Vaxed to the max and stocked up on Tylenol while I was at it because I refuse to take any medical advise from a dude with a brain worm.

I’m so excited about this year’s Ashland Mystery Festival! Come get #cozy in Ashland with us.

When you’re a #swiftie and listening to the @newheightsofficial.bsky.social podcast and learn that Taylor loves sourdough, puns, and orange.🥖🃏🧡

Huge numbers from Palo Alto to Sunnyvale. This is just one mile of the seven. #nokings

A seven mile stretch in Silicon Valley. #nokings

Happy Pride, everyone! Here’s to sunshine on the street. 🌈🌈🌈

I hit up so many indie bookstores in Japan! Don’t forget to support your local bookshop today and send them some love for #indiebookstoreday.

Japan is a stunner in so many ways. It makes even more aware of how caustic the US is right now.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

A packed house, standing room only, and overflow for the @rokhanna.bsky.social town hall today. After this stop he’s heading to red districts. We need more democrats to start showing up and doing this.

I’m thrilled to be included in this list and if you need some cozy escapes in the days ahead, check out the other awesome books coming your way soon! www.bookbub.com/blog/new-coz...

As if I needed another reason to be disgusted by Meta. If you’re an author odds are good they’ve stolen your work too. 38 of my books were used to train their AI without my permission along with millions of other titles. Time for a class action lawsuit? #booksky #writersky

Felt cute. Might delete later… My little spring bouquets looked so pretty next to my book stack I couldn’t resist. #booksky

Blocks and blocks of unsold Teslas on the street this morning. It’s working! #economicblackout #boycotttesla

Want a cozy escape this October? Come join me and this incredible group of mystery writers in Ashland, Oregon for a bookish weekend with panels, teas, murder-themed dinners, an interactive mystery to solve around town, and so much more! 🕵️‍♀️ #booksky #writersky

I know I write a coffee-themed Bakeshop Mystery series, but seriously this feels like my coffee pot it trying to tell me something and I’m. It sure I like it. 💀☕️ #booksky #writersky

Date night at bookstore? Yes, please. Also one of us is much more romantic. Here’s a hint—it’s not me. 😂

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Hey, here’s a chance to get a free signed copy!

Exhibit A: How I’m supposed to feel about releasing two books this month.🥳😀😍 Exhibit B: How it actually feels living through extentential dread as America is collapsing exactly as we all predicted. 😡😩😬 Anyone else? #booksky #writersky

One of the best perks of being an author is getting an early look at books soon to hit the shelves. Here are three books that I’ve blurbed and loved. They’re all coming to a bookstore or library near you soon. Add them immediately. Your TBR will thank you, trust me! #booksky #writersky

Carving out my own acts of resistance wherever and however I can. Also, the line to get a Costco membership was huge! #costco #resist

Thanks so much for spreading the book love!

Broke out my heating pad for my back but someone beat me to it. 😻

AI, come for my job! One theme consistently coming up with my writing students is fear over AI. Will there be a market for AI books? Sure. But I firmly believe there will always be space for stories told by humans, breathing blood, sweat, and tears onto the page. What about you? #booksky

What do you call this cake? 🎂 My niece requested I bake a yellow “snack cake” with chocolate frosting for her birthday. We’ve always called this snack cake in our house because cake is the perfect snack, right?

One thing I’ll say about the times we’re living in is that I don’t have to work very hard to create villains. 🦹‍♂️ There’s such a treasure trove of inspiration. I guess we might as well use it. ✍️ #booksky

I have a new Valentine’s mystery releasing featuring a blind date with a book weekend and I just learned that my local bookstore is doing a Valentine party—after hours at the shop with a book scavenger hunt and champagne. Yes, please! 🩷 If you’re in the Bay Area check out Leigh’s Books. #booksky

Shared this a few years ago on another platform that shall not be named. Sadly, still true.

Today, I’m centering on the idea that I can make the biggest impact on things within reach of my fingertips. Donating to Planned Parenthood.💰 Visiting the library. 📚 Texting a friend. 💬 Attending a school board meeting. 🏫 I’m leaning into things within my reach and tuning out the rest. ✨

Is anyone else re-writing Taylor’s lyrics this morning? 🎶 So long #booktok Had a good run A moment of warm sun But you’re not the one So long, #booktok Stiches undone Two graves, one gun I’ll find someone… Oh, hey, #booksky👋

First read of 2025 and it did not disappoint! All the San Francisco vibes with a side of cozy serial killer. 🌉🔪

Working outside in January is something I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around after living in the PNW for so long. But no complaints.

It’s a bad time to be working on recipes for the next Bakeshop Mystery. Although also an opportunity to include more vegan bakes. Flax seed, applesauce, vinegar and baking soda, here I come. Any other suggestions I should try?

True or false? Writing in a book you own is absolutely okay?

This is my official petition to make the week between Christmas and New Years a reading holiday where we cozy up with a new stack of books and do nothing but read for a glorious week. Oh wait, I’m already doing that? Yep! Are you with me? Litmas 🎄📖 Cozylogue Week🛋️📖 The Story Gap 📝📖 Other ideas?💡 📖

“When you have more than you need, build a longer table not a higher fence.” I’ve always loved this quote and it especially resonates this year. Here’s to building longer tables. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🍽 🦃

Thanks so much!

Today is the day! ❄️📕❄️ A HOLIDAY HOMICIDE is on bookshelves everywhere. Annie’s latest bookish adventure features a gingerbread bake-off, all of the holiday vibes, and a touch of homicide. Here’s to a little reading escape! 🥰

Dear algorithm, this is super niche, but please help me find a hair stylist in the Bay Area (South Bay to be specific) who wants to chat about: Books 📚 Taylor Swift 🩵 🎤 Or both. 📚🩵 🎤 Thanks in advance. 🙏

Um, nope. It’s fixed. Forever. ❌

For the past few years I’ve been sharing my favorite rebel reads. It’s time to expand the alliance and the reading list. Who’s in?
