Sticky note with the quote:
"A demonically good time—a vicious satire of startup culture and urban fantasy alike, leavened with romance."
Max Gladstone, New York Times-bestselling author of Dead Hand Rule and co-author of This is How You Lose the Time War
Cover of Startup Hell by Caitlin Rozakis
The brilliant @maxgladstone.bsky.social liked STARTUP HELL - maybe you will, too!
Out May 19!

People who suddenly feel like their transphobic “jokes” and “fairness in sports” takes are a bad look while the government forcibly detransitions people don’t get to say “oh that’s not what I meant!” You did mean it! People told you what it meant and you did it anyways!

I keep getting queries that refer to my "interest in historical settings" and... is this an AI thing? My wishlist mentions historical twice and both times it's as something I don't want. Is it because I'm technically open to historical fiction on qm?

February was a rough month so I'm happy to see it go. I feel like i'm drowning. Started with a burst pipe in my condo building, my childhood bff's mom passed away, my parents lost one of their dogs, and yesterday my eldest niece went to the ER with a blood sugar of 500+

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
