Release day today! 🎉 *Better With Kevin* is a novella-length return to Chipping Fairford to check in with Charlie and Kevin. There’s some kissing, some running and screaming, a bit of a tussle, and—for a refreshing change—a complete lack of dead bodies! #mmromance #romancelandia #romcom

The weekend is almost upon us, prepare the books and blankets! - Michael
Absolute peak Sunday yesterday—I had the whole day to myself, it was raining and grey outside so I got to put on fairy lights and make a cup of hot chocolate, and I sat watching the rain with a quilt around my shoulders and my Kindle good to go.
Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important.
Well well, I blogged again, once again surprising myself, and possibly also the people who subscribed to the website a couple of years ago and are now wondering what's going on with me that I'm all up in their inbox for the FOURTH time this month. isabelmurrayauthor.wordpress.com/2025/07/25/f...
I’m making the most of working outside before the sun hits my patio full on and I run screaming for the shade. That’ll happen in about 10 mins, by my guess. Juuuust enough time to repost this. (Because I *still* keep forgetting to use tags. 🤣) #mmromance #booksky

![The text above the image reads: Ever since I learned the word for a group of raccoons is a gaze, scenes from English literature take on whole new meanings. [laughing-emoji]
Within the image, there are four different scenes corresponding to different literary quotes. Number 1: "Your gaze is very direct, Miss Eyre" from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. In the picture, Jane Eyre is accompanied by a group of raccoons, one of whom has just said to Mr. Rochester, "We want food!" Number 2: "She returned his gaze" from Ian McEwan's Atonement shows a woman carrying a box full of raccoons back to her reluctant ex-boyfriend. Number 3: "His gaze was direct, holding my eyes" from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander shows a clustered group of racoons physically holding open a shocked woman's eyelids. And number 4: "That somber, thoughtful gaze of his did not leave her face. She did not find it embarrassing" from Agatha Christie's Towards Zero shows a woman on a sun-lounger with her face entirely covered by a swarm of raccoons.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rmjconpldkourhtggdcnweqf/bafkreicywseulbd5mze5cveupuljh3cqyga2556ijxkvvurbhvktma752y)
