Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Things about mainstream publishing I wish more people knew: 1) The NY Times Bestseller List is a marketing list, not an accurate list of the best-selling books for that period. 🧵

Not rich, not famous, not even very healthy but I do live in a beautiful place and that's not nothing.

Photo of a sunset over a lake. The focus is on the silhouetted branches of a tree that is just beginning to bud for spring, so branches look crisp and black and the orange sunset is blurry to the point of being quite abstract.

Generally speaking, being kind takes way less energy than being an asshole. It also tends to lead to being surrounded by kind people rather than assholes overall. NB: kindness does NOT mean putting up with assholes.

The reason there's no working class representation in publishing is because publishing and writing currently pay so badly only people who are already financially stable can afford to do it. The problem is always, always money.

Nothing quite sums up cat ownership quite like buying a new comforter, having it immediately get claimed by the cat, and having to cut off the tag on it in the middle of the night because a certain someone decided it was an absolute delicacy perfect for loudly chewing on

Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

Like... the way you develop both taste and discernment in writing is to read *enough* that you eventually start going "Oh, I like this" or "Oh, I don't like this." Otherwise how do you evolve your own prose style?? A knife can't be sharpened on itself. You need to find a surface to use against it.

I have a sapphic awakening novel for #LesbianVisibilityWeek! OF SOCIALITES AND PRIZEFIGHTS is a butch/femme romance in 1920s London with magic: a boxer and car mechanic/a club singer who unwillingly turns into a leopard every night. ✨3.99 on Amz (also KU + paperback): www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSC1JHLV

Back cover blurb on an orange background over an illustrated leopard in a field of tiger lilies. Text:
When Deepa Patel rejects the wrong man, he curses her: every night, she will transform into a wild animal until her curse is broken by true love’s kiss. The problem is twofold. One: Deepa needs her nights to seduce shallow men into spending money on her—money she desperately needs to buy herself and her mother a better life. Two: she doesn’t believe in love. She’s never met a man she wanted to keep longer than a week, never mind forever.
She never considered her true love might be a woman.
Roz is unlike any of Deepa’s past suitors. She’s working class, with a nose that’s been broken at least once, courtesy of an underground boxing club. And she makes Deepa feel lighter and softer than she ever thought possible. But Roz can’t afford to give Deepa the life of luxury she craves.
Meanwhile, Deepa is posing as a wealthy nobleman's fiancée. There’s no love between them, but his lifestyle is everything she’s ever wanted. Caught between a real relationship and a loveless fake one, Deepa has to choose: give up on her dreams for a chance at true love, or make her dreams come true but stay cursed forever.

Of Socialites and Prizefights illustrated cover art: two women in silhouette, one butch, short, and white, the femme tall, slender, and brown, dancing in a field of tiger lilies against an orange background.

But bravery is contagious. There are people who think "maybe I should do something" who will look left and will look right, and if they don't see people doing things, they'll sit back down. Make sure that they see people doing things.

A yellow lab holding a pencil in their mouth sitting at a desk made of negative space, with books on shelves behind them. A green lamp and some papers with a big question mark written on them are on the table.
These are all spot illos on white bgs.

A terrier pushing a library book cart with their head while a grey and brown chihuahua rides on the top shelf.

A Lhasa Apso reading a newspaper at a desk in a chair. Their fringe covering the edges of their eyes.

Would you like some books written by an autistic author where the main character has autism and is not treated like a robot or alien? Who also has a job, a best friend, and eventually finds love even if he is still blatantly autistic? If so, then The Reanimator Mysteries series is for you.
