Hi, Bluesky! It’s been a minute and I so have updates for you. But first: I’m being impersonated by an email scammer. Please report and delete any emails from: DanieleHunterMcIntoshAgency [at] gmail . com. This is NOT ME. Any agent emails I send will be through QM or my company address.

I am one of the people who helped edit the last three books in the series, and I agree with this. JKR has shown that she enjoys her cruelty, and no matter how much I loved the books back then, I can't watch this.

While I’m still closed to general queries as I catch up and evaluate my bandwidth, I’m doing my best this year to work with more conferences & donate more to auctions I believe in. One of those is open now via Book Lovers for Liberation, I’ve given two hourlong AMA Zooms! url-shortener.me/D5DD

Currently querying with @danieledhunter.bsky.social 🥰🥰

Text that reads: IT WILL BE US. Bone cancer didn't kill sixteen-year-old Will Harmon, but that doesn't mean he's ok. When he learns his sister's new dance partner is his former rival, the enigmatic lain Ahn, Will thinks his junior year can't get any worse. But like his step-mom says, not all change is bad, and a good change might just be Will's evolving relationship with the boy he suddenly can't stop thinking about.

My "mundane superpower" has always been reading quickly (which I know is a privilege in my profession). This year, though, I’ve been juggling an intense workload, ever-fun Health Stuff, & wading back from burnout. So it’s been a struggle to stay on top of my reading at all, let alone quickly. (1/)

Daniele is a short, fat white woman with curly auburn hair and glasses, wearing a bright-yellow dress and a floral headband. She grins exuberantly, at the edge of the ocean, against a beautiful blue sky with puffy white clouds. End alt text.

Daniele holds up her pale arm in front of the ocean. On the inside of her wrist, parts of her tattoos are visible, including the words "slow dance" and "so lucky," which are each written in different cursive fonts. End alt text.

Happy Pride, Bluesky! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Daniele is a short, fat white woman with curly auburn hair and glasses. She wears a black shirt with the word “proud” written in the shape of a heart, in rainbow textured letters. She grins in front of her bookshelf. End alt text.

Daniele’s white arm with a daffodil tattoo holds up a clear sparkly cup. It’s decorated with two stickers: The first is a Progress Pride flag with “love has no limits” written on it, and an illustrated cat in the colors of the asexual flag. End alt text.

Daniele stands in her Pride outfit holding a tote bag that reads “banning books won’t stop us from writing new chapters.” Her arm is around her husband Quincy, a Brown trans guy with black hair, beard, and glasses. His black tank top reads, “We add more genders every time you complain.” End alt text.

Daniele grins gleefully in a bookstore, wearing her Pride outfit and a white face mask. She points to a copy of the book “You Owe Me One, Universe,” a middle grade contemporary novel by her client Chad Lucas. End alt text.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.
Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

So I will say this as gently as I can: given the current state of the world, cons (especially held in the US) should really keep or enhance their online programming instead of eliminating it. I understand it takes resources to run a hybrid con but the alternative is to exclude the rest of the world
