I need to reconfigure the way I've set up my newsletter and Substack. Namely put the newsletter on a different provider, so if people actually want to be emailed about new blog posts on Substack they can be, while others can stick with just newsletters

New blog post is up! It's about the creation of ADORE and some trivia about the book, as well as cut content. reeselavine.com/blog/2026-08...

Happy one month of release to ADORE 🩷 I have a newsletter + blog post coming up that I had wanted to have ready by now, but it'll take a couple days more

A mock cover of sorts for my sapphic debut novella ADORE! It's a bit old (from late 2025) and unfinished, but may as well post it

Post-book release is such a strange time... after all that private work it's out in the world, and I get to (fingers crossed) see some readers trickling in, and all I can do is market a bit. It's time to continue on with my next book I suppose!

After nearly a year in the making, it's launch day!! 🥳🎉 I've officially debuted as an author!

The 8 day wait before my book releases is a bit agonizing... I've been busy finalizing it but it's all set to go now, and I actually got a few preorders, so I'm anticipating the launch!

New blog post! It's mostly me reflecting on modern day fanfic, particularly from a sapphic lens:

I got my final edit back and it is both very exciting as the story is reaching its polished form, and embarrassing to see my mistakes/repetitive wording aha

Hi! I'm Reese, a lesbian indie author who is preparing to release my debut novella, ADORE, on July 15.
It's a sapphic android mechanic/android sci-fi romance, and I'm trying to pick up a few more ARC Readers!

I've only been marketing for a week and it's already tiring...! My seeking ARC posts are stifled by anything algorithmic, which is most feeds these days. I'm very happy I got 20 ARC applicants somehow, though

My author website is officially up and connected to my domain! I also heard back about my ISBN after months, exciting ✨

I'm unsure how much I'll actually make use of this account, but since my first novella is entering its final phase before release, I suppose it's a good time to start being mildly active on social media. If anyone stumbles onto this one... hello!
