I’ma be outside a lil bit this year. LMK in the comments if imma see you & where! Looking forward to the travelssssssss 🥰

don’t ask me how many, but this is all of em.
(if it ain’t, don’t tell me 🤭)
official book list… for now

Whenever I am asked where someone should start in my catalog, I never have a definitive answer. However, with potentially being introduced to more and more new readers, I figured I needed a visual primer of suggested places to start. Enter my girlie @smirks_novel.tea who came through and created this masterpiece for me after I handed her a buncha words and vibes 😂 I’m very appreciate of her hard work and now I’ll have somewhere to point folks when they ask that (dreaded) question. 🩷 Also, shoutout to @melaninandmanuscripts for those lovely words about my friends and lovers series. 🥹

This obviously isn’t an exhaustive list of my entire catalog (still need to create an updated graphic for that) but it is a series of entry points for anyone who is new to Nicole Falls and is unsure where to dive in.

For anyone *not* attending BRBF next weekend, I have a (very limited) number of paperback titles available for sale over on theshopbynicolefalls.com/collections/pbsale 🥰

I’m not really a ~visual girlie~ but part of this backlist promotion exercise is stretching my bounds. Y’see…because the folks I see in my mind’s eye when crafting the tale don’t always have a real life counterpart.

Karim, the hero in Smitten, is one noted exception. Namely bc in the book, he’s very much described as “Ralph Angel with that grown man weight” 🤭 what a time capsule of a phrase, ain’t it? I’m certain you can guess what show was very popular as this was written.

Celena took me through there while writing this. TBH, the first two heroines in this series really tried my patience. Their tendencies were so unlike my own and being a baby writer at the time, I fought what they wanted to do, stalling out my process. Glad I’ve learned to let these folk be what they gon’ be now 🤭

Keeping it in the Accidentally in Love series, this week’s book is Smitten. Celena & Karim were so special to me & I hope like hell they resonated with readers who’ve indulged in this title!

Synopsis:

Celena Payne was heartbroken. Ghosted by her most recent ex, she was over the whole “romance thang”. Instead she was focused on her career, family and friend, until…

Karim Holt had recently moved back to his hometown to help his mother care for his ailing grandmother. Between family obligations and opening a new business, he was a busy man, with little time for socializing. A spontaneous night out led to…

A chance meeting. Sparks flying. Romance brewing. Celena and Karim’s undeniable chemistry alter their lives in ways neither could have imagined.

Music is SUCH an integral part of my writing process. I be having a lil too much fun creating the mood driven playlists. I don’t have one available for every book, but damn near. The above tracks are just a smattering of the AY playlist. See full 🍎🎵 playlist here: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/adore-you-playlist/pl.u-V9D7Z9pcA7pBD

A couple years ago, on my Patreon, I started a series wherein I went back to reread my old work and gave my impressions on it since I was far removed from the process. I actually quite enjoyed myself if this video is any indication 🤭

IGNORE THE END WHERE I ASK FOR SUGGESTIONS as rhis is recycled content 🤭

Today’s the first of a recurring segment I’m calling “Let’s Talk About”, wherein I’m revisiting my catalog as I celebrate nearly ten years of Nicole Falls.

It’s only right to kick it off where it all began—Adore You!

So…fun fact about this one: initially it was only supposed to be a 10k long short story, named The Morning After, inspired by a Deborah Cox song of the same name. But these characters kept yapping & I let ’em.

Have you read this book? If not…here’s your chance: http://bit.ly/FallsAY

I could really talk about myself forever… (no really), but I thought I’d hop on this trend I’ve seen some of my author pals doing! Here’s a lil peek behind the Magic Keyboard!

July will make ten (TEN?!) years of Nicole Falls & I can hardly believe it! I’ll actually be on the clock during my actual authorversary, wrapping up my time in NOLA @1luvreunion, but I plan to be a bit more present on this lil corner of social media between now and then, taking a stroll back through my catalog ☺️
