If you “make” anything with generative AI you didn’t actually make anything at all. You put a prompt into a theft machine. Ordering dinner at a restaurant doesn’t make you a chef and telling a computer program to spit out a story it learned by studying stolen books does not make you an author! #🚫AI #AuthorLife #HumanAuthors

📚Falling For You by Mariah Ankenman What do you do when a ghost is haunting your attic? For Tally, the answer is simple: enlist the help of her grumpy, yet capable, neighbor Ruby. The woman who does all the maintenance around the apartment complex hasn’t said more than a dozen words to her in the two years they’ve known each other, but that’s all about to change. Ruby knows two things. One, seven in the morning is too early to be woken up by her annoyingly cheerful neighbor. And two, ghosts don’t exist. Tally might be beautiful, but the aerialist had some strange ideas about the sounds coming from the attic. Ghosts? More like rats. When a late-night ghost hunt ends in injury, the two grow closer. But will their differences lead to a happily ever after, or is their love as doomed as the ghost who haunts their attic?

If you see a few typos in a book that’s already published please, please do not email the author unless they asked you to. Especially when it’s a traditionally published book and we can’t do anything about those errors (also half the time these people emailing saying we miss placed a comma are wrong). Trust me my book has been through 6 rounds of editing, if a typo made it through it deserves to be there😂 #Typo #AuthorLife #Bookish

Always such a weird question. No one asks why authors keep writing able-bodied characters so why do they get their bookmarks in a bunch when disabled authors rep their community? You don’t have to read my books if you don’t like them but I’m gonna keep writing disabled characters getting their Happily Ever Afters! #DisabilityInRomance #DisabledAuthor #RomanceBooks

We love a hero who accepts a challenge🥰 📚Perfect Imperfections by Mariah Ankenman When life is a ball of anxiety, it’s hard to form relationships. That’s why Ellie Clark prefers animals to people. As one of the head aviary keepers at the Sunlight Zoo, she enjoys spending her days with the feathery friends who don’t judge her OCD compulsions. So, when she saves a child who falls into the penguin pool, Ellie finds it strange she ends up connecting with the young girl. Stranger still is this burning attraction to the young girl’s handsome father.   Dr. Sullivan Green had been taking care of his daughter on his own since his ex-wife left. Charlotte is the top priority in his life. All his care and focus centers on her. But for the first time in years, he feels a yearning to take something for himself. The woman who saved his daughter intrigues him and wakes up something he thought long dead. Something he isn’t sure he can survive again.   The more time Ellie and Sullivan spend together, the more the heat between them builds. Passion ignites, but that’s not all. They discover the bumpy, broken pieces of themselves fit perfectly to form a beautiful picture. One filled with love, family, and acceptance. But are they brave enough to take a risk on love when heartache is always lurking in the shadows?
