Le chat contribuera-t-il à vendre le nouveau livre? books2read.com/changelin1

Just 102 minutes left!

Happy Lunar New Year!

This a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone.

Sighing and glaring at Discord. I really don't want to have to change my social hangouts every three months guys. Can the tech bros please just stop breaking things?!

So, uh, it's back to freezing here in Calgary at last. I don't think the house is any colder, but Freya apparently disagrees.

Drinking Gatorade (it's the only hydration drink we can find that doesn't have the artificial sweeteners that make my partner sick) and am reminded that, at least in North America, there's a widespread understanding of what "blue" tastes like. I blame freezer pops.

Important news from a trusted source

Woot, wrote 4,000 words so I can go paint miniatu... No wait, we have an update from the body that I will instead be sitting and vegging as my brain has checked out and my shoulder would like to speak to the management about how I was sleeping last night

Yes I bought another @skyladawn.ca premade cover but I have a title and a tagline and everything this time. What's that? Have I written the book for it yet? Do I even have time to write the book for it? Those are, frankly, rude questions and I won't be answering them.

Amazing.

LONDON FFS ..damn it, this thing was almost wiped out. IT WAS ALMOST WIPED OUT. (growling) Now all this work is to do again. And it's going to take years. *And thousands of kids will die.* 😡

Get your kids vaccinated now if you haven't already. You can save a child's life

Hey folks! @skyladawn.ca is at the emergency vet clinic with the fourth emergency in four months. This appointment is probably going to cost ~$500 so I'd like us to try to cover as much of it as possible. This is going to be a thread on how to help. 1/?

I am honestly about 90% sure my social media presence doesn't sell books. I'm here primarily to make connections with other authors as best as I can, and I'd need that tiny social bit regardless, so I'd probably still be here.

Happy Valentine's Day to you gals!

I both wish I'd had this before I started writing Shadow of Mars and am entertained by how much I was already using basically this logic when I wrote it. (But then, a lot of things go back to Clausewitz)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but authors do not like this! Lesbian authors especially!

Instead of being a cunt in my replies, please donate to the joint fundraiser that is supporting all of the families affected. www.gofundme.com/f/tumbler-ri...

And since I'm here, there's just a few days left to @tychebooks.bsky.social kickstarter and it's stuck at 99 backers and so I need someone to back it to bring it to an event 100 like the way God intended. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyc...

Following in @pugsteady.com 's footsteps: If you'd like a roleplaying game that's created by a ton of trans and other queer folk (including me, hi) that doesn't funnel money to transphobic oligarchs, might I recommend the Trinity Continuum?

Audiobooks.com is doing sale things again on not one but TWO Nyx titles. Book 3, Guardian of Madness is 50% off through 3/12/26: www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p... Book 5, Guardian of Defiance is 70% off through 3/02/26: www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

We were meeting up for dinner at a restaurant near my house and they were taking transit. I arrived 30min early at the station ,so I texted to say I'd be in the bookstore and they could text me when I got there. They were already in the bookstore. We'd both been afraid to be late!

books2read.com/changelin1 My first French translation comes out next week! La Feaute Du Changelin is the French translation of Changeling's Fealty. Check it out and tell your French friends? XD (I have no idea how to promote in French, lol)

For those who do not gram:

Ooh, it's progressed to just not accepting uploads.

Hugo nominations are now open! I'll talk more about my overall eligibility when I'm not actively working (I am stealing these words from today's task), but I wanted to highlight my Best Series eligibility.

Anyone else finding IngramSpark spinning forever verifying uploaded files today?

Trent was reporting throughout the entire tragedy. If you can support him, please do so via this link. Since it's Patreon, you can sign up for the dollar figure you want to give, then you can cancel the monthly subscription (so that can you donate a set amount right now)

I think I may be confused. Or crazy. I'm trying to put a French paperback in categories on Amazon and literally the only option under "Fantasy" for French books is "Cozy" Uh... I'm not sure that's where my Urban Fantasy action adventure belongs.

The horrors persist, but so must I. And my persistence means making sure people know about my job so I can feed the cats, pay the mortgage, and help support the causes I believe in. With this in mind, the reprint editions of IMAGINARY NUMBERS and CALCULATED RISKS are out today!

Age verification? I used to rush home from elementary school to catch Rescue Rangers on TV.

She's been doing a new comic recently, SIDE QUESTED, with @alepresser.com as her artist, and I had eyed it but never quite committed--I missed the start and catching up felt like a committment.

Always fun when everyone is sharing the same article about something but it's paywalled.

Dear NFL: Please go K-Pop next year. It would be so awesome. And so funny.

Oh. Apparently I just ran out of ISBNs. Sigh. Didn't realize I was that close or I would have requested the new prefix already. I have the e-book ISBN for the second Le Sang du Changelin book, but not the ISBNs for the paperbacks. I guess this is a preorder for a book releasing in April, but ugh.

Well, I just went and bought the historian's book, so chalk up another win for Bad Bunny, who is apparently the bestest bunny.

Suggestions? It's not high on my list but I'm thinking similarly.

I still remember the preteen who come up to my signing in New York and happily chattered at me about both the new book and the ongoing series until their mum gently reminded them there was a line And then, while ushering, whispered thank you to me - because the kid DID NOT talk to strange people.

GOOD. 😀

Gonna go into hype mode here because she’s so hella cool in person, so FYI, she’s got a TON of stuff already done, and her print catalogue is straight out of geek heaven. (What are you waiting for? Make It Sold! 😄) linktr.ee/jennyrjohnso...

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work! I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

I bought little tables for the cat food bowls, as some things I had seen suggested it might help with some of the issues they're having Skadi had food on hers twice. Then, when Jack forgot it last night, stood a bit away from her food bowl and waited for the table to be set up Guess it wins

Spent 20 minutes fighting with Atticus to try and format a book without going to the Mac. Gave up. Had everything neatly lined up in 5 minutes on Vellum. Sigh.

Thiiiiiiis

Do you need good news?

There is a small flock of... Pheasants? Prairie chickens? Odd fat little birds living in my new neighborhood. Today one was having breakfast in my yard. I think it's going to be a good day.

I'm playing Tactics Ogre reborn. Somehow completely unspoiled on the plot and still quite early on... But there's a sudden yet inevitable betrayal coming up, I'm pretty sure.
