have said this before on here but meta kills anything "socialist," "anti-capitalist," or combinations thereof, and will take down ads containing them even if the ad is obviously not about modern politics. ffs

As I wrote, I know this attorney very well, and he is a long standing supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community. He has taken many pro bono cases, and at this point he can't take another pro bono case, but he can be retained. Siobhán needs another 3k for this to happen. www.gofundme.com/f/protect-si...

i do find it hilarious how willingness ticks up between bi men and gay men 😂

eri (e.m. caro) @authoremcaro.com · 22/09/2026

straight women refuse to READ bi men MCs, much less DATE real live humans. their loss! both ways!

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

I read REARS & VICES last week and really enjoyed it. Great characters, really cool use of language(s) and it kept surprising me all the way through. (Incredible title too!)

Oh goodness, thank you so much! (I can't take credit for the title -- that's from Austen. :D)

folks... Rears & Vices was reviewed in Publishers Weekly!! And it's a FANTASTIC review! 😭 www.publishersweekly.com/9781968767006

review in publishers weekly:
Rears & Vices
E.M. Caro. E.M. Caro, $18.99 trade paper (380p) ISBN 978-1-968767-00-6
Caro debuts with an entertaining polyamorous pirate romance set in 1816. After the disastrous loss of his ship, Capt. Everard Anderson de Anglada is just trying to hang onto his Royal Navy career long enough to be put to shore with a pension. When he’s called to assist in a court-martial, Everard finds one former lover, Post-Capt. Preston D’Arcy, at his side as part of the court-martial panel—and another, Vitaliy Gray, in the dock, under charges that mean he’ll hang. Panicked, Everard fabricates enough evidence to contradict the charges. But Vitaliy is more than just a Marine, as Everard thought; he’s the notorious pirate V. Varfolomey, and defending him means Everard has put his own neck on the line. A grateful Vitaliy concocts a plan: should Everard become his husband and heir to his command, Vitaliy’s crew will surely accept him. But with D’Arcy joining them as they flee south, intent on rekindling things with Everard himself, and three nations and a rival pirate crew all after them, the path to a happy ending is far from smooth sailing. The quantity of double crosses and political intrigue sometimes overwhelms the love story, but the emotional and physical chemistry between the men is strong and the swashbuckling adventure is good fun. As naughty as it is nautical, this is a winner. (Self-published)

Whoever was in charge of the movie poster for WICKER, bless you for giving us a classic historical romance clinch pose 😍

The movie poster for the upcoming October 23rd release "Wicker". It looks like a classic historical romance clinch pose, with the Wicker hero behind the heroine, his arm around her waist, her head thrown back against his chest and her pale grey dress flowing around.
