Pride month seems like an auspicious time to finish this revision of the big gay grimdark, so here I goooooo

(consider this an accountability post)

Hey, it’s the first Sapphic Sunday of June! Happy Pride, support queer authors and read queer books, all year long. And I hope you read sapphic books too.

Mango pickle!!!!

IMHO (as a US citizen who’s personally done a lot of travel) enough English speakers can surmise what a mango pickle is, and the few who can’t (or will loudly claim they can’t) aren’t really your audience anyway (and fwiw they aren’t mine either….)

Marina is a fantastic writer, so if you’re into romantasy, do your tbr a favor and don’t miss out on BEHOOVED!!!

Happy book birthday!!!

My book was one of the thousands used (without permission or payment) to train AI.

I don’t use AI lol.

AI needed me I guess but I don’t need it 🤷‍♀️

Lindz McLeod launches The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet | Events at Waterstones Bookshops | Waterstones Events at Waterstones get you closer to the books and authors you admire most. Find information and tickets about Lindz McLeod launches The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet today.

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches.

If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.

Adorable. The Boston ducks have protest signs #handsoff

Graphic with a deep purple ombre background. White title text says, “Celebrate We Need Diverse Books Day with Bookshop.org”. Beneath the title is a row of white perforated tickets, the centermost which says, “15% Off using the code WNDB25” in dark purple lettering. Beneath the ticket in small white font is a note with an asterisk that says, “only active Thursday, April 3rd” and “excludes e-book purchases”.

I am once again begging you to understand that a man can be good at art AND a monster. Pretending once the truth comes out that the art was never actually that good only shelters the next monster.
