One more birthday surprise

A white woman in a red dress and blue tinsel in her hair poses for a selfie with Frankie Grande, who holds the phone out in a mesh shirt. It was HIS idea…

Free cruller, a cookie from a coworker, and now this seat…I got all kinds of surprises on my birthday today! And another gift to come tomorrow. #StayTuned

I love this, and kept thinking of that song as I wrote the last chapter of ANOTHER HEAT (not a spoiler)

The ESPYs marked Joey’s last obligation for America’s Next Bobsled Team and officially
brought that part of his life to an end. But as he wrapped his arms around Tish again, he felt the
thrill that came with a new beginning. The thought of beginning with her gave him an extra surge of excitement

Cats: The Jellicle Ball was an incredible show, with an amazing cast as both performers and people. I will never forget this show and want only the best for this cast.

Absolutely worth dipping into savings and getting caught in the rain.

Because the foster rescued my cat a few weeks before February 14, she named her Valentina. Anetra later chose her own name, but I made Valentina her middle name.

The World Winter Games are over in the blink of an eye, but it’s just the beginning for Joey and Tish. #CoverReveal #ComingSoon #Romancelandia #BookSky

#SumLuv Because this is a celebrity romance, both characters have some preconceived notion of the other before they officially meet. Once they do, it takes a while to grasp their real selves and not their fame personas. A snippet from their first meeting.

All too soon, the group picture was taken. Heather went off to get another drink, and someone from the network came over to talk to Jay. Before Adrian could get distracted too, Trevor had to tell him.

“I didn’t want to say it in front of the others, but you were my favorite.” It was ridiculous and
cheesy, and yet Trevor would spend the rest of his life kicking himself if he hadn’t taken the
chance that had suddenly, unexpectedly appeared in front of him.

This early closing is such bullshit, but I’m grateful to be back one more time…and here!

A white hand holds a Playbill for “Cats: The Jellicle Ball.” If it looks like I’m practically on the stage, it’s because I am!

I am not saying the bakery ran out of cookies because I failed to perform my theater ritual the other night, but one can’t help wondering.

A white hand holds a program for “Giulia: The Poison Queen of Palermo,” PAC NYC’s summer programming. Jennifer Nettles stands in an apothecary, surrounded by plants and holding a vial.

Looks familiar

C’est vrai

This week’s #FridayFling is from one of the steamiest scenes in CRUNCH TIME (still on sale!) #Romancelandia #BookSky www.evernightpublishing.com/crunch-time-...

On a pink background in black font:

Thanks to her family’s material wealth, Tallulah had never lacked for anything in her life. She had experienced plenty of moments of thinking it would be nice to have some material object or experience, but not much time had passed before she’d gotten it. However, she couldn’t remember wanting anything more than she did right now.

And more was exactly what Eva gave as she sucked and licked. Tallulah clenched her thighs around Eva’s face and leaned into her as her orgasm washed over her. She didn’t make a sound, but tilted her head back in a silent scream. Once the voice behind the door went silent, she let out a loud, satisfied sigh.

Hi, Momo. This is Anetra

My fifth full novel and first sapphic romance just came out!

The purple, black, and white cover of CRUNCH TIME, an Unexpected Victories novel, by Chelle de Notte. A woman with long hair holds the chin of a woman with short hair. Foreplay or a showdown? Or maybe both?

Chelle de Notte@chellethebelle· Jun 25

This is going to be great!

Years ago, I got this beautiful sheet of romance cover constellation stickers from @oliviawaite.com at a romance book event. I’d always planned to save the F/F constellation for my first book with such a pairing. #Romancelandia

A lined journal page with “Wednesday, June 24, 2026” on top and “Happy Crunch Time day” on the first line. Next to it, there is a sticker of a constellation of two women embracing.

Early release day celebration.

Screen showing “Jackie & Jan’s Y2J” in glittery letters. Jackie Cox, a brunette drag queen, and Jan Sport, a blonde drag queen with a high ponytail, pose below the letters. It looks like an old-school teen magazine.

It was a blast!

A white woman with long brown hair stands in front of a TodayTix x Heated Rivalry sign. She’s dressed in a swirly red skirt and a black T-shirt reading “behind every great love story is a dump truck ass.”

My Saturday night

A hand holds a postcard for “Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Parody Musical” very close to the stage. Two men face each other with a hockey puck clenched in their teeth. There is a rainbow below with wording about Pride nights.

Anetra just walked across my work laptop and turned it off. #ProofofCat

Waiting for breakfast

A tortoiseshell cat with green eyes, an ear tip, a few white whiskers, and a very fluffy tail sits up like a person on a bed with a textured white cover.

What I saw when I went out tonight.

This week’s #FridayFling drives home how little jewelry my characters wear, and how many spoilers lie in my WIPs! I had to go back to Hearts on Fire for this one. tinyurl.com/4kthptt7 #Romancelandia #BookSky

“We were getting ready in the same room. She asked what I thought of her outfit. I said it looked good, but something was missing. That’s when I got down on my knee. We were a little late for the reservation because we had some calls to make. And when we got there, she showed off the ring and we got free glasses of champagne and dessert.”

What did you do after work today?

Live Madonna concert in Times Square. Madonna herself is on a stage above the crowd, and a billboard shows her name.

I went to see DIRTY BOOKS, a fascinating play about obscenity laws, and was briefly in it when they called on me to title tonight’s work!

A white hand holds a black postcard for DIRTY BOOKS, an off-off-Broadway production. A fifties-style white woman peeks through blinds at the title. It says “Now through January 18, 2026” but has been extended many times over.

A white woman with wavy blondish hair, a black top, and a black-and-white rose-patterned tote poses with “My Secret Desire,” the book produced in tonight’s production. I suggested the title, and there is an apple core on the cover.

Wouldn’t it be something to see my books available for checkout on Libby or at the library!

Screenshot of Libby search for “Chelle de Notte.” All nine novels and novellas come up, but aren’t available for checkout. Let’s change that by requesting them!

I still need to get an author photo taken, but at least I uploaded a picture of my cat to my author website.

A fluffy tortoiseshell cat stands on a desk in the middle of an open journal. Her mouth is open mid-meow.

Can’t talk now, too busy telling everyone I know and some people I don’t to go see this show.
