I’m keeping a running log of my favorite quotes - I may have to design a series of stickers for you ♥️ out of a pure, selfish need for all the TTS merch

“What hurts?” “My shoulder” hits so different after book 3. Every time I think I’m ready but nope, I never am.

In fact, if I ever have amnesia, the current instructions are to make me listen to the TTS audiobooks, watch the first 11 seasons of Vanderpump Rules, and reread ALIGNMENT. In that order.

You can tell how I’m doing mentally by whether or not I have started relistening to @kdedwardsnc.bsky.social’s Tarot Sequence series, which I can probably quote in my sleep. This series would wake me from a coma. I have listened to it so many times I made soundtrack playlists to go with it.

Cover of THE LAST SUN by KD Edwards. Read it!!!!

When in doubt, reread your favorite book. Here’s mine:

I’ll tell you mine: for ALIGNMENT to be so successful that branded Sharpies (Jack Nimble’s weapon of choice) get made, and for Starbucks to bring back the Frappuccino that inspired it all. Because how cool would it be to drink one while reading the book it inspired? 4/4

Now I’m dreaming big hoping that an agent will fall in love with this magical pocket dimension in my head so I can keep telling stories from that point of view. But I believe in dreaming your wildest dreams out loud so they can come true. What could be wilder than being a published author? 3/?

What started out as a love letter to the idea of a magical world with magical coffee, of elves using iPhones and orcs day-trading stocks, the magical made mundane by being everywhere, became a magical world in and of itself. What can I say? I dreamed big. After all, what writer doesn’t? 2/?

My wife texted me that the Unicorn Frappuccino was back, only to immediately have to retract her news since it’s only at Coachella. This limited edition release drink inspired me so much in 2017 that I wrote a whole book about a magical barista called ALIGNMENT. I’m querying that story now. 1/?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!!! Sending much love to my trans and non-binary siblings worldwide. Your bravery inspires me every day. You deserve peace and comfort and safety and love, and to live in a world where you don’t have to be brave at all.

I know I’m querying a whole manuscript so getting rejections isn’t anything special, but I’m very excited for my future rejection from TBQ. I’m going to frame it. And heaven help all of you if my short story actually gets accepted. I will become a menace.

Feeling the ruthless, diabolical, bloodthirsty joy of molding your inner world into shape, the arduous task of refining it over and over again, spinning straw into gold until your fingers are bloody and you are at last satisfied that it is finished. And a bonus fourth thing: knowing AI could never.

Am queer, can confirm. Be proud, live más!

I know I yell about this a lot but I literally got the best opportunities of my life just from sharing my weird art online. You can, and should, try the things that you've wanted to do but didn't because there was a part of you that said, "what's the point?" Sometimes the point is the joy of it bro

100% - the only billionaire “romance” I want to read is headlines about failed undersea expeditions. Speaking of fantasies - what’s your take on romantasy? I’ve read that to qualify, a story has to “not make sense” without the romance subplot. Do you think that’s a good rule of thumb for authors?

Hmm, that IS strange - maybe it’s a spaghetti-at-the-wall moment? Either way, I hope you get some amazing queer romances in your inbox soon. Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite/least favorite romance trope you want to see more/less of?

I wonder if it’s slop or a failure to read. As someone who’s followed you across platforms/knows you’re both cool & a fantastic agent, I’d LOVE to query you, but I also know from reading your MSWL that my story isn’t what you’re looking for. Sad they can’t do the basic courtesy/not waste your time.

N.Y.C. Officials Reinstate Pride Flag at Stonewall After Federal Removal

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

Can confirm: this is how ALIGNMENT got written. Except Jack is probably three or four things wrong with me 😅

I know the feeling!!! I was sending queries this evening and reread my synopsis and I was like “omg, I wish I could post about [redacted]! I forgot I wrote that scene!” Sending love to you from the neighboring trench, and I can’t wait for the day you can tell us more about all your favorite bits! 🖤

If you’re in the query trenches (or a writer at all) please read this wonderful post from Mick, one of the brilliant minds behind TBQ, which you should also be reading. Especially right now with all the atrocities going on, art made by humans is so important.

Congratulations on all the big life changes, my friend!!! You’re doing amazing! Here’s to a new year of living más!

Critical status update, y’all: Prince Crunchwrap Supreme and General Diablo are STILL
IN THE RUNNING!!!! I am so stoked!!!! 2026 is the year of whimsy, so if you’re reading this, go write that insane thing! You, too, may one day be considered by one of the world’s foremost literary zines!

You have to account for the fact that Judy Blume does not have a Monroe

I have to say one of the only reasons I check my Bluesky is to see what you’ve been knitting, Sue! Thank you for bringing your rainbows to the world 💜

We ate our sandwiches in silence, and I let my imagination have its head between sips of barely-cool Dr. Pepper. If I subtracted everything that had happened since we met—and ignored what had happened with Rowan in the alley—I could almost pretend we were on a date. The math was simple—sandwiches outdoors after dark with a hot guy? We were basically having a moonlit picnic, mausoleum or not. Of course, once I had let my imagination out to play, it didn’t want to stop. Sitting so close to Cyrus, I could smell the faintest hint of my own soap on his skin, mellowed out by time into something warm and mysterious that I suspected was a clue as to what kissing that marble-pale skin might taste like. With the necromancer close enough that I could feel the heat radiating off his body, I couldn’t help remembering how he’d held me tight against him, and how his large hand had been hot and firm over my mouth, keeping me quiet in the shadows. I couldn’t appreciate it at the time, too busy enduring the unexpected agony of watching Rowan walk away to protect us—to protect me—but I did now. My mind immediately jumped to what it might be like to have Cyrus hold me like that again, his strong body like a shield over mine as his gentle hands— This is bad, I told myself, wiping my hands on the parts of my jeans that weren’t covered in dust. I needed to focus. This was not the time to realize I was falling for— Oh. Oh, no. Excerpt from ALIGNMENT by Lizzy S. Briggs

Aww thanks, Fil!! That means the world to me.

And as for the “only one mausoleum,” I’ll go ahead and drop a snippet for you here. Let’s just say things escalate rather quickly from there. The great @klmcclan.bsky.social, my most trusted beta reader, wants EVERYONE to know about this chapter 😂

LOL where to begin? I have an agent guide pinned on my page, but I’m always down to answer questions!

THE LAST SUN x FINDER

When his past is resurrected, Jack, enchanter-turned-barista, has no choice: team up with his ex-best-friend-turned-parole officer and a single-dad necromancer to stop his ex’s demonic takeover of the Citadel before the eclipse ends, or die trying.
