Poppy Minnix (she/her) writes spicy romance with heart, heat, and more than a few laugh-out-loud moments. A Maryland-based author, she's a proud ally, enthusiastic hugger, and certified hot mess powered by ADHD and caffeine.

As a mood writer, she long ago gave up resisting the voices in her head (aka: characters who demand the spotlight). Whether she’s letting a fae muse hijack her thoughts or adding a dash of chaos, humor, and unexpected love interests to her contemporary plots, she’s all about embracing the messy, magical journey of falling in love.

When she’s not writing, you’ll find her wrapped in a blanket cocoon, plotting with fellow romance nerds, or trying to remember why she walked into a room.
Warning: Her books contain varying degre

I get to create a world! And people!
Then I get to torture those amazing people with a series of trials until they're broken down enough to allow a great change to happen in their lives and the world around them. It is such a blast.
Beyond the whole ease-my-creative-brain-with-full-scale-world-building thing, writing is flexible for me. I can wake up and throw down words, play with the kiddos and brainstorm, and edit late into the night. It fits me. (less)

Great question!! Since only book one is out, I'm going to say Rath.

He started as a bad boy foil to Alex when he first walked into the scene, but as his backstory unraveled, I realized how many strengths he had and how much the others need him. He's become my favorite wounded rebel and his story arc has a ways to go. (less)

New Pen Name Confession... I mean Announcement!

Alright, so it's not exactly entirely new.

You all... I did a thing.

I had a concept in my mind that wouldn't fit under my work, but it also wouldn't leave me be. I have a couple that didn't want to be a couple. They wanted to be a throuple. Yep... I went menage. Not just menage but like... a bowl of spicy peppers menage.

So as an experiment, I started writing it down, and, holy moly was it super fun Read more of this blog post »

Poppy Minnix is 35% done with How We Burn: This is what I’ve been missing—this feeling of complete freedom with someone who elevates my energy. Someone I can be playful with in the spotlight. I wish Zephryn were here. I wish he wanted to be in the spotlight with us.

Editing is coming along! This one is a beast, but geez, the feels that are coming out in edits are so fun!

kittykat AKA Ms. Tortitude Hi Poppy,

Thx for the friendvite BTW.

So Different by Ruthie Robinson This is the only one-off Roller Derby one-off character I recall for the moment, although I'm sure I've read a couple of others. BUT...

Shelley Laurenston's fantastic Pride series has a couple of BOMB RD ladies. Gwen and Blayne, the FMC's of books 4 and 5 are also a couple of BFF's who are PLUMBERS! in their day jobs, and both end up on the local shifter RD team by night. The team they play on pops up a number of times across the series as a sholw, but also it includes female players on the shifter ice hockey team too! See my major gush over the series here. My only caveat is that her humour is really polarising, but I obviously love it.


Ꮗ€♫◗☿ ❤️ ilikebooksbest.com ❤️ Poppy,
I look forward to our interactions.
