Long time no post again. Classes and work kicking my ass.

If anyone is in the Santae beta, sign out of the site asap. The owner, CJ, is setting chargebacks on former staff as high as $20,000 for work the former staff did.

They have silenced their entire discord server.

First: Teamed up with you to annihilate crew members and succeeded. Sus squad.

Second: Watched you tear the ear off your opponent with your teeth at Grindstone. Still good friend, though. 10/10.

It's pride month so everyone should send me $5 for being the coolest queer you know. 🌈🦕

Fellow authors, if you (or the small/indie press you publish through) have sold any rights to Everand (formerly Scribd)--especially audio rights--now would be a really great time to start using every email address you have from them to ask what on earth is going on over there. 🧵

I have to pay for new tires tomorrow. Trying to get this done before tariffs hit and it's still fucking expensive.
I just want to not have a tire explode while driving to work 😭 goodbye, savings.

I just went from having no idea who you are to needing all of your books immediately.
Bless the algorithm for sending your post my way 🌈🦕

The Impavidus Cycle: Birthright Audiobook A dark historical fantasy about family, identity, despair, and hope - coming soon in audiobook format.

The kickstarter for the Birthright audiobook narrated by the incredible @prlnce.bsky.social is LIVE! Help us reach our goal and get this thing funded!

There's a cool preview on the KS page too 👀

Today it clicked that I'm always incredibly sore in spring with a million flare ups because of the pressure changes. My entire body aches and my muscles feel like brittle rubber bands.

Upon realizing this, that long-ago memory popped up. Fuckin weird. Still hate spring, though. 2/2

A long long time ago, my ex got mad at me that I didn't like spring. It was his favorite season. I was young, didn't know I was chronically ill, so I just thought maybe I'm wrong to not see the beauty in it.
He *hated* my dislike of spring.

I completely forgot about this until today 1/

TOMORROW!!! Pre save the campaign!!!

that's great sweetie, how about now you use your 'neural-link' (brain) to pilot your 'mech' (body) into the maintenance hangar (take a shower)

I followed you so I can catch your next live!

I know I don't have as many author friends on here yet, but spread the word!

I just saw my uncle commenting on FB, supporting putting tariffs on penguins.
This man voted for Shitlord the first term, and swears he didn't this time, but I wonder. 🙄

Enemies to lovers? Fake dating? Only one bed? They're roommates? Yawn.

'There's something wrong and haunted in this giant robot that the lesbian protagonist has to pilot into combat'? Now that's cooking with gas!

I'm not allowed to say what I'm reading for the Indie Ink Awards but let me tell you it is GOOD.

I am so stressed as an openly queer person that I'm going to lose everything already, I don't want job security to also be on that list but here we are

I work for a non-profit that receives federal funding.
My husband works for a school district.

I hate how terrified I am that we will lose our jobs because of the current regime.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”

Hey you! You wanna follow heaps of cool people, right?

What's that? Another Travis Baldree book? DON'T MIND IF I DO.

Already (lovingly) nagging my tor rep contact for an ARC.

Oh no, I haven't tried! Consignment stores around here won't take my clothes due to being "out of style" (yet whimsigoth is all over fast fashion sites lol)
I usually just end up donating to thrift stores

@torbooks.bsky.social is running a 2.99 sale for Legends & Lattes in eBook through 2/9 across online retailers - so, approximately the price of 2 eggs. 🥚💲

Help me Ceinwen, I hate it here.

I know a lot of influencers boost it, but @thredup.com is honestly one of the worst websites to shop on. Good luck finding clothes you actually like. It's literally impossible to search by style.

The file issue for Birthright has been fixed! if anyone who purchased previously has issues downloading the new files, please shoot me an email at impaviduscycle@gmail.com.

Nightfall and Impavidus will be fixed later this week and I will be extending the free promo into next week!

One of my favorite series! The author also drew the cover art which is SO COOL.
