I just found out that apparently new chapter notifications aren’t working. If I usually read your new chapters and you have updated your story in the last day or so, please leave me a note here so I don’t miss anything!
          
          I also strongly recommend posting an announcement so all your followers know what’s going on. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, but in the meantime announcements will be extra important since those still seem to be working properly (knock on wood).

With one last shot to prove the Moon Goddess approves of her becoming Jasper's mate, Brooke lets him in on one of the selkies' best kept secrets.

          Best of luck to everyone who'll be doing ONC this year! I've decided to pass on it again since the idea I'm currently working on is a bit too big to squeeze into a novella, but I'm still really looking forward to seeing the prompts come out tomorrow.

We're entering the home stretch now with only about a month and a half of updates left for The Selkie's Alpha. With the storm over, Brooke and Jasper have no choice but to deal with everyone's least favorite werewolf. It's safe to say a certain someone is less than happy about the ball being interrupted...

          It's been a heck of an exhausting week, so I'm hoping to spread a little positivity. What stories have you guys been reading lately? I'd love to hear about any hidden gems you think could use more love!
          
          I've been reading Gulpswallow by @LaneWight, a wonderfully suspenseful story about a man trying to track down the monster that abducted him as a child after it begins hunting victims again after a long absence. I'm a sucker for a good monster story, and I've loved how well the story explores the ways Pull and the other survivors deal with the trauma of what they went through as children. It's easy to see why this story shortlisted for the Wattys!

Now that he's finally found what he was looking for, Jasper finally gets a moment to rest. It's safe to say he's going to need it...

          Make sure you keep an eye on @TheAmbys profile! They'll be announcing the winners for the 2024 Ambys later this morning.

Alone at sea in the middle of a thunderstorm, Brooke has an important decision to make.

          Hope everyone's been staying safe this week. We got hammered with snow, but I was lucky enough to telework through what we've gotten so far. We're supposed to get more this weekend though, so hopefully it won't be too bad.

With the power out and tempers flaring, Jasper has a very important decision to make that will determine the future of his pack.

          The good news is I managed to fully outline a story idea this past week. The bad news is another idea I’ve had on the back burner for over a year decided to ambush me and isn’t letting me focus on anything else LOL! Stuff like this is exactly why I don’t usually talk much about future stories until after the first draft is done. Hopefully this other outline sorts itself out in a timely fashion…

For those of you who thought a certain character in The Selkie’s Alpha couldn’t get any worse, brace yourselves. You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg…

          I’ve completely finished revising A Pinch of Passion, so that’s all set to start posting after TSA wraps up in March. I’ve been dying to share that story with you guys for ages, and I have a feeling you’ll absolutely love it!
          
          I’m currently working on outlining my next big project. Once that’s done, my current plan is to reread either Unhealthy Coping Mechanism or Rat Song with the intent to revise the heck out of the chosen story and query it at a later date. I’m very much playing it by ear right now since I’ve already flip flopped on which story I’m planning to tackle first at least half a dozen times, and that’s even ignoring the fact I’m not sure if I’ll have the energy to tackle the actual revisions in 2025 since I know work is going to be nuts. I should have a better idea of the way ahead in the next few weeks, at least. If nothing else, at least I’ll have everything I need to start drafting another culinary focused mxm paranormal romance in the near future (which is a huge relief because I have a list of ideas for over twenty of those…).

It’s finally time for the Blue Moon Ball, and things aren’t going smoothly for poor Jasper…

Like your recent story.

In this week’s chapter of The Selkie’s Alpha, the night of the Blue Moon Ball has finally arrived, and poor Brooke is having a heck of a rough time.

          Huge congrats to the winners of the Aro Ace Awards hosted by the @TripleACommunity! We had a lot of amazing entries this year, and it was an absolute delight to read them all.
          
          In third place, we have On Love and Desire by @indigosa, a new adult story featuring queerplatonic love between two college graduates. We absolutely adored this story’s strong, introspective voice!

          In second place, we have Penned Sea Hearts by @dragonthusiast, a mxm fantasy romance between two merfolk, a librarian and an author who writes steamy romance novels. The idea of an underwater library with living books is super fun, and the dynamic between the two leads makes for a lot of funny and sweet moments that we can hardly wait to see blossom into a relationship!

          Lastly, the GRAND WINNER of the inaugural Aro Ace Awards is Flight Risk by @Voyageavecmoi, a friends to lovers romcom between two people who start fake dating after meeting on an airplane. The author’s passion for traveling comes through this story beautifully, and the central relationship is filled with such amazingly written chemistry it will make your heart soar!
