It’s Election Day in California. I’ve never voted without putting thought into the issues and candidates, but my polysci grad did a deep dive into every candidate and their platforms and policies. It’s a special, sacred right to vote in this country. If you haven’t already, get out and vote.

Happy May the 4th. I’m holding on tight to the idea that rebellions are indeed built on hope. 💫 #maythe4th

No, none of this is normal. We’ve lost the plot, quite literally. There’s nothing to laugh about because it’s just one atrocity after another. But let it sink in that what our government is doing is so outlandish, cruel, evil, and unthinkable that if this were a plot no one would believe it.

A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves. California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Vaxed to the max and stocked up on Tylenol while I was at it because I refuse to take any medical advise from a dude with a brain worm.

Japan is a stunner in so many ways. It makes even more aware of how caustic the US is right now.

As if I needed another reason to be disgusted by Meta. If you’re an author odds are good they’ve stolen your work too. 38 of my books were used to train their AI without my permission along with millions of other titles. Time for a class action lawsuit? #booksky #writersky

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

One of the best perks of being an author is getting an early look at books soon to hit the shelves. Here are three books that I’ve blurbed and loved. They’re all coming to a bookstore or library near you soon. Add them immediately. Your TBR will thank you, trust me! #booksky #writersky

AI, come for my job! One theme consistently coming up with my writing students is fear over AI. Will there be a market for AI books? Sure. But I firmly believe there will always be space for stories told by humans, breathing blood, sweat, and tears onto the page. What about you? #booksky

What do you call this cake? 🎂 My niece requested I bake a yellow “snack cake” with chocolate frosting for her birthday. We’ve always called this snack cake in our house because cake is the perfect snack, right?

I have a new Valentine’s mystery releasing featuring a blind date with a book weekend and I just learned that my local bookstore is doing a Valentine party—after hours at the shop with a book scavenger hunt and champagne. Yes, please! 🩷 If you’re in the Bay Area check out Leigh’s Books. #booksky

It’s a bad time to be working on recipes for the next Bakeshop Mystery. Although also an opportunity to include more vegan bakes. Flax seed, applesauce, vinegar and baking soda, here I come. Any other suggestions I should try?
