Anonymous asked:

are you still selling signed copies of your book?

When book 2 comes out I’m going to get another round of author copies of both books and I’ll be signing/sending a limited number of each. But not until then. I’ll make an announcement when that happens.

Also, Like You’ve Nothing Left to Prove has a publication date! March 15th!

Here’s the final cover :)

Ok I've received some messages asking about the cover design process for LRPD and it's really quite simple: I messaged @it-is-ineffable to see if they were open to a cover art commission like, yeah I want it to look something like this??

And Jick was like "Np. I got you":

And that turned into:

And we’ve been working on the cover for book two. In which I sent an even worse rough draft:

And Jick came back with:

lrpd lynltp author things mywriting cover reveal

writing update!

I just finished my re-writes/adding a few chapters to the second book after Like Real People Do (tentatively called Like You’ve Nothing Left to Prove). It’s due to my editor tomorrow so I’m cutting it a little close, heh. But I’ll give it a last read-through tomorrow and have it in on time. And then I can focus on fic again! Hooray! I should have a publication date and preorder link within the next week or two for LRPD as well. Eeeee!

Like Real People Do updates

Hello friends. I've been working with a wonderful artist/illustrator (a fan artist you might know, in fact) and will soon be able to reveal the cover for Like Real People Do! (like, within a few days!).

I also officially signed the contract for the second installment yesterday, but I need help! Since I had to break the fic version of LRPD up into two books (because it was 150k words, lol), I don't have a title for the second book yet. I'd like to use another song lyric*(possibly even another Hozier lyric) but I'm coming up with nothing. Does anyone have any ideas for me? If you send me a winner, I'll thank you by name in my acknowledgments. :)


*The reason I loved the song/title "Like Real People Do" is because I feel like that concept resonates with so many queer people who are closeted. Like. Damn. Why can't we just kiss like real people do? You know? For the second book, I want a title that has a bit more of a contentment, or like, victory vibe. If that makes sense. Like. Ha! Yes! We are kissing like real people do. And anyone who doesn't like it can fuck off. And we are happy.

You guys!! Ok first of all, several good suggestions here and I’m saving them for future book title ideas, but @what-the-flowers ’s suggestion feels PERFECT. Provided my editor agrees, I think we have a title for book 2!

Like You’ve Nothing Left to Prove.

Also just because I’m really excited about it: Here’s a sneak peek of the cover for LRPD. Can you guess who the artist is?
