What a week! Atlanta! Awards! Galas! BookCon! A book coming this October!

Here are Rachel’s and Jacob’s speeches at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Services Center Dinner.

I did not think I would make it to Atlanta for the Heated Rivalry event, but I did! Here are some photos from my time with Mara (Heated Rivalry Updates), Jordan (my podcast buddy), my friend Semra, and the Heated Rivalry guys. I have a signed hat from the guys and a signed book by them, Rachel, Hudson, and Connor that will be up for grabs in a fundraiser once we get the recipient figured out.

Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) are two of the biggest stars in Major League Hockey, bound by ambition, rivalry and a magnetic pull neither of them fully understands. What begins as a secret fling between two rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial and self-discovery. Over the next eight years, the pair chase glory on the ice while struggling to navigate their feelings off it. Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there’s room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile and as powerful as real love.

Here is Rachel and Jacob’s panel at Bookcon with host Versha Sharma.
