💚 BOOK NEWS 💚 I am beyond thrilled to share that my first Romance novel THE FROG PRINCE will be published by @putnambooks in Summer 2027! 🐸👑

Debut romance novelist Lucy Lapinska's THE FROG PRINCE, in which a 30-something unemployed, bereaved woman kisses a frog for good luck, only to watch that frog magically turn into a charming, handsome-and somewhat out of place-fairy-tale prince, who teaches her that sometimes, wishes really do come true in the most unexpected ways, to Kate Dresser at Putnam, for publication in summer 2027, by Stuti Telidevara and Pete Knapp at Park, Fine & Brower Literary Management on behalf of Claire Wilson at Rogers, Coleridge & White (NA).

The Frog Prince
Cass Gabriel doesn't believe in happy endings.
But when she kisses a frog and ends up with a fairy tale prince, she has to admit that maybe there is room in her life for a little magic...

The Frog Prince
by Lucy Lapinska
Publishing Summer 2027

Bit annoyed to discover that the Scottish Greens aren't standing a candidate in my constituency this year. I know they do better on the regional lists but now I'm gonna have to hold my nose and vote for someone else

No?? No, this isn't a surprise? YP are an unmitigated fucking mess. They have literally been for months and months. When they're not slinging petty dollops of shite at the GP, they're justifying having terfs and landlords within their ranks or posting AI slop.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Because someone reminded me and I can't stop thinking about it: Warp Drives! Ship Design! Pictured: Howie Day's modelling of Mike Hansons' USS Arges mesh. I love seeing other species aesthetic in federation ships - it's not like the federation is human-only, why NOT Vulcan ship design elements?
