Happy Friday! Please be patient with us. We are in transition. After 10 years at the helm, @RodriguezCindyL has decided to step away to focus on her new job, family, and personal writing projects. Someone new is taking over, but that is still in the works. More to come soon!

Perhaps one of the most daring romances of the year […] both poignant and vulnerable, Ander & Santi Were Here asks readers what does home really mean? Is it a place, person, or both?

ALL the feelings when I see a stack of my books but here’s what makes this stack I signed extra special—each year I’ve had a book out, someone’s asked, “Will you be at the @NTTBFest ?” THIS IS MY 1ST TIME BEING INVITED! Feeling ALL THE THINGS, especially grateful🙏🏽. Day 2 today!
