Getting to see my favorite band at my favorite venue in a few weeks AND get to use America’s best bathroom? I’m going to come back a changed woman

Fun Fact: my favorite music venue was voted best bathroom in America and you know what? They were right.

I’ve been quiet, but it’s for a good reason 💛

Elena came 3 weeks early, spent a day in the NICU where I wasn’t allowed because I had norovirus, BUT our family has been reunited again and soaking in all the baby snuggles!

(Now prepare to rarely if ever see my children’s faces on here again lol)

I also just really love my job and am sad about not being able to work sooner than expected. Quite suddenly, actually. But those are the sacrifices we make for our health!

On bed rest until the baby is here and leaving work yesterday made me so sad. What do you mean I won’t get to be in this beautiful place again for months?

Cover for LORD OF RUIN by K. M. Enright. Black cover, with a dark haired Filipino man in a Gothic style embodied suit jacket in shades of blue and gold. Black wings with a similar gold embroidered design stretch behind him against a background of blue with white flowers. His hands are tipped in black talons and he holds a bright red anatomical heart. Blurb from Thea Guanzon — ”K. M. Enright is definitely one to watch.”

AND IT'S HERE

The gorgeous cover for LORD OF RUIN with art direction by Ella Garrett and artwork by @superstarfighter.bsky.social

Isn't he just stunning? Isaac will be coming to you this August from Orbit! Pre-orders are available now!

All of these are in official court transcripts and records. I love Gen Z and younger in my courtroom. Live for it, actually lol

My position has me work with all 9 of our judges, and so far just this year I’ve been lucky enough to witness our judges learn:

“Sneaky link”
“Situationship”
“Yap”
“Crashing out”

Judge and I were chatting between hearings and she turns to me and goes “or as my kids would say, yapping” 😂

DOECHII THE DON DOECHII THE DEAN DOECHII SUPREME THE SWAMP RULER 🐊 👑

Don’t even have to say a fandom and an entire chunk of the population is on their knees. Truly iconic.

It’s been over a decade and I’m still gagged by “if it weren’t for the baby”

I am a writer, not a proof reader apparently 😅

(All my pitches are cross-posted now so I am so sorry if you have to see them again and again (but also not cause they slap))

Dante’s 🔥 x Nordic Mythology

To save the soul of her dead lover, a disgraced Valkyrie travels to Helheim—a place no soul ever leaves. The further she descends, the harder it is to face the truth: that she might be her own greatest enemy.

Hades&Persephone x THE CITY IN GLASS

🌆 an underground city on the brink of collapse
💊 a drug that stops a cannibalistic epidemic
💉 vaccine scarcity
🔥 a woman who may be the cure
⛪️ is she a Saint or a witch?
🍎 & the man determined to use her

#questpit #AG #A #F #H

Gave this disclaimer on the bad place already but I’m solely using this event to ignite my love for writing again via hype (and to help me decide what project to go with).

The VVitch x Midsommer x Nordic Folklore

When a shipwreck happens off the coast of an isolated village, the community decides to leave them for the sea. But when much needed supplies wash ashore, something monstrous follows in its wake.

Oh this SLAPS!

Didn’t realize question was happening over here too and now feel like I’ll be annoying cross posting 😅

If you’ve experienced burnout and a loss of creative drive, what have you done to bring yourself out of it?

Asking for myself 😅

new edition of Vicious by ve schwab with cover painted by me of victor looking sexily pensive in front of an art deco cityscape lit by lightning

holy shit it looks so cool, schwab summer treated me well. 📸 jemtessa on twitter

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

Don’t post here as often as I should but life update! In less than 12 weeks we are evicting a human from my body and I am really feeling the effects of being an incubator lately 🥴

It’ll be so nice to complete our family, to get my autonomy back and start to feel like a person again 🤞🏻

As if your book wasn’t already near the top of my TBR, that show was bonkers so I need it more now 😂

Posted a full recap over on Instagram for those who are interested 🥂

I watch Judge Judy, but in real life while taking notes.

Megan, I am on my knees begging 😩
