A Letter to My Readers

Blog Title: A Letter to My Readers (From Ruby, Not Victoria)

Dear reader,

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while. Not as Victoria Fraser. Not as any of my characters, in fact. But as me — Ruby.

You’ve let my words into your life, into your hearts, and sometimes even into your most vulnerable moments. That’s not something I take lightly. I’ve seen the comments, the messages, the photos of underlined passages and tear-stained pages. I’ve read every note about how one line, one scene, one letter from a fictional woman made you feel seen. And I just want to say: thank you.

Thank you for trusting me with your time and your emotions. Thank you for showing up for sapphic love stories — the tender ones, the messy ones, the dominant and devastating ones. Thank you for letting these characters mean something to you. And thank you for allowing them into places you may not even let real people go.

When I sit down to write, I’m not trying to create perfection. I’m trying to create truth. Longing. That ache behind the eyes when you want someone you shouldn’t. Or the thrill when they want you back. I write to explore desire, yes — but also what happens when we dare to be fully known. I write about surrender, about tension, about power — but always with emotional honesty. And every time you tell me you felt something real, I know I’ve done my job.

And you? You’ve dared to show up for that. You’ve let my stories hold a mirror to your own experiences — your fears, your fantasies, your healing. That takes courage. It takes heart. And I don’t take that for granted.

Some of you have ordered personalised letters, letting a character write into your life. And the responses have floored me — tears, laughter, confessions, healing. Those letters aren’t just for fun (though they are fun). They’re a form of intimacy. A way of reaching across the divide between fiction and feeling. A way for a character like Olivia to comfort you. Or for Victoria to call you out, gently but firmly. Or for Yaya to remind you you’re stronger than you think.

What you may not realise is that writing these letters does something to me, too. When I step into a character's voice, I’m stepping into love. A very specific, directed kind of love — toward you. I read what you tell me. I listen between the lines. And then I let the character speak to what you might need to hear. That exchange? It’s powerful. Personal. Sometimes even transformative. On both sides.

You’ve turned these moments into something sacred. And the fact that you let me into your world that way? It humbles me. Every single time.

So, from me to you:

Keep craving connection. Keep honouring your softness. Keep reading stories that make you feel everything. Keep asking for more — more depth, more fire, more emotional truth. You deserve it.

I’m not done writing. Not by a long shot. The next story is already forming. The next kiss. The next confession. The next woman ready to ruin you, in the best way.

And I’ll be right here, writing it for you.

With love and deep thanks,
Ruby
