Would love moar cat pics if opportunity permits? :)

Sympathies! I've had Tilted Cot issues in nearly every campground I've ever tried to set up a tent in, even when I thought I'd found a flat spot to start with, because one's top half weighs more than one's legs and if the pointy cot legs are sitting on the least bit of damp, things sink in unevenly.

Cozy the Day Away logo: a cartoon of a blue axolotl reading a purple book, sitting in a large pink armchair surrounded by piles of books, with one stack topped by a curled up sleeping cat and another by a cup of tea. The words Cozy the Day Away Sale are written in a curve over the top of the armchair.

I have hacks - I take things meant for phone screen sizes, put them on a tablet, and sometimes leave nose prints on the screen XD also the contrast and big letters help.

In my dream world Bluesky would require alt text, but in my dream adjacent world we could propose alt text for untexted stuff...

MOAR RESEARCH!!!!!one! (thanks for the adorable link, Kathleen!)

totally gonna share that link around Celia Lake's Discord server, where there are both many fiber artists and many librarians :D

I was NOT prepared for this kitten YouTube video by Girl With Her Dogs

the best part of #indieauthor life: I can legit call this video research. Next book is Katayef and *Kittens,* 100% I am watching this on loop for *research* instead of distractions from writing the hard scene that ties together timeline details from 4 books 😅

💙📚🪐📚🌶️ I've given a book hangover? IDK whether to say "you're welcome" or "I'm sorry!" (Thank you SO MUCH, Sally!)

"I feel like I’ve spent the last few days in a fugue state because I wasn’t reading this book when I so desperately wanted to be. I loved it so much."

Fistbump of disabled solidarity. I can't use the platform; I don't know if the screen reader tools work, but the low vision tools I need haven't worked any time I've tried, and the response of "hey would you like to be our unpaid volunteer beta tester in addition to your day job?" was Not It.

What are your top 5 movies that you love to introduce people to?

Jodhaa Akbar
Happy New Year (Farah Khan)
Moulin Rouge
Dhoom 2 for the stagecraft & transforms
Dhoom 3 for affectionate lols when a director isn't familiar with deciduous trees' seasonal changes or how far Chicago is from any canyon

🙏📿🤲🍀

I don't know if your one particular thing resembles my one particular thing, but here's hoping!

(you may be able to hear the squeaking from the other side of the ocean! 😻)

Ah, well, I'll live in hope, keep my eyes open, and see if I can bribe your cat-muses with some catmint lemonade? 😸🍋

Trying not to be a total pest here, but do you possibly have plans for any more in this universe? (💕😍😺🤞)

Chai and Charmcraft's print proof: A chonker of a book on a soft gray sweater

💙📚🌈📚🪐📚🌶 proof copy just arrived! I have zero idea whether this photo is in focus, I'm relying on the cell phone here, but in Priye's words:
BOOK BOOK ALL BOOK MINE

oh excellent! :D *bookmarking to read as soon as I get out of a meeting* thank you so much!

(Have never seen Bridgerton myself...)

(I mean the seeing eye human part literally; I'm low vision and can't read most paper resources, so I'm limited to what's had ebooks released so I can zoom 'em in, unless I can find someone with a print edition who's willing to transcribe for me. Thankfully I know a lot of librarians! :D)

Kashkab and qatarmizat! I've found 10th c references in Internet summaries but haven't been able to dig into the sources, and after having discovered the "maqlouba then is not maqlouba now" documentation with a seeing eye human's reading assistance, I'd love to know what the journey through time is?

(eeeeeeeee!) Yes hi I loved it!!! And if you plan to write any more in the series I will gobble those up too!

And also do you have any more info on the drinks? Because I'd love to know that too. 💕📚😅🍵

Got a huge pile of business and marketing prep done for the May 1 launch, but zero new words written because the business and marketing prep ate the weekend, aside from squeaking about another writer's adorable book and falling into the research rabbit hole.

Brain algo: If business then not!writing

😍 hi hello where can someone buy this book please? I'm so here for more cozy fantasies in more places and more cultures!

(still out here going eeee solar powered cat tram! around sporadic pokes at the internet for more history on those beverages)

In my dream world I'd love to see C. Quince write more of these, even the same story from the other MC's point of view :D

I KNOW RIGHT? I made an idiot of myself squeaking into his mailbox about omg I thought I was the only person writing in this niche in English, *please write more* so we're not alone together, except you can't say that without sounding like an AI bot unless you're incoherent enough to not be AI? 😅

seriously, readerfolks, if you like some of my queer and catful Middle Eastern cozy books, I bet you're going to love this.

(Cat tram! Middle aged people getting to be the gently tired heroes and being loved as they are! Beverages I hadn't heard of before and got to start researching! CAT TRAM!)
