It’s finally here!
You can now buy the trade paperback of ARCHAIC, about a badass single mom who’s put in charge of a sentient island and its mythological Inhabitants. Come for the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead, stay for the 9-yr-old who saves the day w/birdwatching skills.

Are you looking for a fantasy book but tired of teenagers?

I can't find a clip to hold the chip bag closed. The only solution is to eat all the chips.

Yeah I was there when the request was made for consent to record and agreed, but didn't understand that the intent was for the panel to be the ENTIRE episode of a podcast. I have mixed feelings on that. And if others didn't give consent I agree it should be pulled.

At a con last weekend I met my first fan in the wild! She'd purchased a copy at an art fair a few months ago, and it was complete chance that she saw my husband's shirt (which had my book cover on it) she said "I loved that book!!" We chatted for a while and it was so surreal!!

I'll be tabling at the Inbound Brewing Book Fair for Grown Ups this Saturday! If you're there, say hi!

What are people's opinion of panelists cosplaying at a con? Especially when the panel is not cosplay or costume related?

Guided meditation: Imagine for a moment who you could be if you let go of all constraints. What could you become?

My brain:

a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

Thank you!

I've gained a bunch of followers over the last two days! It's very exciting, but where are y'all finding me??

At this point it's more that she already saved the world once, and now she's tired. 😅 it's an "I don't do that anymore" / "well too bad you're our option" situation

Thank you!!! I really wanted more characters my own age, with more relatable problems. 😅

It’s a bad time in many ways. Maybe that makes it a good time for angry books.
My angry feminist sequel to Frankenstein is out in July.
It has:
—body horror
—an Arctic cruise
—an scene with Mary Shelley that I researched for months
—several bad men getting what they deserve

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.
