So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

I forget sometimes myself! 🙂

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

She suggests a lot of people (I can’t bring myself to call them authors) are doing this. If that’s true, it’s so nauseating and disheartening. On top of the news about Harlequin Historicals and AAR, it’s hard to feel hopeful about the genre today

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

That’s a lot of heartbreaking news on top of the continuous dumpster fire in general 😭

It's been a great thirty years.... This is a hard column to write. So I’ll just say it: AAR is retiring. All About Romance launched in 1996. It was created by the incredible Laurie Gold, and shaped over the past thirty years by a remar...

What a dire timeline right now - even in romance. I'm going to write words about Harlequin killing the Historical line (a threat for the last decade) and now it's been announced that All About Romance, a 30-year old website is shutting down allaboutromance.com/its-been-a-g... #Romancelandia

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

I was mistaken earlier tonight about Salonga having a Tony nom tonight but but but Darren Criss AND Nicole Scherzinger BOTH won in their categories! And made me tear up! ❤️

Nicole Scherzinger just killed it on the Tony Awards with a solo from Sunset Blvd and then Darren Criss did the bridge to the commercial break. They and Lea Salonga are all nominated for Tonys tonight! So was Conrad Ricamora! Filipinos represent!! 😍

Sometimes the cosmos connects me with exactly what I need to see when I need it. Thank you, Ms. Bev!!😍

“One thing I love about writing in the Gilded Age and the Victorian Era is there was so much changing in society. You had so many people fighting for workers’ rights, for women’s rights, against racial injustice. People were out there fighting in the streets and in the court room and in Parliament, just like they are now. I love how you can see the parallels, while at the same time it’s a little removed for me as a writer. It’s not like I’m writing about today. I don’t know how people write contemporary romance today. It’d be really hard for me because I like the escape.” - Harper St. George

I'm heartbroken that historical romance isn't getting the love and support it deserves as a sub-genre. As @harperstgeorge.bsky.social put it on Rebel Ever After, histrom teaches us how we can fight oppression *now* by learning from the past.

Happy release day!

A Readers Say graphic for Copper Script with quotes: Joel is an incorrigible gremlin and I absolutely adore him; Aaron is a tall glass of trauma with a steel backbone and an admirable moral compass. A tense page turner with a dazzlingly romantic ending, and one of the best couple dynamics I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a while. A refreshing blend of historical accuracy mixed with wit, humor, a well-crafted and thought out plot, and compelling leads I devoured this book like it was my job and enjoyed every second of it. You will absolutely want to eat a curry afterwards.

Copper Script is out today! Get your morally conflicted policeman / chaos graphologist romance here.

Out in pb too, audio on its way.

Wow! So very Victorian! The spiritual Rail. Reframing the railway incident. Thanks for sharing. And for doing the climb so now I will never need to…I *am* afraid of heights already

I think the only thing I haven’t done on this list is …I’ve never bought a book just for the cover…although it’s made a difference when I’m on the fence about a book…and I’ve bought additional copies of books with new covers I like

If you’re out here blaming generations of people instead of focusing on elites and corporations, you’ve been fully bamboozolled.

Enough with the generational tribalism. It’s ignorant, reductive and ageist. 😃
