Hi Bluesky! I figure it’s time for a reintroduction. I’m Jamie, she/they, and my debut novel, a gay vampire romcom called THE GOOD VAMPIRES GUIDE TO BLOOD AND BOYFRIENDS is out in August of next year and available to preorder now 🥰 (art: Andreea Dumata; design: Kerri Resnick)

Feels like the perfect storm for marginalized authors careers to be destroyed right now - book bannings, no organized meeting place on social media, racist algorithms, our books literally being censored everywhere and it really seems like nobody cares

Writing with the expectations and pressures of publishing is hard but what if you're a freak who ALSO applies expectations and pressures to "fun" writing like fanfiction, then what am I supposed to do????

Okay there were a lot of problems with Fourth Wing but I regret to admit that I did actually enjoy it or at least have fun with it. Dragon shenanigans can overcome the brutal info dumping, at least if you make it past the first 150 pages of military school nonsense.

2023 has been great for my reading!!! I thought I was being super bold by aiming to read 30 books this year (compared to my usual 20-25) but we're almost there at only halfway through the year! My favorite read of 2023 so far has been Spell Bound by FT Lukens. Any 2023 must reads y'all recommend??

Anyone else doing July #campnanowrimo? Tomorrow i'm starting to draft book 2 after endlessly revising my outline, and I'm nervous bc I haven't drafted anything in AGES and I know it's going to suck a little? I'm hoping that stating my intent on the internet will force me to stay accountable or w/e

Howdy Bluesky! I’m Jamie, a writer of quirky queer books, a designer and type snob, and a nerd of many interests. I love talking all things writing and publishing and pop culture. Happy to be here✨
