When We Were Young

(Please note: this story does NOT have on-page ace rep, though Emma is demisexual—I wrote this story before I was confident about coming out as ace-spec myself and so didn’t state that Emma is ace-spec too.) 

It's been eight years since Emma last saw Oscar, the love of her life. Eight years since their messy breakup. She never wanted to see him again and relive that pain, but then she finds his photo album among her boxes of college things.

Oscar never met his parents. They died the day he was born, and the only connection he has to them is through the photo album his grandmother gave him. A photo album he thought he'd never see again.

When Emma returns the photo album to him, Oscar discovers it's not just the album that's been missing from his life for the last eight years. But can Emma ever forgive him for what he did?

When We Were Young is a snack-sized read about young love and second chances.


This is a short read--perfect for reading during a break time.

When We Were Young is currently available for just £0.99/$0.99 at Amazon UK and Amazon US (or free if you have Kindle Unlimited!) and you can add it to your to-read shelf on Goodreads.

Out Now: IN MY DREAMS, My Ace Romance!

  IN MY DREAMS is out now! I can't believe my first ace romance is out in the world!  Writing  In My Dreams   was such a special process for me. I am asexual, and for so long, I believed that any romance novel I wrote would have to include allosexual characters. I didn't think anyone would want to read about a main character who's asexual, especially if it was a romance novel. I really believed that a romance novel had to include sex--but all I really wanted to write was the romance (because that's what appeals to me). You know, those scenes where your characters are falling in love, where everything's new and exciting, where you're really emotionally invested in a pairing.  And where there's also no sexual attraction.   Because that's what it's like for me. I'm asexual, and I don't experience sexual attraction or have a desire for sex. I'm still attracted to people (physically and emotionally), and I'm still very romantic (though man...

Ace Erasure Is Real

  A Twitter thread from my @ ElinAnnalise account  Whenever I tweet about Asexuality and the need for more awareness and ace education, there’s always someone who’ll say I’m looking for something to be oppressed about or moan about, and that aces aren’t affected like other queer people. Um, ace oppression and erasure IS real. Can’t believe I’m having this conversation the day after International Ace Day either. đŸ™„đŸ™„đŸ™„  We need more awareness & education, because common responses to telling someone you’re ace are:  “You should see a doctor.”  “It’s not a real thing.” “You’ll find someone in the end.” “Is it because of trauma?”  “That’s unnatural.”  “I can fix you” or “I will fix you.”  “I choose not to have sex sometimes too!”  “You’re just scared.”  “You should see a therapist.”  “So you have no emotions?”  “Wow, you’re missing out.”  “It must mean you’re not happy.” “I think you’re just repressing your sexuality.”...

Yet Another Example of Asexuality Being Erased…

 They had the opportunity to include asexuality… you know, on the colour that represents asexuality… but instead they wrote ‘straight’.  I spotted this poster at my local NHS walk-in centre. Very disappointing.  Ace erasure and exclusion is exactly why days such as #InternationalAsexualityDay are important.
