What is this mysterious creature on the decorative plate at the Olive Garden.

Interested in the response to this: Does your employer have the right to tell you to keep your phone in your car during work hours or remain in your bag?

I finished “Confessions of a Justified Sinner” by James Hogg and WOW what an incredible novel. I easily see how it inspired Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And oh how it made me long to walk in Scotland again.

How many languages do you know? And, BTW, Khashoggi's widow is speaking out.

Interview (not viewed.) Hope this isn't too much info.

Me: Authors shouldn’t involve themselves with reviews. The reviewers are for the readers. It’s best to ignore them. Also me: aw this review hurt my feelings :( .

Buy my book so I can fund my cini minis from Burger King obsession. They are quite literally my reason for getting up in the morning. (My job is THAT BAD.) bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

This is what conservative Evangelicals sound like to me.

My religious trauma TBR pile.

I say this without any “we told you so” or insults to her character… What makes anyone look at that ugly crude caricature of a cartoon villain Donald Trump and think that he’s trustworthy? That he cares about anything other than himself? I’ve been asking this since 2015.

Please buy my book so I can quit my horrible job and learn Jensen McRae’s entire discography on guitar. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

The 19th century novel“The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner” by James Hogg is quite an effective warning on the dangers of ChatGPT.

Please check out my friend's book!

Please buy my book so I can read books all day on gray November days with lots of tea and fuzzy blankets. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.

I walk through a very lovely park on my lunch hour that overlooks Powell’s Cove Bay and on the rocks I noticed this prayer journal sitting on the rocks. Curious, I flipped through it. And my heart broke for this person. Could you take a moment to pray for them?

Someone is reading #253 of The Paris Review and I’m undecided if this should count in my Books on the M train series.

A pair of siblings are on the train today, the brother scribbling out a comic strip with very neat lines in his notebook. I was sad his sister was scrolling her phone until I realized she had pulled up an image that her little brother was sketching. This is why I’m against AI.

Please buy my book so I can quit my job and take walks in the snowy woods instead of staring longingly out the window during Teams meetings. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

I will stand by, this remains the funniest mistranslation in manga localization history

I hope I upset as many whiny men as Joyce Carol Oates when I grow up.

Books on the M train: “Oathbringer” by Brandon Sanderson I am reading: “To Shape a Dragon's Breath: The First Book of Nampeshiweisit”by Moniquill Blackgoose

Me at work:

Please buy my book so I can tramp about in the mud in autumn of 2026 and write a Scottish fairytale romance. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

And they wonder why we choose the bear. 🙄

Praise. Jesus.

The time for flowers will come again… we’ll hold each other’s babies and we’ll pour each other’s wine and promise to remember that your fate’s bound up in mine 🕯️

Tell me some lovely poetry or beautiful lines in a book you’re reading that might help me feel that life isn’t so awful.

Please buy my book so I can quit my job and spend my days in Oxford nosing about C.S. Lewis’ old notebooks. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

Please buy my book so I can quit my job and become a mountain witch who plays guitar on her front porch and howls at the moon. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

BUY SOMETHING! Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything. It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe. So I painted the invasive nature of ads in nature.

I’m presently going through some difficult personal challenges, something that I know is going to involve a lot of doubt, despair, and grief. But it coincides with my first novel’s debut. That is an unimaginable joy. I think it’s kin to how mothers feel. bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

Please buy my book so I can run away into the Highlands of Scotland and raise horses, chase ghosts, and write fantasy.

Worth your time.Goodpeople.

I’m in that fun “between unemployment and first paycheck” period and my overdue cellphone bill just wiped me out. If you can spare any grocery money: venmo.com/u/Kat-Coffin

BRING ODED FEHR BACK AS ARDETH BEY!

THINGS I WANT TO SEE IN THE MUMMY 4: Rick and Evy being disgustingly into each other. Massive amounts of PDA. They disgust Jonathan and Alex. None of this “the marriage has gone stale because the thrill of adventure is gone” cliche crap that a bad movie would do.

Please buy my book so I can quit my job and write my fantasy novels and about Joy Davidman and trigger MAGA Evangelical men Twitter.

I am often on the verge of exploding into a glittery storm of rage against cruel stupid men who hate women & how this is one of the simpler facts is why our country is in this mess. Cassandra, Cassandra, we would’ve banned ya, because we’re still not sure women are people.

It’s still spooky season in my heart—pick up Hell’s Heresies at your local bookstore! bookshop.org/p/books/hell...

My Twitter feed is full of self-described Evangelical conservative men demanding the repeal of the 19th Amendment. Let’s be clear. These men do not consider you human. They do not consider you to have basic human rights. They do not believe you are anything but a breeding machine.

This is all I care about right now.

Evangelical conservative nationalists are wailing on Twitter and quoting Revelations, we’re doing great, guys!

Someone somewhere said, “You know what? FUCK the third Mummy movie and FUCK Maria Bello. Get Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz in a room together. We’re doing this RIGHT.” And tonight, I raise my glass to them. 🍻

What are you reading for November? My current reads are: “The Passage” by Justin Cronin “The Foxwife” by Yangsze Choo “The Future Is History” by Masha Gessen “Life’s Work: A Moral Argument for Choice by Dr. Willie Parker “To Shape a Dragon’s Breath” by Moniquill Blackgoose

Absolutely gutted to hear of Colin’s passing. I dearly loved his books and kind and gentle nature. I remember how excited I was when I bumped into him at the Bodleian Special Collections—both of us doing C.S. Lewis research. I can’t wait to see you again at Aslan’s table, Colin. 💔

What did you do for Halloween? I stayed in…talked to a few friends… Order here! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/hells-here...

Am I the only one who doesn't give a flying fuck about Erika Kirk-JD Vance? I don't CARE about her leather hot pants. I don't care how she gently cradles JD Vance's face. I tell you, I don't care. They are bad people regardless of this tawdry gossip.
