Keeping up morale as a queer, indie author is hard lately… between today’s political landscape, being an author AND marketer because of budget constraints, and the longer-than-anticipated time it takes to create a profitable catalog, I feel like I could always be doing more.

🕊️Book review of Meg Shaffer’s The Lost Story🕊️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 In The Lost Story, where Narnia meets Oz meets modern queer fantasy meets WEST VIRGINIA OF ALL PLACES(?!), I found myself enjoyed an amazing story of love, friendship, and family trauma. I need the sequel NOW!

I just applied for a grant to expand the reach of my queer novels in Minnesota! Queer authors: we need to be bold, ask for the opportunities we deserve, and fight book censorship. The most privileged among us (white, cis, male queers) need to do what we can to supports trans & queer BIPOC authors.

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Tweet from the White House Press Secretary: “This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.

It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.

Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.

The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”

This is a thread about book banning. Right now, today, books are being pulled from shelves in libraries and classrooms, some by direct order, some in fear of what's coming. This is *exactly* what Project 2025 said was going to happen. Make no mistake: this is not about books; it's about people. 1/8

If queer fiction writers seem distant over these next four years, it’s because we’re writing. We’ve seen the news, we know our community needs us, and we know what we’re best at. And yes, of course everything happening is impacting our work. I’ve never written faster in my life.
