Hi there! I’m Briar West — romance author by day, cozy gamer by night, and professional collector of vibes 24/7.
If you’re here, you probably love one (or all) of the following:
✨ slow-burn romances
✨ cozy games
✨ Disney magic
✨ dogs who think they’re people
Same. Welcome home.
I like to think of this space as the intersection of storytelling, comfort gaming, and chaotic family energy — with a little bookish longing sprinkled on top.
Here’s what you’ll find:
🎮 Cozy gameplay
📚 Author life
🐾 Cameos from my very dramatic dogs
✨ And whatever else my ADHD decides is the mission of the day
