Today is my book's birthday! And we have had an absolutely atrocious week so I have nothing planned for today, sadly. But, if you feel like giving When They Arrived a shot, it's available everywhere, including to request at libraries/library apps and Kobo+. Link in bio.

It has been A Week, but Halloween is the big deal in our house. It was a great day, but man, am I tired now.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

hey @mollytanzer.bsky.social do you know if Jirel of Joiry is pronounced with "j" as in Jeep and "Joiry" like joy-ree, or is it more French, where "j" is zh and "Joiry" is like Zhwa-ree (with the rolled, throaty "r" of French)? (I sort of assumed the Frenchier one, but I hear most ppl say the first)

My current MC is named Maree. Its meaning has sea and water connotations in several languages and that's why I picked it, as it's important to the story. Her siblings are also named like that (Rio and Brook). #WritingPrompt

Look at how beautiful it is! And you can pre-order it? Get on that now!

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

I am not going to be normal about this movie.

That's me! I also turn off all AI on my devices.

The smoke from the fires to the north is here. So we're staying inside. The fact that I'm here writing climate fiction while the effects of climate change drift down over us makes me feel some kind of way.

Everybody needs to stop buying anything and everything related to this foul woman. She is a hateful person.

Canadians, many things are terrible and difficult right now, but Monday April 28 is election day and if you have not voted yet, I hope you will go out and vote tomorrow. All the info on how and where is at the official Elections Canada site: www.elections.ca/home.aspx

Just a heads up to everyone, I do not do April Fool's Day. I don't like pranks. This is my least favorite holiday and I will not be partaking.
