So freaking good

What am I doing to combat generative AI slop? Hiring amazing artists for commission work. Can’t wait to share more!

Camellias on my altar. They are so beautiful.

So bad it ruins spring

Oh yes, spring in North Carolina. So many blossoming trees. And then *hurk* the *hnng* Bradford pear *hrffffggh*

I’m going to celebrate International Women’s Day by shrieking like a banshee.

Salem is judging you.

Seeing them together doesn’t get old.

Golden.

Salem is judging you.

The only fucking story on international women's day.

My little baby camellia bush is really showing off this year. 👀

America, come on, it's a little on the nose to have DST steal an hour from everyone's morning and thus make International Women's Day the shortest day of the year.

Final day at @retconnc.bsky.social — closing ceremonies soon. Yes, I am still wearing my tiara. Whimsy wins!

I forgot to take a picture of me with my tiara today, but here’s a cartoon of me on the drink board! Cool as hell.

It’s so beautiful!

To paraphrase Le Guin: fantasy is escapist, and we must take as many with us as possible.

There is no greater feeling than knowing something I wrote helped another soul escape during difficulties. I’ve been through many hospital visits with many books, myself. 💙💚💜

Aww I’m so glad it was a comfort. That’s the greatest thing I could wish for! And now I’m curious what those lines were…

Omg!! I got a tiara as a gift!! Y’all! Thank you so much @d0m0d.bsky.social and the @retconnc.bsky.social crew. I feel so fancy. 🥹

The thing about this administration is that when a horrible person gets fired or quits the sigh of relief is only momentary because the person that fills their shoes is just as bad or worse.

the world's wealthiest and most powerful democracy, *the* global leader for a century and close enough to its 250th birthday to order the cake, teeters on the precipice thanks to two or three hundred of the stupidest, laziest, most transparently corrupt and malignant people imaginable

Gonna try one shortly!

And I promise to have pre-order and ARC links as soon as I have them!

Just a gentle reminder that THE GAME OF HEARTS, the third in my Love in Netherford series, is landing in June (exact date TBD).

✨M/M romance between an apothecary & a werewolf
✨Mental illness rep
✨Antics, adventures, aperitifs!
✨Spice & longing
✨Everyone's favorite Netherford ensemble

Another incredibly cool thing: a drink in my honor! I helped inspire it, since I love a gimlet !

Ret-Con is officially kicking off and excited to have Natania Barron as our 2026 Guest of Honor! @natania.bsky.social

So cool! The design for the badges at @retconnc.bsky.social are inspired by my Queens books!

I’ve also got a drink named for me!

Oh so lovely. I’m jealous of the freesia! I can’t get it to cooperate.
