BOOK MAAAAAIIIIIIL Yes I now have 2 Crown of Starlight ARCs but I got this 2nd one for my bestie from BN. The mailer was printed with Ariadne on it! IT CAME WITH ART PRINTS OF DIONYSUS AND ARIADNE. I knew a silver-eared goat name Dionysus. We called him Dion. @caitcorrain.bsky.social

I LOVE seeing nice reviews for my book but PLEASE don’t send me negative reviews. Even if you just want me to know what people are saying, what am I supposed to do about it? Throw a fit on social media & torpedo my career? The book is done & I’m not rewriting it for someone who won’t even reread it.

Authors! Please don’t forget to tag your cover artists in your cover reveals! They worked hard to create something special for you, and they deserve recognition for that!

Fun fact! The final draft of Crown of Starlight was round 20-something of edits! Most were before I queried because I’m the kind of author who really develops their story through the editing process, but I had 1 round with my agent & 4 with my publisher! How many rounds of edits do you normally do?

The book community doesn't agree on much. But can all just agree that asking freelancers to do work for you for EXPOSURE should be crime???!!

Bonjour mes amis Français! I’m absolutely stunned and thrilled to announce that the French translation rights for CROWN OF STARLIGHT have sold to @ed_pygmalion so if you’ve ever thought “I’d love to read a spicy Ariadne & Dionysus retelling in space but in FRENCH”, now you can!!

Gonna take all the money I'm currently wasting on streaming services that produce 90% garbage and cancel the 10% of content worth watching after 1 season, and pay someone to blow a trumpet in the ear of any media exec who complains about the strikes

I’m so used to posting threads on the other place that I keep forgetting they don’t work as well here as many people don’t see replies due to the default settings here of not showing replies unless they have likes. (Go to Settings & you can adjust this under Home Feed Preferences.)

“Home Feed Preferences” in settings is where you go to adjust the “Show Replies” setting among other things.

"This impulse – the creative dance – that is now being so cynically undermined, must be defended at all costs, and just as we would fight any existential evil, we should fight it tooth and nail, for we are fighting for the very soul of the world."

some of you have already started requesting REDSIGHT on netgalley if you're obsessed with Killing Eve, the Bene Gesserit, blind witches, or religious cults in space, you can request an arc of this book bit.ly/47nym78

A woman in red clothing standing in a mirrored room with a galaxy design on the glass. There’s a snake looking down at her and energy/magic coming from her hands. The title font is multicolored and it says REDSIGHT in all caps. the author name Meredith Mooring is at the bottom.
