I was in Ithaca, NY for a wedding, and paid a visit to the Barnes & Noble where I finished my first (truly awful) novel in college. To my surprise, they had DON’T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND out on the Pride table! Even got a photo at the very work table where I finished that first novel!

All of the "Good Luck Babe" edits over the Wicked: For Good trailer are really giving me life. And making me want to write my sapphic magic school book.

Happy Pride from Beth, Gwen, Bobby, James, Catherine, and Rosalie! It is such a gift to get to write and share queer love stories and put queer joy out into the world!

No, Microsoft Word, I do not want to use AI in my document. I want your spellcheck to stop flagging correctly spelled words. Being gaslit by a word processor for the few words I DO know how to spell correctly is cruel, so, fix THAT, would you please?

If Max is going to be HBO Max again, I'm petitioning that the CW go back to being the WB. It's only fair.

Some writers want to win awards. I would like to create and sell a TV show that inspires people to make 7+ minute compilation videos of two characters saying each other's names, or every single time those same two characters make eye contact. Or both. The highest honor.

I had such an amazing time at @apollycon.bsky.social 2025! I got to meet so many new readers, connect with author friends new and old, and meet fantastic assistants, staff, booksellers and volunteers. I never take enough pictures, and my voice is toast, but the memories remain and I’m still elated!

So so excited for Apollycon 2025 this week! If you're attending, here's where I'll be:

Finished draft 1 of a thing. It's been a great week.

The jump scare when another author appears in the story I'm writing, but it's only me on another computer that's just synced up. I am a menace.

Fourth book outline delivered. Published books stolen and fed into Meta's ai. Some Thursday, huh?

Feelings on my outline due on Friday are best categorized as "Uuuuuuh, maybe??" So we're right on schedule. ...do I wish my "this is ready to turn in" vibe wasn't always emphatic ambivalence? Sure. Does it work? Uuuuuuh, maybe?

A movie you've watched more than six times.

This week I’m featured on the latest episode of The SSR Podcast talking about what it was like to read FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON as an adult! It was such a fun, interesting, thoughtful conversation! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... (or wherever you get your podcasts!)

Are you going to Love Y'All Romance Book Fest this weekend? I can’t wait to see you there!! Here’s all the places you can find me! So excited to celebrate with everyone!!

Tomorrow!! Come join us to celebrate THE BROPOSAL!! www.therippedbodice.com/events-and-t...

"You're so funny!" Thanks, I'm head over heels for this guy I liked at university, but every time I open my mouth I accidentally insult him, so he hates me, but our cousins keep forcing us together. And, I have to be a viscount and sit in Parliament, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing...

This Friday!! I’m so excited to celebrate @sonorareyes.bsky.social's fantastic THE BROPOSAL at The Ripped Bodice!! If you’re in the SoCal area, come join us at 7pm this Friday 1/31! And if you’re not in SoCal, and you haven’t already, what are you waiting for, go pick up THE BROPOSAL!

So excited to celebrate @edwardunderhill.bsky.social's beautiful THE IN-BETWEEN BOOKSTORE at @skylightbooks.bsky.social! If you're in the SoCal area, come join us Friday 2/7 at 7pm! And if you're not in the SoCal area, you can still order a copy of Edward's wonderful book and give yourself a gift!

In light of Recent Events (i.e. today)… THE IN-BETWEEN BOOKSTORE just came out on Tuesday. It’s 🏳️‍⚧️. I’m 🏳️‍⚧️. It’s literally the book version of “if you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be” but with a magical bookstore. Please read it. Please read a 🏳️‍⚧️ voice. 💙

13.6 thousand people thought I had something worthy to say. Thank you for that. I hope some of you make it here and everywhere else. I guess I’ll go write now…

Happy Book Birthday to @edwardunderhill.bsky.social and his beautiful book THE IN-BETWEEN BOOKSTORE!! www.skylightbooks.com/book/9780063...

Not entirely sure how, but Beth and Gwen have been on shelves for ONE WHOLE YEAR!!

Extremely excited to be an attending author at Steamy Lit Con 2025!!

London Readers! Signed copies of MORE THAN A BEST FRIEND and YOU’RE THE PROBLEM, IT’S YOU at Foyles on Charing Cross!

Making it my resolution for 2025 to learn how to goddamn relax. Having nothing to do should not be more stressful than having ALL THE THINGS to do. Join me. We can be bad at this together.

So incredibly excited that DON'T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND is one of Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Romance Novels of 2024 alongside such fantastic titles!! @ew.com.web.brid.gy ew.com/the-10-best-...

I was SUPREMELY on-brand this year:

All right, so who's writing the 330K+ Shiz Fanfic that gets deep into the academic lore, develops Gelphie or Gelphiyero, and deals with powerful!Elphaba coming into her magic and finding a supportive queer found family? (It cannot be me. It CANNOT BE ME. I HAVE OTHER THINGS I SHOULD BE WRITING...).

My WICKED hot take is that WICKED 2024 only makes an even better case for an Elphaba/Galinda/Fiyero throuple. And it's the best 2.5 hours I've spent in a theater in a good long while. The 13-year-old in me was screaming the whole time. A true delight.
