Ooooh! I took this course (well, a version of this course) before I hit publish on my first book, and it was so helpful! Now it's all fancy and set up so you can start it literally whenever, instead of waiting for the next iteration. SWEET!!!

BAD BLOOD is a #RITAGH finalist in the novella category. So that just happened? My first nomination ever.

I run the Toronto RWA chap's pubbed author contest and am desperately in need of judges. Seeking authors, booksellers, librarians, seasoned reviewers. You read a PDF, return a numerical score, you have 2 mos to do it. DM or sign up here goo.gl/forms/zdmTXyAV… RTs appreciated ❤️

Speaking as an individual member of RWA, this really needs to happen.

Mimi Milan @piperhuguley Never entered. Knew better than to open my spirit to people who can’t fathom AOC having the nerve to take a seat at the table. I know my worth. Also know it’s easier for some RWA members to cling to ignorance rather than do something hard like actually reading an AOC romance.

This is a question all authors should ask themselves regularly. (If you can't think of any, WOCInRomance is a great account to follow for new releases)

You know what? She's right. And I feel a little foolish for not seeing it myself.

It's hard to recognize that you, a white woman, benefit from racism. It's hard to realize that privilege has helped you on your path. You're going to be made uncomfortable. But you have to. You have to face it. And then work to dismantle your privilege.

2019 was a busy year! I wrote a new Forbidden Bodyguards novel in March, WICKED SIN, and re-branded PAGE OF SWORDS. We also released our previously website-only PRIME MINISTER sequel, NEW YEAR'S EVE. And I wrote my final f/f short for ROGUE EVER AFTER.

Rude. Also, I don't think readers love it when I write daddy stuff anyway, that's best reserved for alter-alter ego secrets, but still... I have an idea. It may be niche?

Final update (for now): there's a Goodreads listing. I picked August as the tentative release date, because you need to put something, but that date is not carved in stone. This will be my NaNo project, and then I'll need to pause for Pine Harbour books. goodreads.com/book/show/5949…

So this happened two days ago. (Read the whole thread...) Now I'm on chapter three. This is going to be my NaNoWriMo project, and I'm so excited.

I'm still not really on Twitter on this account, but I am on TikTok. Sorry. ;) tiktok.com/@ainsleyboothw…
