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

it was just wild, the og girls got a video of the og boys getting intimate with new casa amor girls, and it was like 2 guys who had been in solid couples, so at the recoupling, all the girls collectively tore the men to shreds for being disrespectful. it was fantastic and i wholly recommend!!!!

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????

Yes exactly!!! It's definitely not perfect but even when it's flawed it's addictive, and that's enough to carry you through!

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.

I'll report back for sure! I've heard people either LOVE it or HATE it and I was hoping I'd be the former but the signs are not looking good right now lol

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??

i bought fourth wing because dragons and upon reading the dedication and the acknowledgments i already have the intense feeling that me and miss yarrow are NOT gonna vibe

still getting acquainted with all of bluesky's stuff but the custom feeds and automatic mute/block lists are actually such sexy features so i'm excited to see this place grow!

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✨
