Finding Comfort in Fiction On Veterans Day

A roundup of steamy romances, heartfelt novellas, and charming films to take you away, chapter by chapter.

With everything going on in the world, sometimes the best thing we can do is slip into a story that reminds us of love, laughter, and joy. I’m actually stepping away from the computer today to spend the holiday cuddled up with my kiddos instead of writing. But I’ll be back tomorrow! In the meantime, if you haven’t caught up yet, there’s plenty here waiting for you to dive into.

Start with LOVE ON THE BALLOT, the novella I released last week on Election Night—a lighthearted rom-com escape featuring Shamar and Bryelle. And if you’re a fan of PROMISE, you’ll love spotting familiar faces, Akil and Jade. Have you read their story yet? It’s inspired by my favorite Jagged Edge song—the same one Jade sings just as badly as Akil describes, which always gets me in my feels.

There’s also NOT NICE, a novella I wrote during Hurricane Helene to keep my nerves steady, plus the short film YOU'VE GOT MALE, which I had so much fun writing, producing, and directing for you.

And of course, don’t miss our ongoing serialized romances, DEREK’S DESTINY and VINES OF PASSION, each ready to sweep you off your feet, chapter by chapter.

I know it can be hard to find everything with the limited layout here on Substack, so I’ve updated UrbanLoveStories.com to make it easy for you to access all your favorite stories.

Enjoy, indulge, and let me know which one’s got you hooked!

P.S. To any Urban Love Stories readers who are veterans, thank you for your service. I’m grateful for all that you’ve done and continue to do.
