There's rain, and then there's atmospheric river in the Pacific Northwest rain.

Autumn in Washington State 😍

Okay, who left the time machine unsupervised again?! Wait... hang on... I hear they're aiming at someone who claimed medieval people never bathed... we'll come back a little later ;) Via the Sundry Folk: www.instagram.com/p/DMxvV-EMdp... sundryfolk.wordpress.com www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

A dear friend had an unfortunate accident resulting in some broken bones. It made me think about the medieval plant "knitbone" that genuinely works (on bruises). Learn more about it here: youtube.com/shorts/XpRlY... #herbalmedicine #medievalfacts

As fall rolls in across the northern hemisphere, people's thoughts turn to books and brews (the tea kind and the ale kind) ☕️🍺

It was such a pleasure to watch the Mariners play against the Rockies last night while enjoying a local IPA. A perfect, early autumn #PNW evening out! Not to brag, but I live in the most beautiful state in the US 💙🌲⛰️☔ #seattle #pnwgirl

Status: sitting in bed in my bathrobe at 1 p.m., chugging coffee and researching the history of autopsies in the 19th c. while waiting for the deep conditioning mask in my hair to do its magic. Who says that authors with ADHD can't get anything done? #multitasking #ADHDauthor #authorsofbluesky

Reminder to my author friends to always check if an unsolicited offer in your email sounds too good to be true. I just got this one a few days ago. Thank goodness for Writer Beware: writerbeware.blog/2023/10/13/v...

Husky eye roll. This is why I can't write my latest WiP on my bed any more 😂 youtube.com/shorts/nrDiP... #huskiesofbluesky #writerproblems

Actual conversation with my friend Katie this evening. 😑 #rage

Watching Dr. Janega walk through Monty Python and the Holy Grail and learning some new things about Arthurian lore. Have you used this for research yet, @cmcevasco.bsky.social? 😝🤣😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZwT...

TOMORROW! Come for books, brews, and lots of laughs. Also, there's a wine festival happening a block away at the same time, so you may want to bring a designated driver 🤣 #pnwevents #historicalfiction #booksky

Guess what? I have an Etsy store! Pick up signed copies of my books, or some cheeky alewives merch for your next book club meeting (or bar crawl). Check it out at www.etsy.com/shop/Elizabe... or just search for "Elizabeth R. Andersen" in the Etsy app. Cheer, wenches! 🍻

Postponed until July 20 - same time, same place! Come join me at Side Hustle Taproom in Kirkland for a pint and a book. Or just come and hang out - I'd love to see you <3 #historicalfiction #pnwauthor #kirklandwa

Been doing a spot of gardening lately... #💮

I had WAY TOO MUCH FUN recording this podcast with @jillianforsberg.bsky.social and @greenleejw.bsky.social a few weeks ago! The Princess Bride through the eyes of two historical fiction authors. And a medieval eel historian, because someone has to explain those shrieking eels!

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this conference is what launched my career. Agents and publishers on site, dedicated networking events, master classes, and workshops. If you're on the fence, hop off and go register. It's worth it. hnsconference.regfox.com/june-2025-hn... #historicalfiction

I can't think of a better way to spend my book pub day than recording a podcast all about history and The Princess Bride with the incomparable @greenleejw.bsky.social and @jillianforsberg.bsky.social! I'll let you all know when this #HATM episode is out in the wild <3

PUBLICATION DAY!!!! Grab a copy of 'The Monstrous M-rders' and see if you can solve the mystery before anyone else! #💙📚 #booksky #cozymystery #cosymystery #historicalfiction #newbook #thealewivesofcolmar buy.bookfunnel.com/26v75zgg3b

This article hits the intersection of medieval history and epidemiology - two of my two great passions. So interesting!

I am stunned and delighted! Sleight of Hand just won the Coffee Pot Book Club gold medal for historical mystery & crime! 🥇💙📚 thecoffeepotbookclub.blogspot.com

I'm thinking about it. Anyone else?

What this means for those of us who use Findaway Voices as an audiobook platform? #writercommunity authors.spotify.com/blog/spotify...

I am so frustrated at how little time I have for non-research reading right now. I'm LOVING Charity Urbanski's book on Medieval monstrosity, but I also want to read a Christmas-themed historical Tudor romance with faeries and my brain and schedule don't have space for both :-( #authorproblems

I had no idea that @medievalists.bsky.social had a shop, and their holiday cards are hilarious! www.redbubble.com/people/medie... #medievalchristmas #medievalhumor #medievalist #shopsmall

@kellyevans.bsky.social - this made me think of your new regency romance satire novella! 😂

This is REALLY exciting news for authors - especially indies! Thanks, @bookfunnel.bsky.social 💙📚 #bookfunnel #indieauthor #authortools blog.bookfunnel.com/2024/truly-u...

Me: Ok, my house is clean and all I need to do before I can sit down to write is move this pot of soup into the fridge. Soup: Think again! (spills all over kitchen floor. creates chicken noodle flood) Me: (Screams into the void) #writercommunity #authorlife

Enjoying this summary of reader sentiment for The Alewives. Witty banter is the seasoning sprinkled on this series! #historicalfiction
