If I must do the social media thing, I should probably spend a little less time on Meta’s platforms.

A reminder to Ontario voters: forget what the polls say. Most of these polls are commissioned by Cons to make it seem their victory is inevitable. Notice how all the "polls" Federal Cons have commissioned before PMJT resigned have suddenly stopped? It was all voter suppression. Please vote.

The great thing about this video is that it's shot in Quebec — meaning this Cybertruck is legally required to have snow tires on. It has snow tires and it STILL can't move.

My giant-ass box of bubble mailers *and* two boxes of books arrived today, necessitating a couple of Uber rides across east Toronto to pick up everything. Signed paperbacks will be available on Etsy soon, including copies of Echo, the last book in New Eden.

The lack of reader love for Kobo+ and its $9.99/month read & listen plan baffles me. It's cheaper than a KU subscription and you get both options included, or $7.99 if you just want ebooks.

Etsy store revived. ChitChats account set up. Looking forward to being able to offer signed paperbacks to readers outside of the Zon, who refuse to give the paperback buy box back to me, resulting in resellers drop shipping $20 books for $80 and up.

Heads up to fellow steamy romance writers... B&N has deleted 33 of my 69 titles thus far. As of today, they have kept all of the Avon/HarperCollins listings...because, of course, they did. And they still have my three latest cyborg romance releases likely because they have solid sales.

I have opened the edited file of the last New Eden book and am ready to tackle everything in Track Changes. I hate edits, so I’m putting this out there in the universe AND announcing that I will be finished with them by the end of the weekend to hold myself accountable.

What a terrible loss for his family and Canadian literature. I was lucky enough to meet Andrew Pyper when I won a writing award in 1998—he was the writer in residence at Trent University (iirc) and gave the keynote at the awards ceremony (cont) www.thestar.com/news/gta/and...

My least favorite compliment is when someone tells me "wow this wasn't even really romance, it actually had a great plot" or some variation on it, especially the ones who don't realize they just tried to start a duel with me and earnestly think they paid me a huge compliment.

I’d planned to write 2000 words today and didn’t. But I uploaded six (!) books to Smashwords that were published everywhere else over the last 18 months so today wasn’t a total wash.

2024 saw four category-length novels published. Probably not the best idea to do that during a US election year in retrospect, but they’re out there. 2025 will see three books (two novels and a novella) and it is absolutely insane that three books is considered slow for a romance author.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved. We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.
