Turning 50 during one of the most beautiful weeks in Vermont - not a bad way to celebrate my birthday (and there are no tourists on my little dirt road!) 🥰🧡❤️🍁🎂

Did someone say fall in Vermont?! The foliage is starting to pop around here, and we've been gifted with an absolutely GORGEOUS weekend after a week or so of rain. Anyway, if you can't visit Vermont in person, here's your reminder that I've written two books chock full of Vermont fall vibes 🍁🧡🍎❤️🎃🧡🍂

When Imari accidentally runs into her childhood friend Cassidy at a fall festival she is shocked to find out that Cassidy has grown up into a sexy af butch. Imari is bi but she has never been with a woman but can't deny the growing chemistry between them. is.gd/bjElfS #wlwbooks #sapphicseptember

Happy #BiVisibilityDay from this very bisexual author who loves writing bisexual characters! 💗💜💙 Here are some of my books with bi rep: 💗 Learning Curves 💗 The View from the Top 💗 No Rings Attached 💗 Out of the Blue 💗 Lost in Paradise 💗 It's in Her Kiss 💗 Come Away with Me

❄️💗 NARRATOR REVEAL! 💗❄️ I am so happy to officially announce that the amazing @quinnrileyreads will be narrating the audiobook for 'Tis the Damn Season! I don't have to tell you how awesome she is, because you've probably already heard her on one of my other books.

Want to come meet me at a book signing in an apple orchard? 📚🍎❤️ When: September 26th, 10am-2pm Where: Ricker Hill Orchard, Turner, ME This is a free book signing with 25 participating authors and several bookish vendors! Hope to see you there! www.novellabooksmaine.com/events

For the weekend crowd, did you see the cover reveal for my upcoming holiday novella, 'Tis the Damn Season? It comes out on November 10th! The audiobook will follow a few weeks later. Gorgeous cover by @juniper.charm ❤️ Pre-order the ebook here: mybook.to/TTDS

Here we go - my first sapphic Christmas romance! How adorable is this cover? It's designed by the talented @juniper.charm, and I love it so much! 😍 Their grumpy expressions crack me up, and I'm obsessed with the color palette and the festive, wintery vibes.

Psst...I updated the events page on my website. I'm slowly working my way up to a more regular signing schedule (so I hope to add more to my 2027 calendar!) Will I see you at any of these? rachellacey.com/events/

Thank you @amazonpublishing.bsky.social for the gorgeous flowers to celebrate Learning Curves's Goldie win! Not only are they beautiful, they also color coordinate with the book perfectly 🧡💗🥰 Psst...for anyone who hasn't read it yet, the Learning Curves ebook is currently discounted to $2.49!

It's primary day here in VT. And no, I didn't vote twice - my 18yo went with me and cast his first vote! I can't say he's terribly optimistic about the current status of our country, he still enjoyed making his voice heard. I do think his generation has the power to change things, & I hope they do.

Been a minute since I shared any Willow content - enjoy my girl living her best life on the mountain 🐾❤️

This has been a tough year. I haven't felt much like celebrating, but I decided Learning Curves's Goldie win deserved some champagne, and it was a good decision! Cheers! 🥰🎉 And thanks so much for all your kind comments and messages - they made my day! ❤️

Just finished this by @rachelslacey.bsky.social Loved it! Always love the characters in Rachel's books and I always cry... a lot. Which shows just how good they are! 👭

Absolutely thrilled that Learning Curves won a @goldencrownls.bsky.social Goldie Award last night for Contemporary Romance - Long! This is one of the hardest books I've written, and also one I'm very proud of, so to see it win an award is really special. ❤️

Just a heads up that both of my academia books - Learning Curves and Margin of Error - are currently enrolled in Prime Reading (in the US, at least - I can't see Prime listings in other countries so you'll need to check!)
