Recommended! If you like smart characters fighting bad guys with wit & style while falling in love &/or Regencies, the Haberdashers series is wonderful. #Romancelandia

Hubs says we've seen Renaissance Man (1994) before, but I have no memory of it. I've always liked Danny De Vito (Louie was one of my favorite characters on Taxi), but even I didn't appreciate how good an actor he is, I don't think.

But in the meantime, I have four available from very talented narrators who are real people payhip.com/skyladawncam... And several large-print editions because that's the next best thing I can do for accessibility. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FM8RV44P Because I may be poor but I'm not a fucking scab.

Are you concerned about accessibility? Truly? Is that your justification for using AI voiced audiobooks? Ah then I assume you must also produce large-print versions of your titles, right? 🤔

You can use BookFunnel to grab a free copy of my first book, Trials of Artemis. dl.bookfunnel.com/rlo1cl1q66

This months million dollar idea: food truck called The Book Store Cafe where you can get coffee, inexpensive books, and kitsch like erasers. Yes, the point is coffee and a Scholastic Book Fair flashback.

Have any of y'all read Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power by Victoria Bateman? Trying to decide if I'm going to buy a copy.

Check out BoredWalk, they're pretty cool.

May your retrograde have more Freddie than Mercury.

Watching a recap of Mark Hamill surprising fans and he is so awesome.

I was sad when I realized Millie Bobby Brown wasn't tall enough to play Jack, then I realized she would probably enjoy playing George more anyway. Millie Bobby blonde.

If you had the capacity to draw a large crowd, what world record would you want to set? Think maybe I would go for the largest gathering of women with swords. Feels very on-brand.

Seattle people!! I have another event confirmed. The book launch is in SEATTLE on Sept 1. I would love to see you there in if you're in the PNW. thirdplacebooks.com/event/ann-ag...

Literally what my daytime job has felt like for the past year...

Well, that's fantastic...

July 18 everyone! www.newsweek.com/national-day...

White working class guys who aren’t rapists or abusers and have progressive beliefs are NOT an endangered species. It burns my biscuits that people acted like this was the only possible guy they could pick.

Wake up, babe. New explanation for chronic fatigue just dropped.

AI is trash in every way. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Haberdashers books as Seinfeld episodes! I figure for a Seinfeld episode I can use the weirdly regionally specific term Owlers instead of Smugglers.

I can't figure out who to blame for the planning, writing, and editing for "World War II with Tom Hanks" but I am ready to fight them over the concept of a narrative arc. This gd thing is structured like Jeremy Bearimy. It loops around and repeats itself constantly.

Books and baked goods. No question.

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

I took this post down ages ago for reasons I won’t get into, but Gwen deserves better than that. Gwendolyn Johnson-Acsadi aka Gwynne Forster was an extraordinary woman who happened to also be a beloved romance author. romancehistory.com/2021/03/04/g...

"“This isn’t something we normally test for,” Frank Strong, Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities …Strong noted that the bacterium was first spotted during routine testing for fecal contamination, adding that it’s a bizarre pathogen to find in any wastewater, even that coming from a data center."

Saw a guy today wearing a tee shirt that said “I’m a veteran, not a sucker or a loser.” This one, I think.

buying books and reading books are different hobbies

We had HBO as a kid, so I literally grew up with that movie. There's a reason HBO in the 80's & 90's stood for, "Hey, Beastmaster's On!"

I don't think it should be legal to hide whether an elected official is conscious and or alive.

Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat continues to destroy me in the best ways.

In case you, like Brooke, were unaware of this delightful animal-forward cheesefest, may I introduce you to - THE BEASTMASTER.

Took a photo of this license plate a few days ago while on vacation in Maine, seems apt today.

Still a little puzzled by “I didn’t like that the characters thought in italics.” My friend, that ship sailed so long ago that it was owned by the East India Company.

I need to finish my series about the issues with inherited wealth (circa 1815-1825) so I can start my series about the issues with wealth from aggressive technology (circa 1840-1850).

This kinda reiterates why physical media is so important. Because if all our history books become digital, they can change records of the truth on a whim.

Oh no, I won one of my script bids.

I did a promo for my series using titles like Friends episodes (aka, "The One with-") and now I'm considering doing Seinfeld episodes, but that's just a format of "The ___." Like maybe The Owlers, The Dragon, The Spies. Thinking the graphic would need to make the connection obvious somehow.

Ok, first, they don't understand how important it is to me to organize my algorithms by interest. And second, they don't understand that I have more email addresses than God. Uselessly annoying busywork.

Netflix insists that every profile on my account needs its own email address associated with it? They're really assuming the small amount of content they haven't gotten rid of yet is more compelling than it really is.

I got to show my almost 14 year old what games looked like when I was a kid.

Pretty sad to lose this one, especially since she doesn't seem to do this on the regular (at least it's not on her website).
