HaBO: She Falls for Her Late Dad’s Best Friend

This HaBO is from Alyssa, who wants to find age-gap romance. Trigger warnings for pregnancy complications in the description below: I’m going out of my mind not being able to find this book again! I read it last year on Kindle Unlimited and I can’t find it anywhere. Its not really all that dark but more of a taboo relationship. It’s an age-gap romance. I think there’s like a 15-16 year age gap and the … Continue reading HaBO: She Falls for Her Late Dad’s Best Friend

Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival Recap

Sheep and Wool Festivals (there’s one for NY and MD too) are different than yarn shows and cons. One of the reasons I love Sheep and Wool Festivals is that you get to experience the process of fiber arts from … Continue reading Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival Recap

581. Death, Candy Corn, and Witches with Amanda and Maria Vale

 Several years ago, Amanda had coffee with Maria Vale at a conference, and Maria mentioned a book she was working on that sounded really cool. And now, Molly Molloy and the Angel of Death is available to read! So we got together to talk about the book, what it’s like to write something that feels risky, different, and comes with warnings about HEA-expectations. This becomes a conversation about the HEA, how it works, and how … Continue reading 581. Death, Candy Corn, and Witches with Amanda and Maria Vale
