Amazon says it only has 9 of my books left….which means if I can sell 9 on here Amazon will probably stick another order in to the wholesalers (it’s indie published) and I’ll make a little bit of hard earned cash… (90s feminist punk inspired revenge thriller with a bit of dark magic ✨ ) Link below

So often what are called “culture wars” are one set of people saying “please can we live without perpetual persecution” and another saying “no, f*** you” but the press considering the latter group have “legitimate concerns” and must be perpetually platformed

Remembering the time when I had cystitis when I was about 20 and my ex went to work and told everyone I had syphilis. His dad was in a senior position there. Apparently he looked horrified and, to reassure him, my ex said ‘don’t worry dad. They all get it.’

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Got this DM on Instagram. There are many measures for a book having made it, but I think a guy reading his wife’s copy of Broken Biscuits then borrowing it so he can lend it to his work husband is one of them. Dismantling toxic masculinity one guy at a time.

@lucynichol.bsky.social I read The 27 Club in two sittings, an amazing book! I loved the characters, the setting, the adventures/misadventures, and the treatment of MH was well handled and empathetic. A really engrossing book. I'll have to take a look at your other books :)

So yeah, if you fancy delving inside my brain (not sure I recommend it but…) then give The Party to End All Parties a try. It’s a party. With a murder. A load of treacherous family secrets. And a shit ton of party drugs just to mess things up a bit….

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

I wrote a book a few years ago that my agent described as a Northern Big Little Lies. I’m considering releasing it as a SubStack subscriber model, chapter by chapter. What do you think? Is there an appetite for something like this? Have you accessed a book in this way before? Any tips or feedback?
