@norashear.bsky.socialMy book No Dream Like Forever is out in PAPERBACK now & I'm so excited abt it:
@norashear.bsky.socialA4: I do! I think we all yearn for something, & touching on the many, many things we can yearn for helps us connect with our readers.

@norashear.bsky.socialOh yes. My 1st book, No Dream Like Forever, has lots of yearning, both physical & emotional.
In No Sky Like Midnight, there's less physical yearning (their 2nd meet is at a sex party, after all) but more emotional yearning.

@norashear.bsky.socialA2: In No Sky Like Midnight, my FMC Paige yearns both for safety & for someone to see her fully. My MMC Leo yearns for a world where everyone is left alone to live as they wish, & for someone he can trust to be real.

@zprospero.bsky.socialI think all of my characters yearn for some kind of freedom. Mainly, a freedom to be who they are.
Virgil found that with Lucifer, but his wrists are still shackled by mortality and work.
Tack, from "Blow Me Down," wants to share and protect the freedom he's built.
@glwalkerauthor.bsky.socialDeep in edits for book 1. I'm targeting June for release and I'm being "extra" with this so I've a lot still to do. this is the mood board for that. I have to fix the quote because i think i changed it recently, but it's the same idea.

@laurenpburka.bsky.socialMy muse needs a hot cup of angst to get out of bed in the morning. Yearning works. But I never got the hang of slow burns. My characters usually go straight for postorgasmic regret.

@laurenpburka.bsky.socialIn a novel I wrote last year, the two MC's spend 50k words masturbating while trying not to think of each other. It doesn't work, naturally. That one is coming out in May 2027.

@denise-ohio.bsky.socialFinished claim for Anthropic settlement. Book pub 2001 reverted to me in 2010 (I think) and pub wants most of the $. Guess the boss needs another helicopter. Dug thru old files, found the contract to support my claim.
I feel defeated fighting over such a small amount of $.
