This is wonderful!

I’ll never forget the day I got my Library of Congress researcher’s card. It felt like a golden ticket to the kind of joy only a book nerd understands. Do you have a researcher's card to the Library of Congress? What research have you done there? #BookSky #WriterSky

Wonderful idea.

Any form of reading - e-readers, print, audio - is reading. I'm so glad that e-readers and audio are opening new markets for authors!

How does curiosity about a 4,000-year-old priestess turn into a novel? My latest blog post dives into the research behind The Lost Archive. Join me behind the scenes: maryralenekeane.com/book-researc... #BookSky #WriterSky

I've ordered this. I can't wait to read it!

Who says covers don't matter? I just ordered this book because of the glorious painting on the front. I'm sure the stories inside will be just as awesome.

Doesn't everyone do this?

What a legacy this woman left!

At what point does curiosity become research for your book? For me, it was when a priestess from 2300 BCE stopped being just a historical figure and started feeling like someone I wanted to personally know. #BookSky #WriterSky

This is about as niche as I've ever seen.

Is this all it takes to get quoted on NPR?

I used to think a pilgrimage was about movement. Now I know it’s about meaning. Where in your life are you walking with intention right now? #BookSky #WriterSky

Pilgrimage is less about where your feet take you and more about where your heart lands. Where has your heart been leading you lately?

Question for everyone on Bluesky: Would you rather do a pilgrimage alone or with a group?

Before I walked the Camino, I trained my body. But books trained my spirit. Read in my latest blog post the stories that inspired me to walk across Spain. maryralenekeane.com/pilgrimage-b... #BookSky #WriterSky

"Wild" by Cheryl Strayed taught me you don’t need to be perfect to begin. That’s true for writing, walking, or starting over. What’s something you’ve begun before you felt ready? #BookSky #WriterSky

Excellent tip!

Writing Tip: Remember that your characters have lives outside the story. They have a home they sleep in, a job they go to, or family/friends they visit. Write your characters like they have a life outside the story, and that they also exist outside of it. #writing #writingtips #Booksky

In my novel The Lost Archive, warriors defend women’s words with lion lockets and swords. Fictional? Yes. But history shows real voices were silenced. Download my free guide "The Books of the Lost Archive" to imagine what might have survived. maryralenekeane.com #BookSky #WriterSky

I’ve just noticed the #libsky hashtag on here refers to libraries, not liberals, and I’m here for it. Libraries rock (and deserve all the hashtags)! 📚💙 #BookSky

I’ve seen a few people on #BookSky asking for HOLIDAY BOOK recommendations. How about if we start a thread? No judgment about what you pick. It’s not like Die Hard. If you tell us it’s a holiday book in your mind, it’s legit. Helpful if you give title, author, and maybe genre. Self promo is OK. 📚💙 ☃️

Writing a book really IS a deeply personal & creative journey. Not always easy, but it is so worth it!

Few chose the warrior’s path in my novel The Lost Archive, but those who did were revered for defending women’s words against erasure. Who inspires you to stand firm when voices are silenced? #BookSky #WriterSky #WriterCommunity

Love Christmas mysteries!

If you like SciFi, check this out!

Very interesting take!

Every five years, in my novel The Lost Archive, the Archive honors the fallen women warriors who protected women's voices against erasure. Their names are spoken aloud, lockets polished, candles lit. If we held such a ceremony now, whose names would you add? #BookSky #WriterSky #WritingCommunity

Shocking that kids in history class who seemed to be bored out of their minds actually care enough to harass a historian online.

Who knew eels could be so funny?

In my novel The Lost Archive, women warriors fought to protect women's voices not only with swords, but with loyalty, prayer, and sacrifice. What does being a “warrior” to protect women's voices look like in the world today? #BookSky #WriterSky

Powerful essay on what we've lost when we cut funding for cancer research and destroy science.

Who protects women’s writing when it’s at risk of being lost? In my latest blog post, meet the Preservers of The Lost Archive: the fictional librarians who safeguard manuscripts across centuries, and why their work matters today. maryralenekeane.com/womens-writi... #BookSky #WriterSky

I just finished reading it!

Let's stop the handwringing and own this moment.

From Sappho’s missing poems to Agnodice disguising herself as a man to heal women, history is filled with silenced and forgotten voices. My fiction novel, The Lost Archive, asks the question: what if those voices had been saved? #BookSky #WriterSky

Sounds like an interesting read!

Oh! Stars and clouds and winds, ye are all about to mock me; if ye really pity me, crush sensation and memory; let me become as nought; but if not, depart, depart, and leave me in darkness. – Mary Shelley, #Frankenstein #gothic #romanticism #books #booksky
