Quidditch update: would just like to thank everyone that reached out to check on my guy this last week. I’m glad to say that he’s feeling a lot better 🤍
Background: he woke up on 10/23 with urine frequency and gross hematuria (blood in urine)
Diagnosis: severe UTI and bladder infection
Prognosis: He has been on antibiotics for over a week and is doing so much better! He even got to (reluctantly) put on his Halloween costume ☠️
Thanksgiving for the positive thoughts and well wishes! 22 days until his 20th Birthday 🎂 #sphynx #sphynxcat #quidditch #halloweeencatcostume #halloweencostumes by @authorsterlingbrown

Happy #nationalauthorsday to some authors out there that you need to put on your radar, if you don’t know their names already! This is my first National Author’s Day as a published author! 🥳
Happy reading! 📖

Help me celebrate @authorsterlingbrown debut romance novel: Petals & Thorns!!🥀🤍

This book was the perfect debut novel and I loved the fairytale retelling aspect of it!! There were moments where I recognized the parallels between this and the classic Beauty and the Beast story, which is my personal favorite!!! Sterling did a phenomenal job with bringing Isobel and Lucas’ story to life and I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It had the perfect amount of spice, tension and romance. The pacing was great as well! The suspense was also a nice touch and had me invested all throughout! Definitely give this one a read!

Grab it here & in KU

Thank you to @pageswithplant for this spooky season post idea! 🖤🖤🖤 by @authorsterlingbrown

I appreciate the move to fight against policies that could hurt artists, but it’s just too critical a time to blackout this account. We have a very important election coming up and my fellow indie authors, like myself, are trying to establish themselves in an already competitive market. I can’t afford for my silence to potentially have a negative effect on our rights, others careers or even my own debut romance, Petals and THORNS. I stand with you all but I cannot afford to be silent at this time. There’s just too much going on. Stay strong ✊🏾 Much love fam 🫶🏾 #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthor #indieauthors #debutnovel #debutromanceauthor by @authorsterlingbrown
