A black Labrador mixed breed dog named Lily listens intently for trouble with one ear cocked.

Senior office assistant Lily is listening for trouble while I work on Chapter 2 edits.

She’s allowed a break. She spent all night guarding the house.

Sword bae!

You got this!

Algorithms are all, "Hey, you love dogs, you'll enjoy all this promo about a horror movie from a dog's point of view" and NO. SO MUCH NO. ALL THE NO.

Social Justice Warrior?

I prefer the term “J.E.D.I.* Knight”

*(Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion).

Graphic with a bright pink and orange background, the book cover for Fanning the Flames in the center, and the text “Now Available!” The illustrated book cover has a sage green cityscape and food truck in the background. A white woman with short brown hair wearing a red and black plaid flannel and black pants is hugging from behind a white woman with long red hair in a pink sweater and blue pants. They are smiling at each other.

FANNING THE FLAMES is here to bring you:
💥More superpowered shenanigans
💥Delicious food and beverages
💥Fun secondary romances (hello age gap!)

Then what was half my college dorm up to in the late 80s? Parcheesi?

And now I must post the relevant tangential note that I dropped on Twitter in the past. As we know, Jake Johnson is also a full-body, melt-your-panties kisser. Per NEW GIRL and MINX. So clearly he and Tim should kiss. For science. Just to see what happens.

Had an awesome time at @lovessweetarrow.bsky.social last night for a book signing with @annaguirre.bsky.social! Very cool. I found the last things I had signed by her and I'm pretty sure I got them signed at RT in Vegas in 2016, so it's been a minute. 😂

They said the same thing about Brandon Johnson in Chicago. We didn't see a mass exodus of cops when he was elected (which is a shame). Also, crime has hit a ten-year low.

I’m excited for the event at Love’s Sweet Arrow!

Thanks! 😄

Why would you attack me like this on my birthday? 😮

i feel like so many of the conversations around AI completely miss why dedicated readers actually like to read. I dont pick up a book because it's just words on a page. I want to know what different authors are cooking up in their brains. That's the best part. You can read a DMV manual for words.

This one hit me in the feels today

Sometimes kids cartoons have the wisest insights.

a photo grid of dolls with protest t-shirts and signs.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

During my panel yesterday I meant to add this advice. "Don't let someone else's success make you feel less. They're on their journey. You're on yours." Beverly Jenkins.

Martis, a black-haired knight in red armor, wields her golden sword against Valerin, a massive butch druid in leather wielding a larger, jagged sword. They are surrounded by a lush fantasy forest. Art commissioned from Adam Barker, @SatansMasque.

Follow a fellowship of sapphic knights as they’re seduced by witches, queens, goddesses—and each other—in a dark, lush fantasy inspired by Arthurian legend.

For Pride month, I'm making all 3 of my high heat lesbian knight books PWYW! Get them free, tip, do as you please.

Whatever it is, this is my favourite sport.

HAPPY PRIDE AS IN "LOVE IS LOVE" BUT ALSO "PRIDE WAS A RIOT" AND "BE GAY, DO CRIME."

Did you know your insurance company can just say "nah not feeling it" even if your doctor thinks you need urgent tests?

Probably you did. Anyway. Ha. 20% off sale, if you want some rainbow shit can we interest you in some rainbow shit? 💓
