Books by my brilliant friends

My hearts, happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Every June, I get to do one of my favorite things—celebrate the queer stories that make this community so vibrant and the writers who make me proud to be part of it. This year, I’m shouting out some of my favorite indie authors, friends, and colleagues whose words fill my heart, my bookshelf, and my DMs.

Support indie authors. Buy their books. Leave reviews. Tell your friends. (And if you’ve already read their work—tell me! I love hearing which ones stole your heart first.)

Inspired by the story of Eve, When Ivy Met Adam is a modern love story about forgiveness, transformation, and the courage to love again—perfect for readers who like their romance tender, funny, and full of faith in the divine spark between us.

This Pride, fill your shelves (and your heart) with stories that celebrate love in all its forms. 🌈
