Audiobook is now live! A year's worth of work, a total of 12 hours of audio, maybe 100 hours of behind-the-scenes editing and fixing and remaking... It's on Audible right now 🙂 Click here! I also want to take a moment to say hello! I'm going to be at the Writer's Row at Russo's Books this November…

But I am le tired. Anyway Spencer and DeWitt: Man on Fire is a detective novel, if detectives lived in an X-Men-like universe. And I wrote it and it's out on Amazon and I kind of like it? So if you would also like it, that would be great.

So I started watching Yu-Gi-Oh for the first time as a 36yo woman and 1. It is the dumbest show ever made 2. They consistently just make stuff up in the card game so Yugi can win 3. Oh my god they are making Crocs and they are just as inconvenient as you can imagine

Dolly was an advocate, a believer, a reader and a generous, loving soul, who helped people up when they could not help themselves. If there is a heaven, Dolly is most definitely singing with the angels there.

Gutted about the death of Dolly Parton. A creative force to be reckoned with but most of all, a reminder that your fame does not get to determine who you are deep down. Wealth does not make a monster. The monster was already inside. Money and fame just allows you to act on your beliefs.

DeWitt normally. He's too emotional for the job he has.

Esme Carpenter @ec-writes.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Spencer is very prim, proper and matter of fact. DeWitt is way more casual! The hard part is separating what they sound like when they text each other because that is night and day.

I actually hear them in my head when I write them, and then when I say them out loud I don't get close to what they sound like. It's frustrating lol

- gender affirming care is healthcare - healthcare should be free - LGBTQ+ people of all stripes are valid and should have the same rights as everyone else - believe people who say they were sexually assaulted and do not support the rich and powerful who deny those allegations What else?

I would like to go on record with the following statements: - trans rights are human rights - trans men and women are REAL men and women - if you continue to support anyone who does not believe this with your money, I will lose respect for you And while we're at it: - abortion is healthcare
