In case you’re not on Threads, I told my wife some of y’all were thinking about Amara and River’s scalloped potato Friendsgiving dish, which I did not describe in full detail, so my wife said “challenge accepted” and hooked something up on the fly. If you want to read about it, pick up Sweet til It Burns: A Friendsgiving Romance. 😁 by @authorlmbennett

We are so excited to announce that authorlmbennett will be a signing author at Crave: Chapter One 🌈

I write indie Black Sapphic romance because I believe Black Queer women deserve stories that let them be messy, soft, stubborn and wholly themselves. I want Black Sapphic love to be portrayed as joyful, soulful, deep and beautifully complicated.

🎉RELEASE DAY🎉
Sweet 'til It Burns By L.M. Bennett L.M. Bennett

Some things take years. Some things take one Friendsgiving and too much wine.

Look, I've been in love with Hollis Cochran since college. Which is a problem, because she's my brother's best friend, she hosts a podcast about Black queer joy, and she's been rotating through girlfriends like a Spotify playlist while I've been over here stress-baking and pretending I don't memorize the sound of her laugh.

Then she goes on her show and confesses she's been wanting someone she can't have for years. Someone she's been too scared to ask for. Someone she's orbiting because actually going for it would ruin everything.

Cool. Great. Love that for her. Definitely not thinking about who that might be while I'm elbow-deep in mac and cheese prep.

It's Friendsgiving. My tiny Brooklyn kitchen is about to be full of friends, chaos, and Hollis actually showing up for the first time in months. Which means I've got approximately six hours to get my feelings under control before someone notices I've been pining like it's a full-time job. by @authorlmbennett
