Addicted to words. Used to be paid by the column-inch. (You can probably still tell.) Gleeful flipper of all the tropes. Queer, disabled, neurospicy thespian. Indie author of Chai and Cat-tales. (About to commit a trilogy.) https://lynnstrong.com

And if anyone's wanting free or discount books anywhere on the romance-to-no-romance spectrum, here's a bunch of BookFunnels for your consideration!

For anyone who's feeling extra sour about All The Pinkness right now, here's recipe notes on aam ka achaar / green mango pickle, which I was amused to discover I'd accidentally scheduled for Valentines Day. (On behalf of all of us aroace folks, I'm rolling with it.) lynnstrong.com/2026/02/14/p...

If you're open to non-illustrated fast reads, the Wyngraf series does cozy fantasy short stories and novellas! And I've got a book of three shorts called Chai and Cat-tales that I think is pretty adorable too :D

The Tea Dragon Society is short, adorable, and illustrated, but I don't know if it's what you mean by a comic?

my exhausted jokes about my fantasy books include "I didn't want 'the smart funny capable brown woman wins' to be the most unrealistic part of a book with shapechanging cats" and "I didn't want 'disabled people get the access and care they need' to be the most unreal part of a book w flying carpets"

Hi #TBRuary - (raising hand in both "by" and "about" disabilities and chronic illness here.) All my books have representation for both, but the most personal one is lynnstrong.com/books/haroun : a blind dogfolk and his seeing-eye human have never met a crime of fashion they wouldn't commit!

...and this thread is the most cumulative nerd-fun I've ever had on social media.

Gotta figure out what equivalent I should do for Charmcraft...

#writesky I am still hugely entertained (and slightly boggled) by how I went from this post at the start of February to a total of 80,000 words by mid April to this next post by mid August...

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I wish I were compatible with audiobooks, it would make book consumption while vision limited much easier -- but I spent so many years as a transcriptionist at the speed of sound that audiobooks tap straight into my "disengage brain, engage fingers, TYPE FAST NAO" reflex and I can't process it!

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿช๐Ÿ“šโšก Hey, anyone interested in a book subscription that doesn't enrich the Zon & doesn't require authors to remove their books from every other system?

Kobo Plus does that.

Here's a sample of Kobo Plus-available books from fantasy, mystery, romance, & more... books.bookfunnel.com/feb-mar-kobo...

I mean I'd happily Peter Pan it for the rest of my life if someone would let me drop present me's life experience into my 18 year old body, Forever a Teenager sounds like a dream for those of us hit by the disability stick later on...

I just finished my ARC of The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen and it was delightful. A scholar stays at an inn determined to record its history and the adventurers who climb the mountain. You'll like it if you enjoyed The Spellshop series.

Promo for the 7th:

I write fantasy because I can make a world where nobody gets away with patriarchal bullshit, or even thinks to do it 99% of the time

** and male characters still exist in them (yes, it's possible to do both if you want to)

I love that actual historical food both hits "this would be fun in February in particular, with all the pinkness" and "built in low spoons recipe modifier for disabled folks from the 10th century onward." Bc my own cozy fantasy is happy to be inclusive!

The irony is that when I had about 100 people on the other sites I could theoretically have watched my whole list if they would have allowed me to escape the algorithm and the advertising. Now that I have about 2500 people I want to watch, and no algorithm to defeat, I still can't scroll far enough?

I'd love to be able to say "hmm here's people on the other side of the world whose stuff I don't usually see because on the bright side there's no algorithm here but on the downside pure chonology means I rarely see posts from folks in other places."
