links to previous chapters in case someone missed something, and a hashtag to follow.
Like don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled at the number of people who’ve read it since it came out. But also I lost touch with a lot of them since Twitter did what Twitter did. So I don’t have a way to tell them it’s about time for book 2.
Could serializing a book on here work that way, do you think?
It’s an angsty, queer, scifi/superhero YA/NA thing that leans very domestic and introspective. Lots of complicated found family dynamics. The angst is 90% not about the queerness even.
I dunno.
Book ppl- thoughts?
RBs welcome but I’m not the boss of you.

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose
Tumblr media
Today's sapphic book of the day is The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose!
Summary: "
Some couples are a match made in heaven. Moira and Kenzie are convinced the only place they’re a match is in hell.
Raised as the shining prodigies of warring highland dance schools, the two grew up with blaring bagpipes as the backing track for a feud that took them all the way to the world championships.
Moira could never keep Kenzie’s icy glares from getting under her skin, and Kenzie could never hold back an eye-roll as she watched the crowds fawn over her rival’s happy-go-lucky charm.
Starting college has forced both women to hang up their kilts, but when their local highland dance association announces a scholarship for a life-changing amount of money, they find themselves back onstage for one last season.
The stakes are higher than ever, but between shooting daggers at each other’s backs and insults at each other’s faces, their eyes start lingering, their hearts start pounding, and the sparks begin to build into a fire neither of them can control.
Hell could freeze before either woman would admit their attraction, but that won’t stop them from using it to play dirty—and getting caught in the crossfire of their feelings along the way.
After all, sometimes the devil wears tartan.
The Devil Wears Tartan is a New Adult WLW dramedy from Katia Rose featuring more bagpipes than anyone asked for and two fiercely competitive heroines caught in a sizzling shift from enemies to lovers."

🌿 “Lucky me, then.”
I tilted my head, questioning his statement. “Lucky?”
“It’s not every day I get a girl from the forest to help me find my dog in her woods.” Dempsey sounded so sincere, I wanted to laugh.
“I don’t remember offering that,” I said. I crossed my arms, daring him to argue.
“I have a feeling you’re going to come anyways.” 🌿
Reign of Clans & Gods arrives next Tuesday!
Filled with Irish lore, bog bodies, rings, forbidden love, arranged marriages, prophecy, magic, slow burn, wolf hounds, and more…
🌿🌿🌿
