Reader Question – The book about the plus sized heroine and the rock star…

September 17, 2026 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Shelly needs our book help! And OH YES… I remember this series. It made us crazy!! It was so intense, and infuriating and heartbreaking we wanted to throw things!! So I’m throwing in my guess , below.

She asks:

Need help: I had a traumatic brain injury and I can’t remember the rockstar series I read.

She is a “slightly overweight” band manager in love with the lead singer. They break up on repeat.

He marries for paparazzi as his popularity is fading she marries a much older man who is her mentor. It is a very long series with lots of twists and turns. They see each other on and off for years through good and bad. I cannot find the series at all. No one has helped me. read more

Monday Early Bird Book Releases – 09-14-2026

HAPPY MONDAY!!! I have 17 books that just went live early, below. From forced proximity with firefighters, to paranormal romance, to bikers, to monsters, to mafia romance, whatever you’re in the mood for, I bet there’s one here. 🙂 But first…

Three Things:

1.) HOLY MOLY what a weekend! We literally just went CRAZY for the weekend. Did things we weren’t even planning to do!

2.) Like… I got two adorable budgies (parakeets). A blue and a green one. My huge cage was so lonely without my beloved “birdie”, and my grandmother always had budgies that I grew up with and so, for nostalgia’s sake (and the sake of my heart), they now live with me. I think I will name them Sky and Kiwi. read more

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story? A captivating book trailer can help make that happen. Imagine turning your book into a short, engaging video that brings your story to life, highlights its most intriguing elements, and gives readers a reason to want to know more. A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?
