The morning’s bright the sky is blue and we have a teaser trailer! WAKE UP DEAD MAN the new Benoit Blanc mystery, in theaters Thanksgiving and on Netflix 12/12

We've been slapped with some big bills recently & are hoping our awesome readers (you!) can help us out by buying a book or two. Maybe you deserve a treat for yourself? Maybe you have a friend who needs a spooky pick-me-up? It's spooky season! Shares appreciated 🖤 www.hauntpublishing.com/books

I'm so far behind, but I finished this book months ago, & needed a minute to absorb. Darkness by @robertaellis.bsky.social isn't a typical #mmromance. It won't follow the "boy-meets-boy & falls in love" setup. Cont'd 🧵👇

This person 👉 @robertaellis.bsky.social 👈 is 1 of 2 writers that got me publishing. She captivated me w/ her stories. She writes like words are magic (bc they are). When she submitted for publication & was accepted, I realized we had a market for 🌈 stories. Then I subbed & got a contract. 1/2

It's been a minute since I've posted. In that time: 🇬🇧 We took the kids to England ⧓🐈‍⬛ My tuxie cat broke his paw (surgery in 2 days) 😢 🧡🐈 We adopted a ginger tabby who's woken this house up & showed us we didn't even know what personality WAS before her arrival. In Book News:

Happy Book Birthday!! @lc-chase.bsky.social is 1 of my auto buys & has been for 10+ yrs. If you've not read her bks, you won't be disappointed, I promise. As part of a 4 book co-authored series, there's a LOT to love here! Check out this new small-town shared world series (& you can buy direct)!

You know what sold me on backing this Kickstarter (besides it having affordable tiers)? “Have you wished Interview with the Vampire had a happy ending or that The Vampire Diaries was more gay?” Take my money! Add in a post apocalyptic setting? Hell yessss! www.kickstarter.com/projects/evo...

Protect your peace, however that looks for you.

Raise a hand if you've needed more 🌈📚 #QueerBooks now than ever before? 🙋🏻 To me, it feels necessary & affirming. Which is why I've also been backing Kickstarters. Finding new #GayRomanceBooks to lift. #MMRomance This 1 is close to ending w/ only 36% funded. Hoping it gets there. kck.st/4cwoHhl

There aren’t too many MM romance Kickstarters at the moment, but here’s one looking for funding for audio backing. I’m alllll in ofc since it’s Halloween. Sign me up! Not much time left to get funded. kck.st/4cwoHhl

#HandsOff in UTAH OMG.

#handsoff My niece in Boston.

The #HandsOff hashtag is giving me life rn.

Is your book on the LibGen list? Let us know.

My head’s about to explode. There’s too much. It’s too much.

Don’t think for a second this doesn’t set up a very dangerous opportunity for predators to be checking students’ “qualifications to enter bathrooms” now by inspecting the contents of their pants. Who’s the real pervert here? Who’s in real danger now? Mm-hmm.

I’m still adding ppl to the MM Romance BookSky feed even though I had to stop making new starter packs. I’m hopeful that feed grows and grows to the best convos about 🌈 📚 & experiences. I called it mm but the whole rainbow is welcome. 🧵 for more #booksky #queerbooksky #mmbooksky packs.

Holy shit, I can't even figure out how to react to this, other than sheer wonder.

Anyone considering signing up with Boundless ought to read this carefully, note that the same people are in charge, and remember that past behaviour predicts future performance.

With the #transrightsreadathon coming up, it is important we remember how we can make this a safer space for trans authors to avoid forced outings! ❤️ A thread 🧵⬇️🏳️‍⚧️

#WritersCoffeeClub March 7: What’s the first thing you do when you sit down with a new project? Panic, then run myself ragged coming up with an idea that isn't totally stupid. Then, I chew my nails down to the quick and panic some more. That's just for the first sentence. #writing #booksky

Literally just yelled at the TV: Buck adopting this dog and naming it Buddie better not be some sort of monkey paw wish granting for giving us #Buddie this season! There is no trust. (He didn’t name the dog that, whew!)

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

I’m blocking people who are jerks to Canadians who are angry that their country is under threat.

I'm full of incredible rage today so I need to get offline, but if you want to support a queer Canadian author so I can keep buying groceries while we're in a fucking trade war, I have books on sale! And they don't profit a US megacorp!

I was 35 for my first full-length novel, but pubbed my first 2 novellas at 34. 13 yrs later, 15+ books & counting.

even if you don't give a shit about porn you should be doing your part to stop this. this is a direct attack on freedom of speech and the rights of LGBTQ+ people. queer peoples' existence is not pornography and neither is pornography evil. if you think this won't affect you, think again.

Congrats to @ghostalservice.bsky.social and everyone who worked on the OFMD Craft Fair! Y'all raised $85k for trans kids and that is fuckin' AMAZING!!!

This is glorious! Not just the art but the cause. And a bidding war over this quilt does not surprise me in the least!

THE SNIPERS ARE OUT! You have 47 minutes to stab your friends in the back and steal glorious crafts in the name of raising money for trans kids!!! www.32auctions.com/ofmdcraftfair

I love the shout of, “We’re gonna vote you out!” trailing his fleeing ass out the room. When Reds stop holding town halls, we need to ask ppl in these Red districts why their leaders have abandoned them. Flood those zones w/ progressive candidates to vote in who will STOP THIS CRISIS. #Vote2026

Never had a 🧵 hit so true to me as this one. I wish I was a hope dragon, but since I don’t know how to be, I’m just glad SOMEONE is. ❤️🐉

Fascinating!

“Bloody Immigrants!” By F. E. Feeley Jr #poetry #trump #sorrynotsorry

This whole speech is worth watching. So glad he’s is my Gov. He’s a billionaire, yes, but he’s taken his wealth & privilege & uses it to help ppl, create systems to better the future, & protect IL from harmful politics. That’s what ppl w/ that kind of $$ should be doing. Not raiding the treasury.

The video is the immediate reply to the one reposted. Watch Chris Kluwe saying what needs to be said over and over. Keep saying it. They’re Nazis.
