Happy Tuesday IG.⠀ ⠀ It's raining and stormy here, again. Which makes for perfect writing weather. Just in time for me to start a new WIP. I'm writing about something I've been avoiding for a year, so I'm both excited and terrified.⠀ I have BIG writing goals this year so that means there is no time for fear.⠀ ⠀ What do you consider your biggest achievement?

we're the poets we’re the singers the liars the leavers we'll tell you we love you on the page, in the chorus after it's too late in the light our art looks best in #jrrogue

★★★ COVER REVEAL ★★★⠀ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴛ ʙᴇʟᴏᴡ ᴛᴇʟʟɪɴɢ ᴍᴇ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ғᴏʀ ᴀ ᴄʜᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡɪɴ ᴀɴ ᴀʀᴄ!⠀ Cover by @murphyrae_ ⠀ ⠀ ❝ Some love affairs aren’t meant for the public eye. Some love affairs won’t survive the fallout.⠀ ⠀ Calliope das Dores is not the perfect rebound, even if her name means “muse”. She is not who I should be running to. But I want her anyway.⠀ ⠀ She keeps telling me my squeaky-clean image can’t handle the scandal, but this want between us is not black and white, and it never will be.⠀ ⠀ I don’t care that she’s my uncle’s wife—or that she shares my last name. After finding my girlfriend in bed with my uncle at the end of my worldwide tour, the truth is clear: Calliope and I are the only family we both have left now.⠀ ⠀ In the beginning, after flying to the Ozarks to tell her of our partners’ sins, I tell myself it’s just so she won’t hear it from someone who would lie to her. But my manager and best friend say I’ve wanted her since I was a kid, and now, finally, she is allowed to want me back.⠀ ⠀ She says we can get over them with each other—even if it’s in secret, for a summer—but I have to promise her I won’t fall in love. It’s not part of the plan. The details in our past deny us of any future we could have had.⠀ ⠀ What starts out as a rebound for both of us eventually consumes me. But the flames don’t reach her.⠀ ⠀ My muse is consumed, too. But not with me. ❞

“ She tasted him then, his neck and his salt. His innocence and the way his energy—good or bad—seeped into her soul. ⠀ ⠀ She could feel him when he didn't touch her. She could feel him through his songs, through his voice. ”⠀ ⠀ #therebound⠀ ⠀ What are you reading right now? I’ll pick someone to win an ARC of The Rebound from the comments and send tomorrow! ⠀

This cover is giving me so much life right now!⠀ Check the link in @bookofthemonth’s bio for details in grabbing Necessary People. ⠀ ⠀ “One of them has it all. One of them wants it all. But they can't both win. ⠀ ⠀ Stella and Violet are best friends, and from the moment they met in college, they knew their roles. Beautiful, privileged, and reckless Stella lives in the spotlight. Hardworking, laser-focused Violet stays behind the scenes, always ready to clean up the mess that Stella inevitably leaves in her wake.⠀ ⠀ After graduation, Violet moves to New York and lands a job in cable news, where she works her way up from intern to assistant to producer, and to a life where she's finally free from Stella's shadow. In this fast-paced world, Violet thrives, and her ambitions grow---but everything is jeopardized when Stella, envious of Violet's new life, uses her connections, beauty, and charisma to get hired at the same network. Stella soon moves in front of the camera, becoming the public face of the stories that Violet has worked tirelessly to produce---and taking all the credit.⠀ ⠀ Stella might be the one with the rich family and the right friends, but Violet isn't giving up so easily. As she and Stella strive for success, each reveals just how far she'll go to get what she wants--even if it means destroying the other person along the way.”

There’s a ring of dominos around me. ⠀ Carefully placed. ⠀ ⠀ Last night one tumbled, ⠀ leading me back ⠀ to this feeling.

It's been raining a lot here in Missouri, so things are especially green, as you can see.⠀ ⠀ Have you picked a BOTM book yet? I do enjoy reading books about World War II, and The Flight Portfolio has me intrigued.⠀ ⠀ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨-𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵-𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘝𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘳𝘺'𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘵.⠀ ⠀ Do you enjoy historical books? If so, what would you recommend?

my mother always ⠀ told me I had piano hands—⠀ my fingers are long, ⠀ my hands too large for ⠀ someone so tiny ⠀ ⠀ but I never learned to play, ⠀ not the piano anyway ⠀ ⠀ I’d rather run ⠀ them along you, ⠀ ⠀ the music I pull forth ⠀ from your lips & ⠀ your skin dances in chorus ⠀ with my own sighs ⠀ & keens ⠀ ⠀ I have piano hands, ⠀ & you have keys hidden ⠀ in so many ⠀ seductive places

Have you picked your BOTM book yet? The Kiss Quotient #2, The Bride Test can be yours by joining! I am so in love with illustrated covers.⠀ ⠀ Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but not big, important emotions—like grief. And love. He thinks he’s defective. His family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.⠀ ⠀ As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can’t turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn’t go as planned. Esme’s lessons in love seem to be working…but only on herself. She’s hopelessly smitten with a man who’s convinced he can never return her affection.⠀ ⠀ With Esme’s time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he’s been wrong all along. And there’s more than one way to love.

I love asking this question.

Signed books at this beauty today.

Because I don’t believe ⠀ we are messy at all. ⠀ I believe society has told ⠀ us who they believe we are. ⠀ ⠀ & that is a completely different thing. ⠀ ⠀ #repost
