If you've ever wondered where to start reading my books, I have a guide here: www.courtneymilan.co... /jb
A bookshelf, bookending by a dragon head and tail, with books by Courtney Milan in series, separated by little book nooks showing miniature tableaus.

I should be packing or working or folding laundry. Instead, I spent the last hour making a new watercolour palette with Stoneground paints lol (don't have my phone anywhere near me so no photo)

VERY SERIOUSLY I want this referendum on if we're having a referendum to end so that we can move on to the UCP infight live on the CBC as is our cultural heritage.
Just drove from Edmonton to Calgary and passed a billboard that said "Vote option 2 to send them a message" and there's a picture of Carney and...you guessed it...Trudeau. Dudes, unless your name is Katy Perry, JT ain't listening to your messages

Ricardo asked about the Alberta referendum on if we should have a referendum, and I tried to answer what's actually going on here over the course of a bunch of non-caffeine fueled posts. For anyone who is confused!

I wanted to get more work done on Grief this morning, but I have to do the "consult the geographic and town plan" part and my brain went "nah" lol Going to take a break for a bit and try later today when the caffeine kicks in better.

Just hit the 70% mark on the final go through on Grief*. I am doing a final light edit along with all of the layout notes (all in one go). I was hoping to be done before I leave for vacation, but I guess I'm taking the laptop with me now b/c I won't be able to relax knowing how close I am

Elections Alberta website confirms my ballot has arrived, so that's nice. I cannot believe I am voting in a referendum to have a referendum, like that money could've turned been used to rent space at WEM for an urgent care or drop in clinic 🙄

Peaches wanted her box up on the bed. I got distracted gathering up the laundry to bring downstairs. She was screaming at me to move her box, and I was too slow for her. She peed on my pillow. So I had to use a spare pillow last night and had the worst sleep of my life 😭

Again. The reason I have harped on about Atthis Arts and Emily (EDE) Bell for well over a year now is because she is in a position of power and the below is an example of that abuse of power against *one of her still under contract to this day authors.*

What *exactly* is Daggerheart? I see a lot of "for Daggerheart" indie TTRPGs on itchio and ... like are these supplements to the core game? Are they "in the style of"? Does it mean a system (such as "5e rules" or "Fate") ? I googled and I'm more confused than ever. I want to understand 😭

I guess I've been lax at posting over here, but I will try to be better. An intro: I'm Emma, I'm an editor at Harlequin, and in my spare time I'm writing a nonfiction book about romance in horror movies because I love horror. Always happy to answer questions about Harlequin if I can!

Just tore my way through all four of the Ladies Occult Society books and am recommending them to everyone who likes: - Regency - Magic - Stories that are less about the magic than they are about the women and how they forge connections among themselves And now they're ✨ON SAAAAAAAAALE✨

Any author considering working with Emily Bell needs to consider what happened to me. And the same has happened to other authors. No editor should harass their authors like this, but Emily has done it repeatedly. 16/
