Short caption is short today, we're still visiting

Short caption is short today, we're still visiting in California (carefully, with masks on, social distance in place, and hopefully leaving my tiny hometown as healthy as we found it).
So: my selection of author help books is slowly growing, a book at a time. Sometimes I just need a quick shot of inspiration, or motivation. Occasionally I want to know the word for that feeling, you know, the one when you're feeling the thing but wish you weren't, what is that word again? No matter what, my writing resources are here for me and I love them.

Yesterday's #stepbacksaturday reveal: Yours Until

Yesterday's #stepbacksaturday reveal:
Yours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiros.
It's an homage to Beauty and the Beast with lots of sweet angst and a hero learning to live with being blinded after the Battle of Trafalgar. There's an unexpected plot twist near the end of the book which really did catch me by surprise.
I was enjoying it a lot, up until the heroine's really silly decision at about 80%. Like, yes, I know the traditional romance formula is to separate the pair near the end and force them to fight to get back together. But couldn't she have given him a *bit* of the trust he'd earned by then? It took a five star read down to a four. But if that formulaic issue doesn't bother you, this will definitely be a fantastic story.

Happy #stepbacksaturday
Here's a lovely sun-drenched stepback for you. I left a big old clue right in the picture. Another hint: this one is a bit of a Beauty and the Beast retelling with a war scarred hero learning to live with a new disability.
Good luck! And thank you to @pinkcowlandreads for starting this tradition. 🧡

Sadly I'm not much of a contemporary romance reade

Sadly I'm not much of a contemporary romance reader, and I've been in a suuuuper historical mood for the last few months. So this lovely has gone unread, even though I know it will be a good book. I just can't force the mood!
Partly, it could be that what I write ends up being (fairly) contemporary. I mean, I'm nudging superpowered supervillains into completely inappropriate feelings for an also powerful sidekick. So it's not real contemporary, as such 😂 But there are cell phones and cars and hygiene and modern medicine, so it's more contemporary than not. And I spend all day immersed in it, which sucks away all enthusiasm for another romance set in modern times. I will read this book, it's just going to take some time.

Entry number 500 in the "Books I Should Have Read

Entry number 500 in the "Books I Should Have Read Years Ago, SE You Absolute Numpty" category. I laughed. I cried. I worried. I leaned towards the pages as if I could physically *will* Christopher to stop being an oblivious idiot and just figure out that Beatrix was his mysterious, beloved letter writer all along. THE TENSION OMG. Best epistolary romance ever? Yes? I think so.

I'm a Tiffany Roberts stan and I pretty much refuse to apologise for this. Everyone needs a little fantasy romance in their life and @authortiffanyroberts writes the best. They (it's a husband/wife writing team) have more than 15 books published and they range all over from fantasy to tentacle SciFi to a mashup of fantastical futuristic alien romance and they've even written a menáge. I am FULL of recs if you're ever in the mood. Hit me up, I'm always happy to addict a new fan.
