#booksky would this be considered as hiring a Hitman

Ten Thousand Doors of January is one of my favorites.

I feel like the only time I have breakthroughs is when I’m not actively thinking about the problem. 😂 Glad you found the solution you needed!!

As if this even needs to be said.

Food for thought.

This deserves to be shared.

Congratulations!!!

Hiii!

Hope 2025 is the year you get an agent!

ROBBIE MCNEIL'S HIT LIST By Brianna Heath Imprint: Sourcebooks Brianna Heath's ROBBIE MCNEIL'S HIT LIST, a mystery romp following a contract killer who wants to run her karaoke bar with her queerplatonic soulmate in peace, but when one of her targets vanishes without a trace suddenly all of her rules go out the window, to MJ Johnston at Sourcebooks, in a two-book deal, by Jenna Satterthwaite at Storm Literary Agency (NA).

The vague era is over! I'm beyond excited to share the news that my debut novel will be coming to you in spring 2026 from Sourcebooks/Poisoned Pen Press. I'm so thrilled MJ gets my vision for this book & grateful to the amazing @jennaschmenna.bsky.social for helping find a perfect home for it ❤️🧡🤍

We've had a bunch of new people added to the 2026 debut authors starter pack so I'm sharing again so you don't miss anyone!

Happy new year, all! What are you excited for in 2025? (If you say the new administration we’ll have to agree to disagree.)

Made a semi-jokey video about how cutting those last 500 words from my latest novel (to get it under 100k) feels like the hardest thing I’ve ever done… Also specified that I didn’t actually want advice.

This girl comments: “Get ChatGPT to do it for you!”
😡😡😡 I’m irrationally annoyed.

Parents are in control of which books their own children read - if you don't like one of the thousands they have that are on the shelves of our public libraries, put it back and choose another! Pretty simple concept. #FreedomtoRead #RighttoRead

Vintage photo of four women gossiping, one of whom has her head poking out of window. Looks very British, very northern, all the women are dressed as though they are working class, one has a headscarf, another has a pinafore.

Funny

A loaf of challah bread with spikes and legs that resembles an alligator.

New Orleans out here innovating in bread shapes. Say hello to the challigator.

Surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, bakery, bookstore, and café.

I think I might! Definitely in a different theater though. 😂

I loved how this movie didn’t take itself seriously. 😂

If you’re going to see Wicked, my advice is don’t see it in a janky little theater where the picture quality is so dark you start wondering if you’re going blind!!! 😂😭 At least the music was good.

I’m about to start “Reincarnation Blues” by Michael Poore.

What an amazing setting!

Hachette bought my publisher, thus making me a (future) Big Five author. Usually you’d hear me grumbling about monopolies with this kind of news, but in this particular case, YASSSS!

*sigh* I did my masters of creative writing at Edinburgh Uni. I’d move back in a heartbeat. (Preferably for the next 4 years.)

I’ve been spending too much time on TikTok lately. Having just landed here (on Bluesky), let me just say, the vibe feels sooo much more authentic! I’m into it.
