edit data

Author of over thirty novels, Midwest-native Heidi Cullinan writes positive-outcome romances for LGBT characters struggling against insurmountable odds because they believe there’s no such thing as too much happy ever after. Heidi’s books have been recommended by Library Journal, USA Today, RT Magazine, and Publishers Weekly. When Heidi isn’t writing, they enjoy gaming, reading manga, manhua, and danmei, playing with cats, and watching too much anime.

Heidi goes by Jun when being spoken to in person or online, and Jun’s pronouns are they/them.

Red Envelope by Atom Yang: A Must Read

I’m late to the party with Red Envelope. It was first published in 2016, but I only saw it recently, and I’ll tell you, I pounced. It’s been sitting on my phone waiting for a moment when I had a free moment to read, but even though I wasn’t done with my deadline yet, last night […]

Quotes by Heidi Cullinan (?)

“It was a full Spears album, apparently, and each song was as ridiculous as the one before. They were catchy, yes, but so was the plague.”

“Sometimes the ones we love are like butterflies, flitting all over, and we have to sit and wait patiently for them to land. Sometimes they never do, and that’s a risk we take. But sometimes what they need most is to see us sitting still, patient, waiting. To understand that we’re going to be there no matter what, that we’re the ones who are always sitting there waiting, loyal, loving. Sometimes that’s more powerful than any words.”
― Heidi Cullinan, Love Lessons

If you're wanting to read Nowhere Ranch, you have two choices. Buy it in the next seven days, or wait 15-30 days until I get it re-edited and back up for sale. It's not going to change much, but if you want it extra sparkly and with a spanky new cover, do some deep breathing and wait until early March when I have it all prettied up again. If you want to know when it's up right away, join my newsletter (link on the homepage of my website, www.heidicullinan.com). It'll be up in ebook and paperback, available at pretty much every retailer where I can get it uploaded. If this moves you any, it will absolutely be cheaper when I put it up. Probably quite cheap for the first month. Maybe even ridiculously so.
