Jake: [sounding a bit overtired] We watch a lot of Hallmark Channel, don’t we. Sir Mallard Jones: Was that a question or…? Jake: Just a comment, really.

A Self-Love Mallard-Festo: Sir Mallard Jones’s Self-Love Secrets Plus Fave Movies & Reads
Ah! Well, for MEEE, your everyday aristocratic plush duck, I’d say self-love is a way of life. (Not a whey of life, because my system is anti-milk, you know.) Every morning, I rise like Hercules and head straight for the bathroom. I then stand upon the sink and, raising myself daintily upon my flipper-tips, look… Continue reading

About US
Welcome! I’m Star Tavares. I am queer and nonbinary, and I use they/them pronouns. My hubby Jake is LGBTQIA+ too. Our plush duck is called Duck and is super-ducking awesome. He likes to call himself an award-winning duck because we wrote a screenplay about him that won some awards, and who are we to argue?
The thing is, we used to publish in the romance genres, but after we came out, we thought romance didn’t want us anymore. But you know what, toots? We were wrong.
Now we’ve rebuilt our confidence and are back to living our Romancey Pants life, writing, reviewing romance movies, reading romance novels, and doing a whole lot of stretching. (Did I mention we’re getting older?)
Want to know more about Star’s writing credits? Under another name, Star has published romance stories, novels, and novellas with presses like Harper Collins and Cleis, and has won awards for their shorter works from the likes of Glimmer Train, Screencraft, and Narrative, where they also worked as an editor. More recently, Star’s nonfiction about gender identity has appeared in The New York Times and at Huffington Post Personal.
Since Jake, who is also a romance author, is starting to add more reviews here (along with Duck’s best frenemy Sir Mallard Jones) watch this space for more about him and his career.
