A little birdie (aka a bookseller) has informed me that THE HEX GIRLS: A ROGUE THORN is available on Edelweiss! If you use that platform, please request and recommend my #ScoobyDoo book there! And for those of you who prefer NetGalley, stay tuned! I have positive news on that coming soon!
I am over the moon excited to announce my preorder campaign for THE HEX GIRLS: A ROGUE THORN! All preorders from @gritcitybooks.com, my local independent bookstore, will come signed and with an ✨exclusive✨ art print of Thorn drawn by the incredible @nicoledeal.bsky.social! 1/2
Is there a better feeling than reading a romance novel, knowing the LI is obnoxiously in love with the MC, and getting to watch said MC realize this over an extended period of time? Bonus if they thought the LI hated them for years.
The correct answer is “no” at this moment btw.
I have a new update to our ongoing housing/life fundraiser. I am losing the last lifeline I had to my ability to maintain a productive life and work towards a better future. I have no hope left. gofund.me/f79eaf5b

We had to take Padfoot to the city for a vet visit today (a local charity is helping with the costs to fix her aging teeth), so while we’re waiting for her to be done we stopped by Third Place Books and I found #TheShadowSister in stock! Signed it for the next lucky customer!
This is not a full update, but instead a quick one to inform you I was able to successfully schedule and complete the emergency dental surgery I needed yesterday morning. I’ll post a more detailed update after I heal, but I wanted to quickly thank you and let you know I’m on the way to recovery.
FIRST UPDATE: Wish I had better news. I’ve lost the last month of productivity to the consequences of a dental emergency and if I can’t come up with $1500 I’m going to get progressively worse until July. www.gofundme.com/f/ongoing-su... (Full text in update at link.) 1/2
I’ve launched a new fundraiser for ongoing support now that the purpose of our original fundraiser to “prepare” to be homeless is technically complete. This months update includes health concerns and continuing costs of poverty. gofund.me/c0cc5aa2 ♥️ Please share.
Happy PAPERBACK Book Birthday to #TheShadowSister! It should be available wherever you shop for books, but if you wish to support a local independent may I suggest GritCityBooks.com? I had a lovely chat with them today and hope to make their store my new home for signed copies.
A more lengthy housing update will come soon (I’ve had a rough January and have been under the weather), but I just wanted to make a quick update saying that I figured out how to accept PayPal donations without fees. I’ve updated my links: lily.la/paypal
The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.
Is so good
This bill in OK is exactly what Project 2025 threatened: to make all pornography illegal, and criminalize the people who make it, using a WILDLY broad definition of pornography, which would include any book with sex in it.
We're talking jail time for romance authors.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Hi! Yes very interested!
On the one hand I read the ne*l ga*man article and it disturbed me to my core and made me nauseas. On the other I got an arc of BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL and felt unparalleled joy. A lot of ups and downs today.

My accounting firm recently rebranded this year and have decided THE WEEK BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR, to let me go as a client to focus on bigger more important ones. If anyone has any Washington based accountants that work with authors, please let me know. I’m in emergent need.
Also while I am posting things when I should be doing dishes or sleeping or something, this book just came out a week ago and people say it reminds them of the best 90s and 2000s romcoms. 😍💚
