Taking the Amtrak from Albuquerque is great if you're going to Flagstaff and are on no semblance of a schedule, and you don't mind setting a 4 AM alarm for catching your return trip. That was, in fact, my situation the one time I tried it, and it was lovely.

TRULY! Last year, I took my first Amtrak because it was the first time in my life that its route lined up with where I was going. It was a delight. Delayed af both coming and going, but very comfy.

Thanks so much! It was fun to write. :)
It was SO fun having you there! Great seeing you, and thanks so much for reading ahead and blurbing it!
Sorry for the delay friends! I nudged the publisher about this, and they let me know that Bookshop fulfills from Ingram, who only stocks what is expected to sell. Well, it turns out the demand has exceeded expectations (yay!) so things are on backorder (boo!) but are moving.
QUEER PRESSURE OMG
Thanks so much for the very kind words!!!
Everyone who attends tonight's Flightless launch party will get THREE (three, I say!) party favors. Yay! There is still time to register before we get started at 5 PT / 8 ET: marieparks.com/launch 'Tis free, of course.
Not me picking my excerpt at the last second 👀
A screenshot of a Flightless promo. It's been reposted by two apparent cats. One says "Excellent book by an excellent author." The other commented with a flame emoji.
Delighted to see Flightless is polling well with cat readers.
thank you so much 💜
sending you a big hug for those kind words. thank you, Caleb. sitting with complex feelings today, as I know we all are.
Happy call-your-congressfolks-demanding-immediate-impeachment-to-prevent-yet-another-genocide day. Unclear on what they can do, but I did my daily calls & am trying to focus on work. Also, my book, Flightless, came out today, so that's... great? Summed up as Eat The Rich, but make it a fantasy heist
Thank you so much, David!

Thanks @timothyforner.bsky.social. Yeah this is... uh, yeah. Anyway, escapism, whee
Thanks! Yes it's... a day. 😬

Over a black, gray, white, and purple flag, the words, "Happy International Asexuality Day!" with a photo of Marie, labeled "Marie Parks, asexual fantasy author" along with the covers of her three books: Unrelenting and Undeniable (co-authored with Jes Honard) and Flightless.
Happy #internationalasexualityday! I'm happy to be contributing in my own small way to the body of ace representation in media. If younger-me had had access to my books, I might have discovered my sexuality before my mid-30s. My books are a labor of love for my fellow aces... and for everyone!
