So many people who love to write, who want to learn more, who want to quietly share their excitements and frustrations - just don't. They think they don't qualify as a #writer. But no one gets to determine that but you. What 'rules' about #writing have you found to be... less than true?

Text says: Wholehearted Writers Week
January 12-16, 2026

You belong at a writers week if you: Are a writer; Want to be a writer; Secretly like to write; Dabble a bit; Write because it brings you joy; Haven’t finished ‘that’ project. No one else gets to say you’re not a real writer. Not even the mean gremlins in your head.

wholeheartedwriters.weebly.com

The background is yellow with diffuse rainbow light. Next to the comment about gremlins, there is one cartoon of a grumpy purple blob gremlin with two buck teeth and sprouts of green hair. There's also an excited green gremlin with horns, glasses, and spit inside its open mouth with its arms up.

It's fall now, and it's also bisexual awareness week, so I have to talk about Wisconsin Gothic. If you're into creepy autumnal vibes, I have them. If you like chaotic bisexuals, I have those too. Set in the '60s for maximum fun. ehlupton.com/links/ (all links) books2read.com/u/49dN1p (DIW)

Urban fantasy/queer historical romance for once and future academics who enjoy a good Shakespeare joke and wish magic was real.

The picture has the covers of the four books with a colorful squiggle connecting them.

Book 1: Dionysus in Wisconsin, by E. H. Lupton
The cover is black figure art of two men, one seated and dressed as Dionysus, one standing, wearing jeans and a leather jacket.

Book 2: Old Time Religion by E H Lupton. Done in Greek red figure style, two men are standing side by side, one dressed as Dionysus supporting one shirtless in jeans, holding an athame.

Book 3: Troth, by EH Lupton. An arrow picture with these words and arrows pointing to the book: spiders; cohabitation; unruly ghosts; petty theft; peace and love.
The cover is two men, one dressed as Dionysus, one in a leather jacket and jeans, both facing left. A spider is descending from the top and Dionysus is pointing at it.

Book 4: Lazarus, Home from the War, by E. H. Lupton. A vaguely Greek red-figure cover. Laz reclines on one elbow, extending a hand and a come-hither look to Eli. Eli is skeptical and not come-hithering at the moment.
