Do you write #HistoricalRomance ? Find out what the @HarlequinBooks Historical editors are looking for! bit.ly/2S96kX0

There's a lot of overlap here with my own historical romance #mswl. I have been begging for what feels like forever for a Regency centered on South Asian protags. And a 1950s historical romance? *swoons*

Since my call for poisoned pastry shop stories has let to fantastic results, another #MSWL: please send me your adult/YA/crossover books starring a grownup Kristy Thomas from The Babysitters Club. You know, bossy, badass, wears baseball tees, detail-oriented, clearly queer...

I also love authors who play in Lovecraft’s pool! Send me your cosmic horror, especially if you have a twist on it ol’ HP would hate! (I’m looking at you women and #ownvoices authors!) #mswl

For historical fiction, I want a story I haven’t seen a million times. I recently read and adored @KYBookWoman’s Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - something like this! Pack horse librarians AND blue people of KY. I’d never seen these stories! #mswl

Finally saw Midsommar last weekend. Still thinking about this scene.

What I loved about it is that the horror is always out in the open. There's no dark. You can't turn away. And what's scariest sometimes is what you can see and not ignore.

My #MSWL is pretty up to date except to say that I’m opening up to graphic novels (author/illustrators)

And I’d very much love a gay “Bring it On” type book where rival cheerleaders hook up (and aren’t the cliche mean cheerleaders) cheering is hard af - show me that ❤️
