maybe I’m punishing myself⠀ ⠀ there is no nourishment,⠀ everything tastes like ash—⠀ that’s all you are now⠀ ⠀ so I choose dark night—⠀ starvation⠀ ⠀ crescent moon belly⠀ where you wailed⠀ and I held you⠀ ⠀ maybe I’m punishing myself⠀ for outliving you⠀ ⠀ there is no color,⠀ you saw none in the end⠀ so I darken my lids⠀ ⠀ everything looks like you never ⠀ coming back⠀ ⠀ I want to blow away⠀ like warm ash

“I love you. I love you, Sloane. I’m not staying for you. But I’m staying because you’ve made me remember who I was. So I want you to get up here on this pool table and fuck me like it’s love. Fuck me likes it’s real, because I can feel it is. I could feel it before you even said the words.”⁠ ⁠ Link in bio to meet Sophie and Sloane!⁠ ⁠ #amwritingromance #indieauthorsofinstagram #reading #smalltownromance #slowburn #bookaholic ⁠ #romancebooks #romancenovel #bookishlove #booked #books #bookhoarder #bookaddiction #bookseries ⁠ #readingisfundamental #readingislife #authorsofig #authorslife #indieauthors #bestsellingauthor ⁠ #selfpublishedauthor #romanceauthor #authorsofinsta #authorofinstagram #amazonkindle ⁠ #kindleunlimitedbooks #kindlebooks #kindlereads #amazonkindlebooks #kindleromance

On January 23rd, my birthday, I'll be releasing a micro chapbook titled Poems for the Moon: Vol 2!⁠ ⁠ BUT you can buy it NOW exclusively on Smashwords via the link in my bio!

I still remember the moment I wrote that line, the way it felt to imagine his man who loved a woman since he was a boy, seeing her picture in his best friend's house. Chace is gentle, the quiet kind of romance many crave. His love is in the living, the way he behaves, the way he worships Sera.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can purchase Burning Muses via the link in my bio. Catch up on the Muse & Music series before Blind Melody comes out this Spring!

Have you seen @kat.savage's new For Now cover?⁠ ⁠ You can grab her debut via the link in my bio.⁠ ⁠ 💋 Romantic Suspense⁠ 🌸 Single Dad⁠ 🥠 Angsty Feels⁠ 📚 Slow Burn⁠ 🖤 Dark Past⁠ ⁠ ❝ Delilah Spencer finds herself alone and starting over in her best friend's city. It's what life calls for right now. With a violent, painful past to put behind her—and a lot of moving on to do—she has no intention of letting anyone new in.⁠ ⁠ Samuel Young used to feel the same way. Now, the single father accepts his past for what it is. He's just trying to find some happiness—outside of raising his young son.⁠ ⁠ When he thinks he's found it with Delilah, she's not convinced. As the two begin to push and pull, unforeseen circumstances only complicate things further.⁠ ⁠ In a world where everyone has a past, what happens when they collide in the present? ❞

This was the hardest collection for me to publish.⁠ ⁠ Link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #amwritingromance #booksofig #indieauthorsofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #reading #poemsofinstagram ⁠ #poetsofinstagram #poetrybooks #poetsofig #poem #poet #poetryisnotdead #poets #poetryislove #poetrylove #poetrylover #poetryisart #poetryoftheday #poetrytribe #poetryaccount #poetryloving #poetrybyme ⁠ #poetryofinsta #romanticpoetry #poetryworld #shortpoetry #poetryandlove #newschoolpoetry #poetrycommunityofig #spilledwords

I'm not immune to reflecting on the last decade. Picking apart my past for the written word is my trade. ⁠ In 2009 I was living along in a little double-wide trailer, reading books by lamplight. I was desperately in love with someone who wasn't in love with me, even though I was dating another guy. (I detailed everything in Kiss Me Like You Mean It.)⁠ I was wishing for a life I never thought I would have.⁠ Two years later, I started writing my debut novel, just as I was coming to terms with the fact that I could no longer deny the strange memories on the fringes of my mind. ⁠ In 2012 I said out loud, "I think I was molested." And my life changed. I wrote that story out over and over. And you told me your stories.⁠ In 2014 I started this Instagram page and told no one in my real life at first. I posted snippets of my heart, and you listened, giving me the courage to share more with the world.⁠ In 2015 I published my first poetry collection, the first of three that would be a Goodreads Choice Nominee.⁠ In 2016 I published my first novel and went to my first book signing as an author.⁠ I started this decade battling anxiety and depression while having no name for it. ⁠ In 2018 I started seeing a therapist weekly.⁠ I started this decade with a secret in my throat, and I end it knowing there is no battle I cannot win.⁠ I am so excited for the next decade. I am excited for the stories I'll tell, and the experiences I'll be a part of.⁠ I'm just, excited.⁠ ⁠ What are you excited for?⁠ ⁠ ɪ ᴅɪᴅ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ᴛʜᴇ sɴɪᴘᴘᴇᴛ ᴏғ ᴛᴇxᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʜᴏᴛᴏ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ᴄʀᴇᴅɪᴛ ғᴏʀ ɪᴛ.⁠ ⁠
