Also are any of y'all on substack? I only follow political folks and want more spice 💕

Turns out writing a dissertation, keeping a publishing schedule, living through a fascist takeover and...oh, finding out you're having a kid? Hard to keep up with. What's new, Romancelandia?

Two years ago I decided to write a werewolf priest omegaverse and somehow ended up being a better Christian than most Evangelicals. I call this the smut to salvation pipeline.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Galactic Librarians book 2 is now with my wonderful beta readers! It's been a fucking week...but these little books bring me so much solace and joy. Because yeah they're romances, but they're also stories about love *after* cataclysm. After authoritarianism and climate collapse. After war.

There's something deeply ironic about having to do an IT security training for work when the secretary of defense accidentally looped in a journalist to his war plans on signal.

If you're more concerned about Emily Rath than the fact that our government is sending innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU BABE. VERY WRONG.

If you hate it when people say romance books shouldn't be political, might I recommend my alien romance where the hero grapples with surviving an authoritarian regime 👀

Imagine your roommate just invited her psychotic ex to come and live in your house against your will. Now he's locking all the doors and none of your friends want to come over because he's an asshole. Kinda what it's like to be a sane American right now.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

Went to a show last night where the artist kept yelling at us to be louder, so I did the most punk rock thing I could think of and disobeyed by being calm and polite.

We have to hold all of these things at once. It's so jarring.

Dissonance is also one of the themes of said book - a cozy setting for a romance that grapples with the fallout from war, imperialism, and authoritarianism.

Chloe Parker @chloeparker.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Dissonance is trying to promote an alien romance bc you still have to make a living while a Nazi Karen poses in front of prisoners in a gulag and your government pulls political enemies off the streets to be incarcerated.

When your alien boyfriend reads romance bc he's trying to figure out how to woo you... JUST FOUR MORE DAYS until I get to share my book baby with y'all! AHHH.

A couple lies partially dressed in a pile of pillows and blankets, both reading. The man is a pale vampire alien with long white hair. The woman is white with short brown hair. They are surrounded by rich red silk and golden light. Over the image is the text:

"Really? Bodice rippers?"

"Well, you did ask me to pull your hair and call you a good girl the other day..."

Yes, it’s an alien romance. Yes, there’s psychic sex. Yes, he reads naked. But also? This is a story about empire and memory. About the archives we inherit—and the ones we try to rebuild. The Alien in the Archive launches April 1st. I hope you love it 🖤✨

Not judging it at all - just interesting bc gender fluidity is so profoundly human. Like we use this crazy collage of stuff (culture, biology, and more) to make our gender, which is cool af! But we make our monsters nonbinary before our human characters (not all the time).

Chloe Parker @chloeparker.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Currently in dev for a book with a genderfluid character and thinking about how frequently we see genderfluid folks in "weird" romance (PNR, SFR, monster), how often the "other" in the dynamic is the genderfluid one, and what that means.
