Celebrate Sapphic Stories: Join the Book Bingo Fun!


From Eden's Desk

Dear Reader,

Can you believe we’re already halfway through January? Time seems to fly, and it’s a reminder of how easy it is to lose track of our goals. This year, I’m working hard to stay focused so I can bring more of my creative plans to life. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, and I’m thrilled to share some of the stories I’ve been crafting.

First up is The Prophecy of Venice, the epic conclusion to the trilogy. I can’t wait for you to experience how the story comes full circle—there are moments in this book that have stayed with me, and I hope they’ll resonate with you too. But that’s not all! I’ll also be adding to my pirate series (yes, more high-seas sapphic adventure is coming!) and exploring a darker, romantic Mafia tale. Think Bound meets the 1930s—gritty, passionate, and full of twists.

One thing I’m excited about this month is participating in Sapphic Book Bingo 2025, a fun way to celebrate WLW stories while discovering new books and authors. As someone who loves amplifying sapphic voices and exploring WLW history, this challenge feels like the perfect fit. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’ll include more details below so you can join in too. Let’s fill those Bingo cards together!

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Whether you’re setting big goals or simply taking things one step at a time, I hope this year brings you joy, love, and plenty of sapphic stories to savor.

With love and gratitude,
Eden

From Eden's Desk Dearest Readers, As I write to you from my sailboat, my floating home, I’m reminded how much life at sea shapes my stories—especially the pirate ones. Sailing from Maine to Panama, I’ve experienced places that whisper history and magic. One of my favorite memories is seeing Providencia, Colombia, for the first time—a perfect tropical island rising from turquoise water, its palm-crowned mountain everything I dreamed paradise could be. Moments like that often sail into my...

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. For me, it's not just about ghosts and costumes, but the feeling of stepping into stories where the veil between worlds feels just a bit thinner, where anything seems possible. As we move from the whimsical...

From Eden's Desk Hey there, readers! August has been… interesting, to say the least. If I’m being honest, Im enjoying a much-needed break. My entire family headed off for a reunion, and for the sake of my mental well-being, I opted out. Navigating family dynamics can be tough, especially when it involves setting boundaries with people you love. So, I’ve been taking advantage of the quiet time to recharge. That means slow, intentional cleaning (battling the cats for supremacy, of course... and...
