FIELD GUIDE FOR THE FORMERLY VILLAINOUS is available to read for the first time ever and I am so hyped! I love this cozy, cottagequeer D&D-meets-Stardew Valley book more than anything I've ever written. If you don't have an Edelweiss account, don't worry, it'll be coming to NetGalley in January.

The cover of a book sits on a textured purple background. The cover is largely blocked by large black bars, though bits of leaves, crystals, mushrooms, a cabin, and a dog peek out. The name Autumn K. England sits at the bottom. Inside the black bars is the text: "Now on Edelweiss! Cover reveal 1/10/26"

EXCITING NEWS!! Pre-orders for Dead & Breakfast through Always Here Bookstore will be SIGNED BY BOTH OF US!! You'll also get two spooky silly stickers and the joy of supporting an independent queer bookstore! www.alwaysherebooks.com/product/dead...

On a blue to green gradient background, green text reads "Preorder Campaign" with the book cover for Dead & Breakfast (Two men stand in the foreground. On the left, a white man with graying hair wearing a suit and tie holds a cup of coffee. On the right, a shorter man with long dark hair, pale skin, and a ruffly cravat holds a goblet of blood with a silky straw. They both have vampire fangs. Behind them is a field of flowers and a large house with a cat perched on a sign that says “welcome. Over the top is the title “DEAD & BREAKFAST” the tagline “come for the vampires stay for the scones” and the byline “Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor”) beneath. An orange and black bumper sticker says "COEXIST" with occult and paranormal iconography instead of religious symbols, and a die cut sticker says "The Dead & Breakfast" with a stack of pancakes and a stake through the middle. Beneath, text reads "Invite these vampires into your home via Always Here Bookstore before October 22nd to receive a signed copy and swag"

Hey, did you know my queer TTRPG anthology releases in just SIX DAYS?? It's full of queer coming of age stories set around the gaming table. If that sounds up your alley, you can preorder from Always Here Bookstore to get a signed bookplate and sticker! www.alwaysherebooks.com/product/this...

Book cover for This is How We Roll: A foursome of players surround a table. The DM with light brown skin and hair in a bun holds a d20 between her fingers and sits in a wheelchair. The players are a white gender nonconforming person with two toned hair and a mug that says dice goblin, a dark skinned girl with hoop earrings looking flirtatiously at the DM, and a boy with dark hair and gold hued skin wearing a sweat band in the colors of the trans flag. Above them, a large speech bubble depicts their characters: a firbolg with a dagger and bow, a blue skinned trifling in a purple dress, and a green skinned half-orc wearing heavy armor.

In a welcome counterbalance to the relentlessly depressing news cycle, my #fridayreads is Roll for Love by @mkengland.bsky.social. It's a charming, queer love story about celebrating nerdy joy, figuring out your place in the world, and finding your community.

The image shows the cover of the young adult novel Roll for Love by M.K. England. The cover image depicts two young women playing a table top Dungeons and Dragons game, while above them, their characters kiss.

Don’t change your subject headings. There is no library jail. Keep using the real names not these fake ones. Obeying in advance is worse than those doing the change because when you obey with soenthing that is clearly wrong you are putting false information into official “fact” places.

I'm writing another MG trilogy! ✨ Honored to be working with @caitlinrenata.bsky.social at Penguin Workshop to bring you Riley Dare, my spunky, bowtie-wearing, slightly magical puzzle master of a kid sleuth. Eternal thanks to @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social for believing in her! See you in Fall 2026 😉

The book announcement for Riley Dare: Slightly Witchy Sleuth. Text reads: "Caitlin O'Connell at Penguin Workshop has acquired world rights to Riley Dare: Slightly Witchy Sleuth and two sequels by M.K. England, a middle grade mystery in which Riley must solve a disappearance at the escape room she lives above, as well as uncover the truth of her small town’s most legendary crime, using her wits and just a touch of magic. Publication is scheduled for fall 2026; Eric Smith brokered the deal while at P.S. Literary Agency." The image is just some canva bs I threw together tbh, there's some keys and tarot cards and a lil stick figure running through a door because that somehow means escape room.

Hey librarians, are you getting requests for Dungeons & Dragons-related fiction from your readers? Can I interest you in ROLL FOR LOVE, whose gorgeous cover is sure to grab them? And it's a JLG selection, so it should meet your collection development guidelines! I do free book club visits too ✌️

The cover of the book ROLL FOR LOVE, which features two teenage white girls on the bottom playing dungeons & dragons while making blushing eye contact, while above their D&D characters kiss in the fantasy world of the game. The title splits the two worlds. The Junior Library Guild gold standard seal is in the top corner of the graphic, and below it reads: "Roll for Love is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection."

Did I almost set a book on fire completely by accident? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Nic sets fires for a living—as a scientist who studies the chemistry and physics of fire. Kira puts fires out for a living—as a firefighter in the same department where her father was fire chief. (👇)

In the background is a lit fireplace with orange flames crackling. In front, two books lay flat, the spines reading ALL FIRED UP - M. K. England. One copy of the book stands face out on top of the stack, showing the yellow cover with red lettering. On it, two women lay in opposite directions, one nuzzling the other's forehead. One is wearing a firefighter uniform undershirt with bunker gear straps and the other wears a button down shirt with a white lab coat over it.

Call to action-Childhood vax/covid boosters (plz boost) RFK has fired ACIP to replace with his antivaxxers; kid vax + covid/flu/RSV boosters are at risk. States can make their own requirements. Use @5calls.org or @resist.bot to call your STATE reps to keep vax access. Script outline below.

A call script for state electeds regarding vaccination schedule:

While your mileage may vary depending on which state/region you live in, this is an opportunity to call your STATE electeds (state senator, state assemblyperson, and governor) with the following outline:
-RFK recently fired ACIP members
-His goal is to replace them with an antivax agenda
-This will harm millions of kids while impacting seasonal covid/flu/RSV boosters for adults
-Something about your state's position or population needs (CA is a leader in progressive health policy and needs to protect its residents)
-As my elected, urging you to push your STATE Health Human Services Secretary to maintain the current childhood vaccine/respiratory booster schedule and proactively stock inventory for both
-Insert personal story here if you want. I include details about my wife's health conditions and how 2x/year covid boosters protect us so we can have a pretty normal life.
