Little Love Notes:

📖 Love and Pickleball is a steamy reverse age-gap sports romance in which a cinnamon roll pickleball coach falls for the sexy crossword-obsessed older woman, featuring found family, bad pickle-puns, and solvable crossword puzzles! For all my monster smut readers…. I went backpacking in Yellowstone and watched the Lone Star Geyser erupt. Took a video for you. Totally innocent. Nothing to see here. Side note, are you planning to watch the Wicker movie when it comes out? #justforfun #bookstagram NEW CHARACTER ART! Check out this amazing illustration by @searland_art of Hayden and Celeste playing around on the pickleball court! Hayden helps Celeste find joy again -- play is so important to our souls. He's funny and fun, emotionally mature and patient, helping her emerge from her shell and rediscover herself. This illustration perfectly captures that spirit of joy! Sunset from a view park in Seattle today. Yes, the water is really that red, maybe even redder irl. It was sobering. Hauntingly beautiful but devastating. Makes me want to either cry or work on the reissue of Hearts of Darkness, my apocalyptic paranormal romance set in an alternate—gritty, ghostly, and gaslamp—Seattle. Check out today’s newsletter for my thoughts on what we can do when the world feels radioactive: https://substack.com/@kirabrady August makes me want to work on reissuing Hearts of Darkness, my apocalyptic paranormal romance set in an alternate Seattle. Tips more gritty urban fantasy than romance. Dragon shifters, wraiths, and an army of the undead. Should I make this photo my new cover? From tonight’s smoke-filled sunset, taken with my phone from a view park in Seattle. No filter. The sun and water are really that red. Wildfire season is upon us in Salmon Bay, but even in the darkest of times, there’s hope. Check out my newest newsletter on substack for local celebrity gossip, Romancelandia chatter I’m excited about, and BONUS CONTENT: the new first chapter of Hearts of Darkness! The new pickleball movie, THE DINK, is now streaming on @appletv !!! Ben Stiller’s new underdog sport comedy is hopefully as good as his Dodgeball hit. Have you seen it??? Want to know what to read next to get even more ROM in your pickleball com? Check out one of these fabulous Pickleball Romance Novels — comedy, spice, and guaranteed happily ever afters! Q: What’s the difference between tennis and pickleball? While in Alaska I got to stop by Anchorage’s romance bookstore, @beautyandthebook.ak !! I love visiting bookstores when I travel, and getting to meet the romance community everywhere I fills my heart with joy. #romancebookstore #anchorage #literarytourism #booklover
