Will A Book Be Banned?

By on August 22, 2025

(There are SO many gorgeous rooms in Isafjordur Public Library in Iceland. This is one of them.)

Books are being banned or shadow banned (not banned outright but it is VERY difficult finding them or accessing them at booksellers, on social media, etc) in the US AND the UK, two of the largest English-language romance countries.

This includes many of my published stories.

This makes it almost impossible to cover production costs. And there isn’t much hope of covering other costs like…food and electricity.

My secret writing project, however, has no on- or off-page sex. It doesn’t have traditional cuss words.

Under today’s environment, this SHOULD mean this story won’t be banned or shadow banned.

But two years ago, NONE of my stories were banned or shadow banned.

This is how quickly the writing environment is changing.

There are no guarantees my secret project won’t be banned in the near future.

My advice to writers is…

Ensure the story you are writing gives you joy. THAT is the only thing right now you can control.

My secret writing project is giving me great joy.
