Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in The Doors movie was way hotter than Jim Morrison ever was

My hometown library has lost its funding due to Moms of Liberty. I would never in a million years ask any of you to donate when we are all strapped trying to survive on our own. But this library is important to me. Fairhope is a “small town” and to lose the library would be devastating. #fundlibrary

Guess I'm revenge voting for MBFGW tomorrow. #RomComBracket

Our landlord is ending our lease 3/8. Know of any big kitchens that may work for a friendly+clean food bank on Sundays? Any ideas welcome: community centers, commercial kitchens in offices, churches, schools, restaurants closed on Sundays. Let us know! We have people who depend on us for food.

My fave stepback embroidered 😍

Here is how I did the hair! It is turkey stitch plus curling the thread. Curl it in the same manner in which you curl ribbon 🎀 Do we hashtag here? #booksky #embroidery

@tropeopera.bsky.social created this stunning embroidered interpretation of THE LEGEND OF LYON REDMOND, one of my favorite covers. Love the woolly clouds and puffy sleeves! So admire her skill. Thank you for sharing your aristry, Shelley! #romancelandia 💙📚 #pennyroyalgreen

Julie Ann Long. That's it. That's the tweet.

My favorite historical romance trope is the forced into marriage, "I would never be so dull as to fall for my wife," rake who gets absolutely BODIED by his feelings for her. #Romancelandia

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Authors/publishers, go check a website called Oceanofpdf for your books. They have 9 of mine that they are giving away for free and I've seen many belonging to people I know. Their email address is on the website. They also have the gall to ask for donations... @britfantasysoc.bsky.social

Happy Release Day to me!! OFF THE GRID ebook is now live, and it's wide! You can find a copy of my book on for free on Kobo Plus or by using your library e-services. It's also available for purchase on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and more!
