You showed up. My heart is full. 🧡🤍🩷

Thank you to everyone who came to my first book signing, brought home a copy of The Ampersand Effect, or has been cheering me on along the way. These characters lived in my head for so long. Getting to share them with you—and sign the books in your hands—is something I’ll never forget.

Missed the signing? You can now shop author-direct at cassieinink.com, including a limited number of discounted, cosmetically imperfect copies with complimentary signing. A little rough around the edges. Relatable.

Already spent some time with Tobin and Grier? If they earned your five stars, I’d love for you to leave a rating on Amazon, Goodreads, or Audible. Ratings help new readers find my book and are one of the best free ways to support an indie author. A written review is always welcome, but never required. 💕

Good with your hands? Be like Grier. Prove it.
Turn the page. Maybe get turned on. ✂️🔫

Look what I spotted on a bookshelf. 👀📚

Just casually hanging out with some authors I’ve been fangirling over for years… and a few that inspired me to write my own WLW novel.

And apparently The Ampersand Effect decided it belongs in the neighborhood. 💅🏼

I’m not saying I’m starstruck by my own book being on a shelf.

But I’m also not saying I’m not. 😂💜

Dreams are weird. Sometimes they look like a bestselling author fantasy. Sometimes they look like your paperback sitting between books you still look up to.

Either way… hi, little book. You made it. 🥹✨

I can’t explain why the “haunted” tag gives me all

I can’t explain why the “haunted” tag gives me all the feels. But it just makes this author’s soul smile. Check out those ratings! And if you haven’t rated it, consider this a shameless plug! #TheAmpersandEffect #DebutAuthor #lesbianromance

Change of plans: My upcoming local book signing is being rescheduled.

Sometimes life asks you to take a step back, catch your breath, and give yourself a little more room than you expected. 🤍 I’m trying to do that right now.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for continuing to show up for The Ampersand Effect. It means more than I can probably put into words at this time. 🖤

The paperback edition of The Ampersand Effect is officially available!

After months of being a file on my computer, a chaotic collection of edits, and a tiny emotional gremlin living rent-free in my brain… Tobin and Grier are now a real book you can hold. (Which feels slightly unhinged, honestly.)

A physical copy. A SPINE. Pages. A place on your shelf next to the books that made you feel something. 💜

A book you can smell, dog-ear, annotate, lend to a friend, and proudly display on your shelf. 💜

A tiny sapphic love story goblin that escaped the laptop and entered the world. 💜

If you’ve been waiting for a paperback copy, the wait is over. Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, shared, screamed, cried, or simply cheered this story on. Indie publishing is a strange little adventure, and every single bit of support matters.

Here’s to sapphic love stories taking up space. 🏳️‍🌈

🎧 Now listening!

The Ampersand Effect is now available as an audiobook, narrated by the incredible Lori Price.

If you’ve been waiting to experience Tobin and Grier’s story on long drives, morning walks, or curled up with your headphones on, now’s the time.

However you like to listen, they’re waiting for you. ❤️

Whether you’re discovering their story for the first time or revisiting them in a whole new way, I hope you love listening as much as I loved hearing these characters come alive.

🎧 Available on Audible

This isn’t just a website.
It’s not a club.
It’s a recognition.

I built an identity for women who don’t want instant gratification.

For readers who crave longing.
For women who choose each other deliberately.
For sapphics who know intimacy is hotter when it’s earned.

If that’s you…
you’re already one of us.
