A Farewell to Spooky Season (Until Next Year) 🎃 + Election Reflections

From Eden's Desk Dearest Readers, Halloween is behind us, and I can't help but feel a bittersweet pang at saying goodbye to spooky season. There’s something about this time of year—the shadows, the mysterious atmospheres, and the thrill of the unknown—that I always find hard to let go of.

It's the story of Isabella Montgomery, a young woman trapped in a gilded cage...

From Eden's Desk Dearest Readers, I can't believe it's the middle of June already! Time seems to be slipping through my fingers like fine sand. The 21st is hurtling toward me like a runaway train—that's launch day for the new book, in case you haven't heard! My desk is currently a chaotic reflection of this final sprint to the finish line. Picture a lap table crammed with my laptop, notes scribbled on scraps of paper threatening to take flight with the slightest breeze, and enough empty...

From Eden's Desk Dearest Readers, As we step into June, the air vibrates with the energy of Pride Month! This month holds a special significance for me, as it's a time to reflect on the journeys of countless Sapphic women who have paved the way for greater visibility and acceptance. It's a time to celebrate our identities, embrace our stories, and uplift one another. What does Pride Month mean to you? I'd love to hear your reflections in the comments! With love and appreciation, Eden Sales,...
