Sorry I'm a bit MIA on here at the moment—recovering from a bit of surgery but will have some new book news soon, and will also be releasing an e-book edition of Misdirected shortly. 📖 I hope everyone's doing well (as well as possible in the continuing trashfire of the world right now)! 🩷

Christmas Day is almost over here (and after a difficult year for almost everyone, I think, today has been lovely), but it's just beginning in a lot of places, so Merry Christmas to everyone if you celebrate, and I hope you have the best day whatever you're doing. 🎄❤️

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I see it's the seasonal argument about why piracy to fuck over Amazon and publishers is okay while many authors live below the poverty line.

I don't know if anyone else is also getting an increased amount of AI emails at the moment, claiming to be from readers and other writers (and I'm pretty sure they're using the names of real authors, whom I'm also fairly sure do not actually want to connect with me to create a "network of love").

A favour to ask from somebody in the US—could somebody possibly check and see if Act Like It and Pretty Face are currently on sale for $1.99 and $2.99 respectively; I can't see the US prices. Thanks so much. :)

Last night I was doomscrolling reddit and this post was like… an unexpected poem and also now I want to whisper little love spells over everything I make. For my own good as well as for others.

A screencap of a Reddit post in the r/crochet subreddit by user Ragdoll232. The subject line reads “My MIL tells me Yarn has Memory.” The post reads “I know she means for shape, but I just want to whisper words of love into this sweater I’m making my husband so it remembers and can remind him how loved he is.”

In honour of a belated Valentine's Day, here are some of the very loving Valentine texts between Lainie and Richard (who would have a lot of things to say about the nightmarishly bad state the world is in) from Act Like It, written for Elena's Book Blog years ago. elenasbookblog.com/love-words-r...

This week's Tuesday snippet comes from Wooing the Witch Queen...which comes out in just one week! (And I've been seeing exciting photos of it already showing up on some North American bookshelves...) Find all of the preorder/buy-links here: www.stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing... #romancelandia

An image of the front cover of Wooing the Witch Queen shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. Above and beside it is this snippet from the book:
The witch queen of Kitvaria might be capable of many previously-unheard-of things, but she was certainly not interested in flirting with him now. Perhaps she was in a whimsical mood, after whatever great spell she’d been working on the roof; more worryingly, she might be hinting at real anger.
Either way, he had to remember that she was infinitely more likely to kill him than to kiss him, no matter what his treacherously reawakening body might wish him to imagine.

In the centre of the square image is the cover of Stephanie Burgis’s Wooing the Witch Queen, which shows a sinister witch queen in a spectacular beaded dress embracing her handsome and adoring new librarian (in a black wizard's robe) inside a library of magic filled with crows and masks and flying books. Around it are these bits of descriptive text: Fierce, bi witch queen; sweet, nerdy hero with a secret identity; found family; mischievous crows; magical library; flirting with fountain pens. At the bottom right corner of the image is a picture of a glittering black masquerade mask.

I mean, I know Dominic was a bit frosty at times, but I feel like calling Battle Royal, a romance about pastry chefs, a "vampire romance" is a *little* harsh on him, Amazon.

Screenshot from Amazon with a ranked book listing in the Vampire Romances category. Not a vampire romance.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Is there a way to block people without having to actually click through to their profile? Because I can’t be bothered even engaging that much, and they inevitably have some sort of arsehole post right at the top of their timeline. Hoping I’m missing the obvious, or that feature will be added soon.
