Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

For example, check out some of these writers:

Someone who churns out hundreds of AI "books" and makes money tricking people into buying them thinking they're getting a novel isn't a writer. They're a scammer.

They're no more an author than a snake oil salesman is a doctor. It's just fundamentally a different thing.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

My laptop died a torturous death, which means I had to get a new one, and man oh man I forgot what it's like to have a keyboard that works.

The full excerpt: “[A]n extremely slow burn that pays off exponentially. The sex is super hot. Because Skylar and Pike learn early to communicate about pain and limitations, they’re great communicators by the time they do eventually hook up, which makes for some steamy dirty talk. Together they learn that while chronic illness comes with restrictions, their desire for one another does not. A strong debut about characters who meet
in the pause between pain and hope.”

This one features pike from my cover standing with his cane leaning against the excerpt and a pair of his goggles. At the bottom it says it’s all in your head is out February 10

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
