Oh no, the most despicable and repugnant human being on the planet doesn't like us. Gosh, this just makes me... so damned proud of my country. #Canada

Why I don't write #erotica "In his passion, he tore at her clothes, popping the buttons off her blouse. She moaned deeply, as she dreaded the thought of having to find beige buttons on the off-white carpeting. Also, she hated sewing and hoped her favourite blouse wasn't ruined." #writingcommunity

Weird peace deal. Iran gets: $300 billion. The US gets: an open a Strait that was already open 100 days ago and Iran won't build a bomb they don't have, and no inspectors (unlike Obama's deal) to verify compliance. This is the dumbest deal in 18 months of dumb deals.

I'm at that age where compliments get ruined with the 3-word qualifier at the end. Two recent examples... "You're looking pretty good... for your age." "You've managed to accomplish a lot... all things considered." Worse, I find myself appreciating their commitment to accuracy.

CORPSE BRIDE × 50 FIRST DATES × THE DEAD ROMANTICS A bored immortal mortician resurrects the woman of his dreams—again and again. But love becomes obsession, and she's decaying faster than he can let go. #WIPPIT #A #H #R

$A gothic-style book cover featuring a striking black silhouette of a woman in a long gown against a stark white background. Her form, particularly around her head and shoulders, appears to be fracturing or dissolving into dark particles, with her long hair blowing to the right. The entire scene is framed by an ornate, black Art Nouveau-style archway. At the bottom, a textured, smoky black mist rises. The title at the top reads "The Immortician" in a metallic gold font, with "The" written in an elegant cursive script. Near the bottom, the words "Love. Obsession. Decay." are spaced across the width in a classic serif font, and below them, the text "A NOVEL BY B. VAN BODEGOM" appears in a clean, all-caps sans-serif font.$

⭐️ WIP ALERT ⭐️ I’m so excited to finally share THE DESERT KEEPS HER DEAD, my weird western fantasy heist WIP featuring: ☀️ a death-obsessed paleontologist ☀️ her bounty hunting ex best friend ☀️ a fossil worth stealing ☀️ a desert worth saving #WIPPit #A #F #LGBT

WIP guide to The Desert Keeps Her Dead, a weird western fantasy heist.

Website: www.saraduranauthor.com.

$WIP: The Desert Keeps Her Dead. The pitch: The Desert Keeps Her Dead is a weird western fantasy set in a desert frontier where water wells are created using the bones of extinct beasts. When a death-obsessed paleontologist is pulled into a high-stakes theft by her estranged bounty hunter best friend, she joins a fractured crew, including a runaway teen aristocrat and a desert-drifting inventor, to steal the only intact specimen in the world. As the heist’s pressure mounts, new loyalties surface and old betrayals take hold. What begins as a routine job becomes something far more dangerous: a choice between seizing the fossil’s power or destroying it for good, and with it, the fragile system keeping the desert alive. Comp titles include The Water Outlaws, Red Rabbit, And Side by Side They Wander, and The Geomagician. Website: www.saraduranauthor.com.$

WIP: The Desert Keeps Her Dead.

The team: Amelie, the expert: death-obsessed paleontologist, twinless twin, anxious girlie, Dehla’s ex-best friend. Dehla, the leader: bounty hunter, gunslinger, Amelie’s ex-best friend. Lu, the wildcard: runaway aristocrat, fifteen years old, baby enby, mission bargaining chip. Silas, the getaway car: desert-drifting inventor, former soldier, groveling MMC, Amelie’s love interest. Shae, the obstacle: rival bounty hunter after the same target, knife-to-throat baddie, Dehla’s ex-girlfriend.

Website: www.saraduranauthor.com.

WIP: The Desert Keeps Her Dead.

The vibes: heist story inside a fantasy world, weird western vibes, gothic desert setting, paleontology, bone-based magic, evil oil companies, blood-drinking cultists, creepy desert creatures, dual-POV, adult friendships, M/F and F/F romance, morally gray ladies, sapphic and enby rep, anxiety rep, ecological lens, and setting as character.

#WIPPIT #WIP #M #Comedy #R #TBP There's a killer on the loose, and Private Detective Abby Lunay's been arrested. Will she work the case and risk years in prison or fight the charges and let a killer go free? Book vibe: imagine Douglas Adams writing a murder mystery.

I don’t care about your politics/religion, I care about how you treat others. When I condemn zealots (here and US) it's not politics/faith – it's about humanity. I stand against people pushing hate and removing protections of the most vulnerable. I condemn them because of their lack of compassion.
