Love is Love: Embracing Every Romance Story

What does Love is Love mean to a spicy romance author?

Every story, queer, straight, poly, or undefines, deserves its happy ending.

There aren’t limits on who gets to fall, burn, ache, or belong.

Every kind of love matters on the page.

I write romance because love is love. No exceptions. Just heart.

This spicy author and fierce ally is here for the love, the heat, and the freedom to be unapologetically you.

Let’s celebrate every story, every kiss, every truth.

Rainbow Ice Cream

Celebrating Pride Month, scoop by scoop.

This rainbow ice cream isn’t just a sweet treat. It’s a swirl of pride, joy, and solidarity.

Because being an ally means showing up loudly, lovingly, and sometimes with sprinkles on top.

Note: Using a frozen marshmallow as the outside of an ice cream sandwich was a new, delicious dessert idea.

Happy Pride Month!

Let’s Paint Chicago

Chicago Bean – Reflecting Rainbow

A reflection of a rainbow on metal is like a burst of colorful confetti on a shiny surface. The bright hues twist and shimmer, creating a playful, iridescent dance with every shift of light. It’s as if the rainbow is having fun, turning an ordinary piece of metal into a vibrant, magical canvas that catches your eye and makes you smile.

Sun highlighting a colorful Penrose triangle

I have discussed previously how a Penrose triangle is a symbol of polyamorous relationships.

During Pride Month, I wanted to revisit this concept of polyamory as the practice is outside the traditional male-female monogamous relationship scheme. If asexuality can be included in LGBTQ (as I have seen on several occasions), then perhaps polyamory should be too.

Alternatively, Leanne Yau @polyphiliabog proposed in a previous Instagram post that, “Polyamory is a ‘queer-adjacent practice’…[while] not inherently queer in itself (see cheating/polygamy), but practi[c]ing it intentionally is a direct challenge to the cisheteropatriarchy.”

Reference to previous post … A Penrose triangle as a symbol of polyamorous relationships

The Penrose triangle is an optical illusion as it only occurs in two dimensions and not three.

I would argue it is more a perception of reality than a figment of one’s imagination. If unrealistic shapes can have a perception of reality, then avant-grade relationships shall have tantamount sustainability. 

My novels explore the authenticity of polyamory, consensual romantic relationships that involve more than two people. 

As an engineer, I like to analyze and test systems. As a lawyer, I like to argue alternative viewpoints. As a romance author, I like to explore a world of emotions.
