Hello 🙂 I write sapphic romance 🌈📚 including the Oxford romance series.
It's a series of three romances that make one big sapphic saga, with the icing of a Christmas novella on top 🙂❤️

🌈 It's sapphic September and bi visibility month! 💕
I have a lot of books for this month if you fancied picking one up 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Here are some of the categories my sapphic romances (and one mystery) fit and which of my books feature bisexual main characters.

Well-deserved awards. Congratulations to Clare Ashton and if you haven't picked this one up, get it now! Absolutely worth your time. I love it so bloody much. You don't have to read it as part of the Oxford Romance series, it stands on its own, but I think you'll get a bit extra out of it if you do.
My sapphic romance with two, 50+ late bloomers won a couple of awards 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Discovering Nicola got bronze in the Ann Bannon popular vote and winner in Long Contemporary Romance at the @goldencrownls.bsky.social awards ❤️

Late bloomers sapphic romance 🌈📚
They're flawed, have made mistakes, they're in their 50s and look their age, I didn’t care if they were sexy to everyone, only if they were sexy to each other (and oh my...) And I've never had so much fun writing a book! 🙂
Kindle for 0.99 for the next week ❤️

“The Tell Tale” by Clare Ashton is one of my favorite reads.
It’s a sapphic historical mystery that is foreboding, very atmospheric, a bit creepy, and so well written. Laced with meaningful social commentary while the twists and turns make it a page turner too. 🌈📚

I have two books set in Wales so far - I always feel a pull back home and would love to set another there!
There’s sunny sapphic romance Poppy Jenkins. Then there’s the flipside – atmospheric mystery, The Tell Tale.

The Novella!!! Out now! It’s more Oxford series!! And it’s less than a $1. You can’t even get a semi-decent pastry for that and this will last longer! @clareashton.bsky.social
(For Canadians, it’s 1.50, which i understand you cannot get a donut from Tim Hortons for that.)

Day 10 (FR this time): favorite #sapphfic romance with older MCs. Discovering Nicola is third in a series by @clareashton.bsky.social, and I loved how it pulled it all together. Yes I'm closer in age to them than their daughters, whose romances are the first two books, but this one got me. 🌈📚
