Bob and Louise Belcher of Bob's Burger bought one of my books at GalaxyCon St. Louis! Highlight of the week!

I haven't written a blog post in 2 years. The last one was about my mother; this one is about my father. letitiamoffitt.blogspot.com/2025/10/into...

THE MIST AND THE FLAME will appear as an audiobook in 2026, thanks to the Illinois Arts Council!

Just back from the book launch for 'The Mist and The Flame' tonight; a magical retelling of Romeo and Juliet...literally with magic. Start off your autumn reading with Foschia Luminosa and Fiamma Fredda in this delicious story reimagined in the realm of enchantment!. @letitiamoffitt1.bsky.social

Got a Nook? The Mist and the Flame is available as an ebook at Barnes & Noble! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-mist-a...

Oh come on, Wordle.

Romeowl & Whooliet: Shakespeare's tragedy, but they're owls. They're not from rival families, don't fall in love, don't even meet. They hang out separately in trees, hooting ominously and pouncing on scurrying things. They don't die in each other's wings. They live and do cool owl stuff. The end.

Meet Romeowl & Whooliet, mascots for The New Bardiverse. Romeowl: Why? Whooliet: Because we're "bard" owls! Romeowl: OK, so what is The New Bardiverse? Whooliet: Everything Shakespeare-inspired. For example, "It's a love story, baby..." Romeowl: "Just sayyyyyy yes!" NewBardiverse.com

An ad said "Go ad-free" which I read as "goad-free" and I'm like, sign me up, I hate being goaded. Also I think there should be a donut store called "Donut Reply." Because of course there should.

Today's Wordle is a reminder: this is coming soon! #newbardiverse

Who is Coral-Li St. Helen? What is The New Bardiverse? And who or what are the Mist and the Flame? Find out soon...

Birthday boy turned 97 and enjoyed gazing at the view with a friend.

Sometimes you just need a nap with a sloth stuffie.

I feel you, trike.

Gonna be an embarrassing fangirl here, but I very nearly screamed out loud when I saw this, a new novel by one of my all-time favorite authors, @nnedi.bsky.social. Yessssss!

Great turnout at C-U for the rally. Some awesome signs, including "Hoo nees ejukashun?" and "Take an econ class before taking office!" with drawings of penguins. (Yep, this is a college town.)

If you can make it to one of the April 5 protests, you should definitely go. If you can't, no worries -- I got you covered. I used to be a high school teacher and a cross-country coach; I can YELL. :)

It's April 1st, isn't it. Yeah, I got nothin', not this year. Here's my dog again.

Proud of my community. Pretty good turnout for a Trans Day of Visibility rally on a cold Monday. Glad I could support family and friends. Parker says, "Sunshine, yes. Oligarchy, no."

"A thousand stimulating scents, the sun's warmth on his fur ... a caressing human hand and a beloved, wonderful human voice." - Marlen Haushofer, The Wall This book, by the way, is amazing -- published in 1962 but better than many post-apocalyptic novels I've read recently. #books

Great turnout today despite the rain for the Rally for Democracy in Champaign-Urbana. This is just the beginning.

Pretty sure "Personal Jesus" is meant to be ironic. Also that particular cover is one of the strangest ever. Carry on.

I know, sad gorilla-face peak. I know.

I keep seeing posts that say he just mandated this or he just reversed that. Despite what people seem to think, the POTUS is NOT the most powerful person in the world but part of a system. Though he would dearly like it to be so, he can't just decree something on a whim and have it be done.

I finished Mariana Enriquez's short story collection, A Sunny Place for Shady People, and all I can say is if you're a woman over 40, you *must* read her story "Metamorphosis." It'll make you laugh, creep you out, but most of all get a heart-felt "HELL YEAH" from you. Read the whole thing, really.
