Have you checked out Blind Date with a Sapphic Book?

To celebrate Romance Month, Jae created a month-long event called Blind Date with a Sapphic Book.

Spice up your reading in February by going on a blind date with a sapphic book (or two…or three), all of them discounted, free, or part of a giveaway for this special occasion. 70+ authors are offering a sapphic romance for you to discover.

Every week, the batch of books will be swapped for new “blind dates” so you can find a new literary love each week of the month, on Jae’s website.

Random Things:

5 Random Things is our way of helping readers to get to know top sapphic book authors all the while having a bit of fun.

Here are five random facts about Amber Perez.

I’m over 50% deaf from birth and didn’t know it until I was 19! I made it through school with good grades, learned to play the flute, and sang in the choir. I didn’t find out about my hearing impairment until I attempted to join the Navy after high school. Somehow, I made it through processing and even shipped out to bootcamp in Great Lakes. After cutting all of my hair off, getting a ton of immunizations, and getting yelled at for a few days, they found out I had a birth defect and had about 50% ability in my left ear and less than 47% in my right. Apparently, I learned to read lips very early and no one ever knew! So, if we meet and I don’t respond? I promise I’m not being stuck up, I just need to look at your mouth as we talk!
Even though I didn’t realize it was a thing until after I wrote my first book, Shay’s Gamble, I guess I’m a toaster oven lesbian! I was married to a man for 22 years and didn’t come out until I was 41. I’m a real life sapphic romance trope!
I am a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. I know, I know, but don’t hold that against me if you’re not! I visited the old stadium back when I was about 3 years old and have pictures of me on the 50-yard line and in Roger Staubach’s locker (if you know football then you know Staubach). I have amassed a rather extensive memorabilia collection that consists of signed footballs, helmets, jerseys, collector cards, and so much more. My goal is to eventually turn a spare room into my memorabilia display room.
I am a college freshman at 45! Yes, you read that right. I married young and started a family. I loved being able to stay home and be a mom. Now that my youngest is a senior in high school, I decided it’s my turn! I’m majoring in Forensic Psychology with plans to become a mitigator.
I am a tattoo junkie!! I love ink and figure as long as I have blank skin then I need more tattoos. I had my first one done as a gift when I was 19 then waited on my second until I was in my 30’s. Since then? I’m pretty much covered. My current project is a full leg sleeve paying homage to my Viking ancestry.
