Sometimes you just have to stop and watch a cult classic you love. If you know me, you know the movie. #therecanbeonlyone #givemetheprize #princesoftheuniverse

Friday spotlight: Love of a Samurai. Helena survives a massacre and ends up the only foreigner in a hidden mountain village. Ujio is ordered to train her and expects disobedience. Gets a woman who matches him instead. Quieter book, hits harder for it. #RomanceAwarenessMonth

Unpopular opinion: the epilogue isn't always necessary. HFN with the door left open is sometimes more romantic than tying it all up with a wedding and two kids. Come at me. #RomanceAwarenessMonth #UnpopularOpinion #RomanceReaders

Deep in medieval England research for "Rowan of Aquitaine." The Robin Hood story is largely a later romanticization. The real politics of the era were far messier. That complexity is exactly what I'm building her world on. #RomanceAwarenessMonth #HistoricalResearch #UpcomingNovel

Forced proximity works because it removes the escape hatch. No ghosting, no exit. Lana books a cabin for solitude, the rental's double-booked, Ren's already there and staying. That's the whole engine of "Soft Like Summer." #RomanceAwarenessMonth #RomanceTropes

This week I spent four hours researching pirate ship rigging terminology for one sentence in the book. Not wasted. Knowing the world that specifically is the difference between confident writing and vague gesturing. Readers can tell. #WritingProcess #AuthorLife #WritingResearch

Happy National Book Lovers Day. What book made you a reader — not one you liked, the one that flipped the switch permanently? Mine gets more specific than I have characters for. Tell me yours. #NationalBookLoversDay #RomanceAwarenessMonth #ReadingLife #BookCommunity

Tomorrow's National Book Lovers Day. Today's confession: my TBR pile has developed its own gravity. What's the oldest book on yours? #RomanceAwarenessMonth #TBR #authorlife

Spotlight on Agents of STARR: spy thriller romance where the characters are broken down by their work and rebuild themselves — and their trust — in the middle of missions with no clean edges. Start with Inside the Killbox. #agentsofstarr #spyromance #RomanceAwarenessMonth

This or that. Answer fast, no thinking allowed. #RomanceAwarenessMonth #thisorthat #authorlife

1725 pirate crews operated under written 'ship's articles': elected captains that could be voted out and actual injury compensation. Not chaos. A system. That's the world Branwyn St. Pierre runs. #RomanceAwarenessMonth #pirateromance #authorlife

Enemies to lovers isn't about hatred. It's about two people so evenly matched that the friction becomes unbearable and the only release is to stop fighting. That's Olivia and Ethan in "Hot Temptation," stranded on his island, pretense gone. #RomanceAwarenessMonth

30+ books in and the blank page still ambushes me like it's never seen me before. Today's fix: write a bad sentence, not a good one. The page stops being blank. That's the whole battle. #RomanceAwarenessMonth #tipsandtricks #writing #authorlife

Second-chance romance is the hardest trope to pull off and the one I'll never stop writing. They know exactly why it fell apart the first time and choose to try anyway. That's not a redo. That's bravery. #RomanceAwarenessMonth #secondchanceromance #authorlife
