Like, I want to show my co-workers my cover because holy shit, it's fucking incredible, but I also don't want to show them because I don't want them digging around my author accounts where I talk about how no one should have a boss and cops suck. #booksky

I pitched this artist as a total long shot pie-in-the-sky suggestion. I actually still can't believe that I'm looking at the cover of MY book and it was illustrated by an artist I admire so much.

I'm absolutely NOT going to avoid a book I've been looking forward to because some people believe the character doesn't match their personal interpretation that they put into a 300K coffee shop AU 🤷 #booksky

I'm bisexual and I wrote a book about a bunch of queers pissing off the cops and inventing public services. You're obligated to notice me today. Thanks. #bivisibilityday #booksky

What if every day I just posted that social media sucks and I hate it and that was my “author brand” (real feelings)?

The most dystopian moment of my life occurred yesterday when, upon leaving a corporate chain grocery store employing illegal dynamic AI price gouging, I heard a busker just outside it playing Bella Chao. I don’t know how to top that.

We are listening to Macklemore radio at work in solidarity, but I'm not gonna lie, it's a *rough* Pandora station.

I work in a place where I get to choose the music each morning. People are about to hear a lot of Macklemore at 6 a.m.

I wonder why legends and lattes never gets classified as romantasy. What could be the difference? Where might this assumption come from? 🧐🧐🧐🧐 (I don’t wonder. It’s very obvious.) #booksky #fantasybooks #cozyfantasy

I was with a bunch of ppl this weekend who had books with them and audiobooks on their phones, but they weren’t really “book people,” if that makes sense. And at some point they casually talked about pirating books, and the vibe was “why would I ever pay for a book? I can’t even imagine doing that,”

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

Crazy that the republican regime has done more for vegetarianism than anything else I’ve witnessed or experienced since becoming vegetarian almost 20 years ago.

Enjoying the last satchel of my favorite special tea in the hopes of having a super strong climbing day today and then a productive Saturday of facing my demons and planning...*shudders*...public events I have to be at. #writerlife

Truly one of the dumbest things I’ve ever written. It could be yours for the low low price of free (some day. Not today. Stay tuned). #booksky #fantasybooks
