We are beyond excited to officially announce our publishing partnership with author Dante Briggins @directorwriterdbriggins 📚❤️‍🔥

From the moment we read Crash, we knew this was a story readers wouldn’t be able to put down.

🔥 Addictive
🔥 Unforgettable

Crash is the kind of romance that stays with you long after the final page.

This partnership is the beginning of an incredible journey. We are honored to stand beside Dante as we bring this story to readers and celebrate the passion behind every page.

Here’s to new beginnings, unforgettable stories, and a publishing partnership built on creativity, connection, and the belief that great books deserve to be discovered. ✨

Welcome to the Iron Triangle Press family, Dante. ❤️‍🔥📖

The journey starts now… and we can’t wait to share what’s next! #irontrianglepress #newbook #romance #published #romancebookstagram ✨A huge shoutout to @belegrina for giving us the perfect excuse to slow down, grab a pastry, and fall headfirst into Crash… because every swoony romance deserves a deliciously good reading companion. 📖🔥

Historical fiction has always felt a little intimidating to me, but after meeting Jeza Belle, I went into this book with a lot more confidence. I can honestly say Secrets in the Tall Grass is one of the most intriguing and beautifully written stories I have ever read.

From the very first page, this is far more than historical fiction. It is a gripping thriller filled with murder, revenge, secrets, and a relentless chase across nineteenth century America. Every chapter left me eager to see what would happen next.

Phreddie is an unforgettable protagonist whose journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Watching her navigate a world determined to judge and destroy her simply because she is intersex made this story incredibly emotional while never sacrificing its fast pace. The multiple points of view added so much depth, allowing every character's motivations to unfold in ways that kept me invested from beginning to end. I found myself excited every time the perspective shifted because each voice brought something meaningful to the story.

Jeza Belle has crafted a novel that is suspenseful, emotionally charged, and impossible to put down. If you have ever been hesitant to pick up historical fiction like I have, let this be the book that changes your mind. I will absolutely be picking up the rest of this series, and I hope you will too.

Do i suddenly want to watch little house on the prairie?

What a truly special evening at Purple Couch Book Shop.

It was such a pleasure to welcome drag queen and author Jeza Belle alongside the fabulous MargOH! Channing for an evening of conversation, laughter, and community. Together we talked about books, queer life, the importance of representation, and the power of leading with love.

One of my favorite parts of the night was how natural everything felt. It never felt like a formal panel. It felt like sitting down with friends and having the kind of honest, funny, heartfelt conversation that stays with you long after it's over.

Thank you to everyone who came out, asked thoughtful questions, laughed with us, and helped create such a warm, welcoming space. I hope everyone left feeling seen, inspired, and reminded that stories and authentic voices truly matter.

Thank you, Jeza Belle and MargOH! Channing, for sharing your hearts with all of us. I can't wait to do it again.

Stopped by @purplecouchbookshop to pick up two books I had on order for upcoming events (@iamjezabelle ‘s event this Friday and @jennylhowe ‘s next month) and also picked up @paulgtremblay ‘s latest when I saw it on display.

Paul, if you haven’t yet visited Purple Couch Bookshop in N Andover, you should. Fantastic store and they’re a huge fan of your work!

Seen this trend so many times so thought I'd jump on🤣 have loved seeing the different ways people have done it💛 but who gives a fuck if people don't like your taste in books?! We all read different things because we are all different and that's okay, that's why books are written! Read whatever you want and enjoy every moment🥰💛
