To celebrate Pride month I have created (along with my designer Cover Me Darling) a brand new all-inclusive reader journal, Hearts Not Parts
As we know, I write MM romance (as well as MF) and it’s a community I really love and a community that has always been so good to me. I really wanted to create a reader journal for those who love to read LGBTQIA+ and something all-inclusive.
For the design I wanted to do a skeleton theme because it shows who we all are underneath.
So we have two skeletons embracing on the cover and then little skeletons randomly in the interior that are doing different poses. It’s fun to flip through and see what they will be doing next!
And of course, there are also some quotes from some of my MM novels inside.
Another thing I added to this journal was a glossary of commonly used terms in the LGBTQIA+ community because the more we know, the more we can grow!
Special thanks to Marisa at Cover Me Darling, LLC for the amazing design.
Also to my friend, Mario Antonio Vidal-Sandoval who was a powerhouse in helping me with the glossary.
