My sympathies to everyone releasing a book today. Gonna repost some because there are a lot of things I've genuinely been looking forward to, and reading one of these will be a good sanity-saving way to pass the time.

Today, I'm celebrating the launch of Flightless! 🪽 My fantasy heist novel is for folks who want a better future but don't see the path forward. Revolution is ours, friends.

Independence Lake north of Truckee, #California was on private timber company land, which put it up for sale. Larry Ellison wanted to buy it as a private lake for his billionarity, but the company instead sold it to the Tahoe Donner Land Trust. Now it has trails and free kayak use for the public!

I got my author copies of Flightless from @tangentgeoff.bsky.social of @apbooks.bsky.social! There's still time to preorder this social justice fantasy heist. Readers of Six of Crows and fans of Ocean's Eleven will have a blast, and anyone with a heart for equity will be ready to join the resistance

Today Americans will gather around the table & ask, "What are you thankful for?" The majority will say, "Family & friends." Regardless of skin color, language, beliefs, opinions - under it all, we wish the same thing: to love and be loved. I pray we allow our fellow humans this one simple wish 🙏❤️

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social #BookSky #KidLit #BookPromo
