Every progressive over ~30 is dealing with massive, MASSIVE Iraq and Afghanistan (imperialistic) (invasions) War gaslighting and fatigue right now... along with the horror of yet more blood on our hands. Some of us were always against this shit. Some of us protested it. And... here we go again. 🤬

Y'all, I have been waiting impatiently for a week to share this cover with you. And at long last, I can reveal the gorgeous cover for You, Me, and the Conspiracy to the world.

On a field of stars are the words cover reveal and the book cover for You, Me, and the Conspiracy by Emma Barry. It features library shelves on either side of a couple. There's a white woman with brown hair holding a map. Next to her is a white man with a leather messenger bag. They're looking at each other adoringly. The light pouring around them resembles the silhouette of George Washington.

I worked up a little newsletter piece about how basic writercraft is rapidly becoming a thing of the romance publishing past—and how it's a past I'm very glad I was a part of. I also touch on how fanfic ties in. romancing-the-stoned.beehiiv.com/p/which-way-...

Which Way to Craft Services?

Without directions and a little guidance, it’s easy for romance writers to get lost.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I'm so delighted that this book is out in the world! Mindy is one of my favorite writers, bar none, and depicts complex relationships among women with such tenderness and care and rueful humor. Also, you know I love cinnamon roll heroes, and this story's offering is especially sweet. 😍

Amicably parted ways with my literary agent. Putting some good energy out there for referrals or agents looking for an energized client who wants to do big things. I'm published in sapphic romance/rom-com & have an upmarket speculative fiction with romantic elements I'd like to sell traditionally.

Those of us who walk through the world with privilege can take bigger risks right now than the people most affected by and vulnerable to ICE and CBP. We just gotta connect and decide to show up. Our group keeps repeating to ourselves, "One more thing." What's one more thing we can do? Then do it. ❤️

I am here to declare my wholehearted, abiding love for the female MC of BOLD MOVES, who is larger than life and bold and messy and wonderful. She's everything I want in a romance lead, and I'm so thrilled that my dear friend brought her to such stunning life. Congratulations on your new book, Emma!

This is the book Ruthie and I got out all of our unrequited Hollywood girl kissing feeling out in which is in part why it has murder and evil queerbaiting studio executives. But it’s also one of ours so there are many tender feelings (for example “you can never know how much I love you”).

Honest to god, the legal orgs and attorneys need to sue one of the hospitals in one of these blue states with civil rights protections for not providing trans care to trans youth. The lawyers at these hospitals only understand legal threats. They are complying with Trump because they're scared.
