Not the first to say it and certainly won't be the last, but if your book has those Widow's Bay vibes, I definitely want to see it. #mswl

Diving into my third KC Jones’ joint today. Isn’t it wild that we can return to an author time and time again? HOUSE HAUNTERS hits shelves this October from @tornightfire.bsky.social @pnwscribe.bsky.social

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

Growing up in Kentucky means I'm still obsessed with all things Appalachia. If you have a book set there, I'd love to see it. Bonus points for a mystery / crime novel or one with a touch of magic. Or maybe a combination thereof! #mswl

#MSWL I'm over winter and ready for some summer vibes in my reading. Romance? Yes! Horror? Yes! Give me two people falling in love at the beach or bad things happening at summer camp. I'm open!

#MSWL Witches! In all kinds of stories. Cozy, dark, horror, romance, historical, mystery, dual timelines, literally whatever you got, I want to see it.

#MSWL I love that paranormal romance is making a comeback, and am interested in seeing speculative romance of all stripes. I'm open to both cozy OR the darker end of the spectrum, as long as the stakes are high and immediate. Some faves: Sangu Mandanna, Ashley Poston, Ali Hazelwood, Lana Harper

Amanda Jain @amandajain.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Historical fiction is also always a #MSWL. I'd love to see stories in some new time periods (esp 1930s, 1950s) and ones that are drawing parallels and making history relevant to our current world. Always love to see dual timelines! If Bonnie Garmus, Kristin Hannah, or Kate Morton are comps, hmu!

Amanda Jain @amandajain.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Mystery / suspense / thrillers are always on my #MSWL. I love immersive settings that drive the plot and psychological stories that employ well-worn tropes in new and interesting ways. Some perennial favorites: Liz Moore, S. A. Cosby, Tana French, Mary Kubica, Ashley Elston, Kimi Cunningham Grant

Amanda Jain @amandajain.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

First up on my #MSWL is a postapocalyptic romance where the romance is just as important to the stakes as the end of the world itself. Bonus points for dark / black humor! Am also looking for dark romance / horror romance more broadly, but nothing w/ stalker vibes or questionable consent for me.

Cover reveal! A ghost hunting home inspector, a desperate reality TV producer, and a very concerned corgi are at the heart of this pumpkin-spiced horror, haunting a bookstore near you in October!

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

If you're in Portland and looking for some fun tomorrow night, I'll be at the Cedar Hills Powell's interrogating @pnwscribe.bsky.social about his totally cool new book, WHITE LINE FEVER. Come hang out with us and talk about road trips gone horribly, horribly awry!

I'm just thrilled for this story to finally be out in the world. Like these characters, I didn't always know where it was taking me, but I enjoyed the ride, and I hope you do to.

Four women in silhouette, their backs to the viewer, sit gazing toward a pile of ruined cars in a junkyard. Above this, the sky is an inversed image of a road stretching onward into an ominous sunset. Underneath the words "Grab the wheel. Punch the gas. See where the road takes you" is an image of White Line Fever's cover, featuring an empty, eerie road cutting through dark forests underneath a twilit sky.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
