The Governor just signed my bill to allow people to sue ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agents for violating people’s constitutional rights. Starting immediately, people can sue federal agents retroactive to abuse occurring in March 2025.

Many responses to this begin with 'I am a human artist' and as an SFF author I must say this is not the first contact we were hoping for.

So delighted to be bringing this book with its simply gorgeous cover to the UK. Retaining Maxine's whimsical and charming illustration was an absolute no-brainer - it fits the book so beautifully! And then our lovely Profile designers decided on a font that seemed to fit the story perfectly 😍

I know this might help electorally, but do not forget that the *vast* majority of Republicans still support Donald Trump. They have *not* 'learned their lesson' or had an 'epiphany' or whatever other horseshit that people who want to be buddies with Republicans might say.

THE LAST INFINITY is out now! Come check out my book about time traveling disaster gays and the terrible things I put them through: books2read.com/b/bwMZ99. #TimeTravelAuthors #WritingCommunity

White text on a red starry background that says "Out Now!" and then lists the following tropes: time travel, found family, mlm and wlw relationships, I'll love you in every reality, disabled MCs, chronic illness, androids and robots, set on Mars. Available on Amazon, Kobo, Smashwords, and more!

White text on a red starry background that reads: Cal Hunter is a cryo, a person who was cryogenically frozen after his death in the 22nd century. Resurrected four hundred years later, he now lives in the 26th century and works as a time traveler for the time agency on Mars.

After a mission goes disastrously wrong, Cal returns to his present to find that he's seriously altered the timeline. All life on Earth and the Moon has been wiped out, leaving only a failing settlement on Mars of fewer than two thousand people. Even worse, Cal can no longer time travel due to his injuries.

The only person who can fix the timeline is Renata Carr, a teenager from the 20th century. She's brought out of cryogenic suspension, and a reluctant Cal is put in charge not only of her training, but also her well-being. Meanwhile, Renata grapples with the grief of waking up in a strange century on another world while also coming of age—and falling in love with the daughter of one of Cal's friends.

When disaster strikes the settlement, the timeline for humanity's demise rapidly speeds up. While Cal knows he must send Renata on a mission she isn't ready for, and which will likely kill her, he is torn between saving humanity's past, present, and future, or the girl he's come to see as a daughter.

This book is so much better than any cute-arrow-meme! It carves into the marrow of fantasy. The creatures we elevate, the powers we deform ourselves to accept. But also: romance! Humor, horror, and a broken, resilient protag. (This book is also far better than all comps to this book. Come at me.)
