We picked some real ones. Here's to the partners who support us and our wild dreams.

look how dapper our men looked for the Wyld Hunt Fae Ball! Meowwwww. 🖤

@authorjennygrimes and I had an amazing time chatting with readers and dancing the night away! Can't wait to do it again! 💃📚

... Read moreHaving a supportive partner can make all the difference, especially for creative professionals like romantasy authors. The phrase captured in the image OCR, “Wait, your husbands support you as spicy romantasy authors?!”, highlights a unique and heartwarming reality. It's not just about having a partner but having one who embraces and celebrates your passions and dreams. When authors speak about their partners supporting their work, it speaks volumes about mutual respect and understanding in relationships. Events like the Wyld Hunt Fae Ball provide a magical backdrop where couples can showcase their style and share joyful moments. Seeing the men dressed dapperly not only adds an aesthetic charm but also symbolizes the pride partners take in each other's creative endeavors. These gatherings build community, allowing authors and readers to interact beyond words on a page, fostering deeper appreciation and motivation. Dancing the night away and engaging with readers creates memories and fuels inspiration. It’s moments like these that reinforce the importance of a strong support network, both personally and professionally. Reading is a social experience as much as it is solitary, and events that bring authors and readers together are vital for the creative ecosystem. For romantasy authors and their fans, such encounters encourage continued creativity and storytelling. Having a partner who ‘didn’t marry losers,’ as humorously noted in the OCR, is a playful testament to the incredible value of love and support in artistic pursuits. This synergy strengthens both the personal and professional lives of creators, propelling them toward future projects and collaborations. In short, behind every successful author is often a partner who believes in their wildest dreams, cheering them on with enthusiasm and pride. Celebrating these partnerships elevates the entire community and makes moments like the Wyld Hunt Fae Ball truly unforgettable.

Why I picked my Major
I decided my second semester of senior year that I was going to go to college. I hated the idea of more school, but knew I wanted to do more with myself than just work in a factory. My advisor suggested Supply Chain Management because the student who had previously majored in it had great success.
