I've listened to that exact line in the car this morning. (Murderbot Diaries are playing on a loop in my car)
Your squares are amazing.

An image of two white men holding hands. One has blond curly hair, and is wearing casual clothes: green t-shirt, a green shirt over it, and brown pants. The other has black hair and is wearing a three-piece black suit with a white shirt and red tie. The blond man on the left is surrounded by green clouds, and is summoning brambles from it with his other hand. The suited man on the right is surrounded by fire and flying shards of ice, and is holding a fireball in his other hand. Text below them reads "Inheritance, AK Faulkner" and the url discoverinheritance.com (though I'll add that ravenswordpress.com also works). Text around them contains the following collection of quotes from critics: "A consistently gripping and remarkable urban fantasy saga" - Kirkus "Potent and enchanting" - Foreword Reviews "First rate" - Blueink Reviews "Not for the faint of heart" - Hailey Turner "Captivating" - Publishers Weekly "Deeply kind-hearted" - Alasdair Stuart "Empowering" - IndieReader "Complex and powerful" - Self Publishing Review

I wrote to @leewelchwriter.bsky.social that I am one of the people who'd happily wear a "Run as if Mr Collins just proposed!" shirt.

"Mr Collins in Love" changed my mind. It shows the Austen character in a new light and makes him more approachable.

Also 🌶️

Need to read Lee's other books now!

Yeah! Maybe a cocktail of germs and viruses.

Hope the baby, and all of you, feel better soon.

It's nearly 9:45am here. No work. A bit of yoga, a bit of reading so far, and now I'm off to have a professional bend my fingers and wrists (aka ergotherapy).

cover for the obake code. Malia, a brown skinned woman with long locs dip-dyed green and dressed in a white top, black baggy pants, and black boots, stands with her arm raised looking overhead. above her are futuristic cityscape style towers, with pink and purple lighted windows and glowing neon signs. a futuristic flying car zooms by overhead. there is a white Hawaiian-style tattoo badge to the left, depicting scythes, a bow, geometric shapes, and axes. the text reads THE OBAKE CODE, with "code" in glowing neon.

IT'S TIME

so excited to reveal the cover for THE OBAKE CODE, art by the amazing Janelle Barone!

THE OBAKE CODE is the next book in the heist lesbians universe: a standalone sequel set 3 years after HAMMAJANG LUCK, following the hacker, Malia, on her first heist as mastermind. what could go wrong!!

That's what my son (in military) said, too: part of training munition for close quarters simulation.

A medical professional once told me that's because there are taste buds at that end too.
I admit, I haven't fact-checked it yet.

Happy Book Birthday!!!

@tekinsey.uk - love the Lady Hardcastle Mysteries. A friend recommended them to me two years ago and I have been paying that recommendation forward since.

Always fun to spend time in Gloucestershire with Lady Hardcastle and her maid Florence Armstrong. This is their 12th adventure, to be published 6th May.

Sorry the cat woke you too. Mine decided 5:58am was the perfect time to point out that the sun was climbing over the horizon, the cat fountain wasn't burbling like a waterfall, and, by the way, the adult teenager is mumbling in their sleep. Do something about all of this or else...

Thanks autocorrect - it was supposed to be "throuple". DYAC!!

Three ducks, two male and one female, checking the border between park pavement and lawn.

Duck trouple in the park outside where I used to teach. They've been together for a few years now. Always glad to see them still together when I visit.

The "ghost echos" can be so annoying. Not a voice actor, but worked in linguistics for some time and I have hunted down weird sounds in the linguistics lab.

Pile? Mine's a mountain.
