Thank you!!!

I am here to declare my wholehearted, abiding love for the female MC of BOLD MOVES, who is larger than life and bold and messy and wonderful. She's everything I want in a romance lead, and I'm so thrilled that my dear friend brought her to such stunning life. Congratulations on your new book, Emma!

Our queer mystery in the NYT was fun to wake up to!

EVERYONE I KISSED is on sale for the first time at $2.99 in ebook! This sale is good across many ebook vendors (including the new Bookshop ebook platform), so if you haven’t already picked up a copy, what are you waiting for? us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Every single magazine and outlet and bookish news platform that is elevating and lifting up queer books right now? @anniemare.bsky.social & I love you. Thank you. You’re getting these books into the hands of every reader looking for them right now ❤️🧡🩷

This is the book Ruthie and I got out all of our unrequited Hollywood girl kissing feeling out in which is in part why it has murder and evil queerbaiting studio executives. But it’s also one of ours so there are many tender feelings (for example “you can never know how much I love you”).

Honest to god, the legal orgs and attorneys need to sue one of the hospitals in one of these blue states with civil rights protections for not providing trans care to trans youth. The lawyers at these hospitals only understand legal threats. They are complying with Trump because they're scared.

All I do is write queer books and do everything gay and you can know everything at a discount until 2/7!!

Join me in my rage

Each day this week, I'm making a thread spotlighting and signal-boosting creators who are in different marginalized groups being targeted by jerks. Today, it's Trans creators. IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE, please post below with links to your work if you can! Art, music, crafts, whatever! Show us!

So many cool events!

Giveaway on GR for my June sci-fi romance. How does the multiverse work when you find the love of your life? Are there countless ways that lead us to them time after time? What if we never lose the people we love? Told from multiple points in time, with texting, memories, nature, & joyful queer love

Very excited about this Goodreads giveaway!

HR28—the federal ban on trans athletes—is expected to get a vote in congress TODAY. it's the GOP's first step to making it a crime to exist as a trans person in public. that's not an exaggeration—they brag about it on the news. tap into the quote for info & resources. *please* call your reps.

They can’t resist each other either …

In just a little more than two months you guys will meet our TV-Detectives-Turned-Real-Detectives in their first Hollywood mystery. We love Bex and Sam and hope you will too! @ruthieknox.bsky.social #bignamefanbook #mysterybooks #sapphicmystery #queermystery #queermysterynovels

@ruthieknox and I are excited that If I Told You, I’d Have to Kiss You is featured on LJ’s pre-pub alert, and on PW’s preview longlist along with my speculative sapphic romance with Ace, Cosmic Love in the Multiverse Hair Salon! We’re here to keep queer love centered for every moment of 2025 🌈

😎

Getting excited for 2.25.25 with @ruthieknox.bsky.social

Tiny holiday post to get you in the spirit with @ruthieknoxromance and my Christmastime-set romance and how incredible Ruthie’s holiday piano recital was this last weekend ❤️ #maemarvelbooks #maemarvel #everyoneikissedsinceyougotfamous #christmasromance #sapphicbooks

Okay, I guess it's official and we're doing this. RIDING NICK, my ridiculous Christmas short (which takes place before Christmas) is now available on Amazon for 99 cents. Sorry not sorry? 😂 I will add other vendors to this thread as they go live. #Romancelandia

Exciting when a great list includes one of my favorites — A Shore Thing by Joanna Lowell

Last day to bid! There’s lots of great stuff, including query and coaching sessions for writers, books both new and not-yet-released, crafts, and more. All money goes to 1 of 3 charities supporting trans kids, who deserve All the Things!! @anniemare.bsky.social Www.32auctions.com/stkbookauction

Today would be a good day to read and share my essay about trans medicine and trans autonomy, and why trans people are complexly traumatized without them. We deserve for our bodies to belong to us. We deserve lives we can live. I’d love for cis people to read this. medium.com/@mayrpeterso...

For the Support Trans Kids auction, we're offering a signed ARC of BIG NAME FAN, combining romance w/mystery, gay panic, talent, the tyranny of network TV, & the gorgeous fabric fans make from their own hearts & minds to fix what the Powers that Be get wrong. @anniemare.bsky.social

Today I’m in the grip of @shawntelle.bsky.social’s THE FALLEN FRUIT and am dying of it. www.shawntellemadison.com/books/the-fa...

I love Mia Manansala’s books and their queer, clever mysteries so when we got this blurb, it felt really okay to try new stories. Mia invited us to the Midwest Mystery con, amazing. I was shy after her incredible panel, but she immediately helped us find friends. Even when this is hard, it’s good.

Keep bidding! All the fights for trans kids need resources!
