Book cover for This Time, Next Year
Finn follows me without question. He walks with me exactly as I predicted. My hand on his wrist, his pulse just there beneath my fingers, his hand at my back, a firmer presence than I’d thought, warmer than I could have imagined.

“My friend’s mum said he’s very handsome. He’s quite old.” A regretful addendum. “But I think he is handsome. It’s a pity you’re Uncle Nick’s cake, or maybe you could be my dad’s girlfriend.”
Lucy Parker, Headliners

Alyssa Cole
“Sydney.” Theo is grinning as he calls my attention back to him, though his eyes are somber. “I need you to channel the confidence of a mediocre white man. I’ll give you mine. We’ll figure it out because we don’t have any other choice.”
Alyssa Cole, When No One Is Watching

Katrina Jackson
“I feel very Eat, Pray, Love right now, but specifically that scene in the movie where Julia Roberts just cries. Yeah. I feel like that but Black and tipsy.”
Katrina Jackson, The Hitman

Carole V. Bell
“There’s much more to black history than pain and hard times, and romance authors, more than anyone else, know it. A writer friend told me that’s what he thinks some people outside of the culture don’t get about blackness: the sheer joy of it, especially given so many are only fixated on the struggle. Black romance thrives on complexity and nuance, on black solidarity and achievement, on the triumph of everyday life lived well, in spite of the odds.
-Black Romance Novels Matter Too. Shondaland 2/22/20”
Carole V. Bell

“What good is a coherent narrative if people don’t want to hear it? Because trauma won’t leave you alone until you feel safe, and safety is not something that an individual can summon on their own. Safety is not a gun. Safety is being able to trust that those around you WANT to protect you from harm. But if those around you don’t believe you are “like them,” then they will focus on the discomfort you make them feel, and that discomfort is not a safe space.”
Hannah Gadsby, Ten Steps to Nanette
