This is the biggest book I’ve ever written. I didn’t set out to do that. But I guess when you end up with two POV protagonists with big personalities, that can happen. 🤣 This one has been a journey. It’s a lot more epic than it’s predecessor, a lot spicier 🌶, and there’s a ton more magic. It’s also all about flipping fantasy and romance tropes. Not to mention, no book has ever made me lose as much sleep as this one! So much emotion. Hwyfar and Gawain are itching to tell you their stories. #authorsofinstagram #authorlife #arthurianlegend #kingarthur #fantasy #fantasyromance #fantasyromancebooks #instabooks

Hi. I’m here. I got a new phone and snapped this picture. This tshirt is my all time favorite. It’s thrifted, from @hm, and just the best green. I’ve probably washed it over 100 times. Putting it on makes me feel better, even on crap days. And there have been a lot of crap days lately… which are not likely to get better soon. My amazing dad is fighting a second kind of cancer. He’s already been sick for 35 years, with a multiplicity of rare diseases. So I’ve had a lot on my mind. No, a nice old T-shirt doesn’t make all of that better, but it did give me a moment’s comfort. A bit of familiarity during a time that’s feeling progressively more alien (and yet hauntingly like deja vu). As October roars past, be kind to yourself. Start there. #october #autumn #selfcare #family #deepthoughts #writersofinstagram #writing

Gowns like this make my heart flutter. This is no little black dress. This is a whole situation. The way the satin shimmers and folds, the way the lace absorbs the light… it dates to 1894-96, and is from New York. Via the Met. The sleeves are known as “leg o’mutton” for their iconic shape. #fashionhistory #threadtalk #satin #blackdresses #silk #victorian #victoriandress

Every Monday evening, I dig into fashion history topics. This upcoming week, it’s #laborday and the topic is apropos. Hop on over and learn about the people behind high fashion, the cost of couture, and how it’s still happening today. #fashionhistory #fashionhistorian #clothing #textiles #history #threadtalk

A little late bloomer in the garden. Such a vivid purple, reminds me of aniline dye gowns from the Victorian era. But natural! This is a princess flower, Tibouchina urvilleana. #gardening #flowers #flowerstagram #blossom #gardensofinstagram

It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve been here, but I still feel so lucky to be able to visit #switzerland time and again. I never tire of the beauty. There is truly something remarkable about being able to visit a place many times, like returning to a dear friend, and Switzerland is one of the most beautiful places in earth. That I count myself lucky is an understatement. After the last 18 months, I’m at a loss for words. #travel #zugersee #suisse #worktrip
