I highly recommend TSoA obviously (honestly if you haven’t read it… WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???) but D&B is genuinely laugh-out-loud funny

Book 2 finished (The Song of Achilles, a reread), beginning book 3 (Dead & Breakfast by Kat Hillis and Rosiee Thor). Very funny so far!

Picture of my book: Bump, Set, Sparks. Two women in silhouette walk on the beach holding hands, palm trees around. The moon on the horizon looks like a volleyball. The text says: Two rival volleyball players compete for the championship in this summer romp full of community, crushes, and courting from the author of Flirty Dancing.

“Romance and rivalry collide like waves on the beach . . . a true love story that’ll hit you right in the heart!”
—Matthew Hubbard, critically acclaimed author of The Last Boyfriends Rules for Revenge

“Talk about an ace of a rom-com . . . A joyful and heartfelt must-read!”

So proud to be featured in @strangehorizons.bsky.social Criticism Special. Big thank you to @danhartland.bsky.social for including my musings on fast produced pop fiction - a review/publishing trends analysis, with some perhaps non-obvious appreciation for Ben Alderson's achievements in that space.

New review @strangehorizons.bsky.social! An obscure folk band is thrust into fame in a horror novel about the perils of social media. How do you preserve creative joy in a world that commodifies art and feeds obsession? Thanks to @danhartland.bsky.social for taming this monster of a review.

One for the weekend at SH today: @hanacarolina.bsky.social doing some proper thinking about Joey Batey’s It’s Not A Cult (@bloomsburyraven.bsky.social). She argues that the novel’s particular “aesthetic approach … challenges the romanticisation of artists … and sensationalisation of relationships.”

It’s Not a Cult by Joey Batey

It’s Not a Cult is obsessed with mediation.

To expand a bit: There's a whole culture of noise around writing - cover reveals, giveaways, courting bookstagrammers, launches, awards lists, promo art - and none of it moves the needle more than a fraction. You know who gets attention? People who are already successful. Just write.

Book 1 in my trilogy A HARD SELL is on sale - only 99 cents! When I wrote it my goal was “write the cutest cuteness I can.” Queer warm fuzzies, fake dating x 3, only one bed, it’s all there. Also perfect for gifting to a friend (or 3) who likes adorable escapism 🥰 #romancelandia #indiebooks 💙📚 🌈💜
