These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

I read Kick at the Darkness by Suleikha Snyder. It's a zombie apocalypse novella, yet so emotionally intense, and the central couple has such history and a complex romantic journey, and the HEA is so fulfilling despite the bleak world... HOW?! I love reading skillful romance. This genre is hard.

Nia Òla said on tiktok: "Covid is our time's lead paint," and I can't get this out of my head. Generations after us (if we can ever get this bus back on the road) are going to be so confused by our behavior.

READ ME SLOW is a high-heat/low-angst novel about a romance author and the horror podcaster she accidentally hires to narrate her book. She’s 45 and so stressed 😭 He’s 30 and her little brother’s best friend 🫣 📆Out October 28! AMZ: shorturl.at/piegI B&N: shorturl.at/aThXr

With news of a reported settlement with Anthropic I went back to check the class action form and it now allows authors outside the US to input their address, so it may be worth adding your known pirated titles (from the LibGen pirate database) www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

He's absolutely right. Because the Illinois mentions in this book are ABUNDANT. From my own experience, hanging out in Carlinville and Herrin kept me vigilant 😰

Its fascinating to watch Javen go from feeling like he "won a prize" to acting like he couldn't care less about this woman. It's almost cruel to witness Katisha be treated like an object to be discarded. "Huh, you were upset last night?" he says with a cheeky grin. #loveisblinduk

Being transplants in that part of Arkansas? They really ought to be worried about other White people, lol!

If you have time, go to Disney+ and watch Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time for a refresher on how tragic natural/man-made disasters are. 2005 was 20 years ago, but it's a blueprint for what could happen again. Soon. Racism, climate crisis, failed policy, "Shock Doctrine"...this will happen again

For the evening crowd: I had a cover release for READ ME SLOW! Thank you to everyone who took the time to shared this news. I really appreciate your support 💜🖤 Preorder: B&N: shorturl.at/geZ2S AMZ: shorturl.at/5ZV0G KOBO: shorturl.at/dctnn

COVER REVEAL 🖤 What happens when a horror podcaster reads your steamiest book scenes aloud… and then wants to bring them to life? Maya’s narrator bailed. Her brother’s best friend stepped in. Read Me Slow is a voice-kink, May/December romance that brings the heat—on and off the page. OCTOBER 28

The random idea 🤝🏾 The book READ ME SLOW October 28, 2025 Preorder: shorturl.at/5ZV0G

READ ME SLOW (Oct 28) shorturl.at/5ZV0G She’s an indie romance author on deadline. He’s her new narrator… and her little brother’s best friend. Their 1st recording session? Electric. His voice? Filthy. When she uses his mic? He's finished. 🎧 May/December 🎙️ Voice kink 💥 Forced proximity

You know what would make me really happy? A Christopher Guest mockumentary about the acquisition, set up, and opening of a Spirit Halloween store.

The human body is so weird and bizarre to me... Two months ago, I suffered a violent fingernail ablation. Cuticle too 😭😭 I've been cleaning and dressing it every single day since, and sure enough—the smallest sliver of nail is coming back?? As far as I'm concerned, It's a goddamn miracle! 🙌🏾

Okay, but where *IS* Jill Stein these days?? 🤣

Shit, we are only 7 months into this administration. Goddamn.

Two heartbreaking documentaries about the technology/A.I. and men losing touch with reality around them: - *smiles and kisses you* - My Husband the Cyborg After watching them, I'm deeply bummed out, lol!

Was watching THE RETURN, a film about Odysseus returning to Ithaca from the Trojan wars. While Penelope is waiting and weaving her shroud, I wondered if the etymological origins of "looming" had anything to do with her... It doesn't. But this is what it's like to watch movies with ADHD 😭

10th birthday 25th birthday 41st birthday I feel blessed to wake up and keep trucking! ❤️

Oof! The actual immigrants in the room who were trying to belong to their far-right cohort. It reminded me of what classmates said about Clarence Thomas: The conservative line is always shorter for Black folks. They will welcome you, praise you, tokenize you, until they throw you away.

COMMENTARY: While other countries celebrate their national identity with military parades, Estonia does it with song and dance. It's a perfect reminder that countries can be strong and resolute, while posing no threat.

Cis men can just walk into a strip mall clinic and get testosterone, but menopausal women still have to practically beg for HRT. And trans people have to be afraid they’ll end up on some kind of list for getting the same hormones. Makes sense.

The fact that I keep getting emails trying to promise me that they are making their "voice replica narration" terms better & better for narrators tells me that the pressure & the anger are having an impact. Keep going, guys. Begging fellow authors to HOLD THIS LINE for our narrators.

The Land Before Time in first grade. Of course, it ended with a bunch of sobbing 6 year olds 😫

You can't build an empire bragging that "London's streets are paved with gold," and not expect that empire to want to visit, lol.

In the "Las Vegas" ep of Someone Feed Phil, he met up with the hotel and restaurant union for ice cream. I was struck by how many were 30 years into their careers at Caesars or Bellagio, cleaning or cooking. Fair work conditions and wages is how you do that! People should have that security!

These quotes...🤣🤣🤣

Do you associate Robert Mitchum and Aaron Copeland with beef? If so, how old are you?

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

US runs abour 240 military commissaries & over 200 VA canteens (PatriotStores), totaling around 440 Fed operated grocery & retail food outlets, just in US. They serve troops, veterans, and their families at bases & VA. 11 to 13 million US citizens are served annually. NY population is 8.5 million.

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD. They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base. No one has ever had a problem with their existence

Croatia is the ticket. I don't think I would have ever put it on my travel list, but Mr. had a conference in Zagreb, which took us to Rijeka. Would definitely come back. The people are warm and friendly, the food is lovely, and the Adriatic was so nice... I'm a fan!

There's nothing better than drinking whiskey with my babe during the annual viewing of JAWS and JAWS 2, on a hot summer night 🌊🦈🌊 "Here's to swimming with bow-legged women!"

Just started the arc for this one on the plane and oh, this is gonna hurt but hurt SO GOOD. (Also, if you haven’t read Regina Black’s debut, The Art of Scandal, what are you waiting for??)

JEWEL ME TWICE is 1.99 for a limited time! Secrets and second chances spark in this high-heat, high-stakes romance where the jewels aren’t the only things getting stolen. 👠 suave thieves 🔥 unresolved sexual tension 🖤 heists with heart 📚 and heroines who always come out on top...

It's "Coco's World" and we're just living in it ❤️❤️🏆🏆

My personal reading lately. Just finished reading Heated Rivalry by @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social. Just started reading (Trust) Falling Into You by @charishreidauthor.bsky.social. Great books. Enjoyed/enjoying both a lot. 📚💕 #BookSky #RomanceBookSky #Romancelandia

I had no idea this was happening for a long time--my editors at Berkley were lobbying behind the scenes, because they're amazing--but JUST LOOK AT THIS. My cover for ZOMROMCOM actually GLOWS IN THE FREAKING DARK! 💚

I saw that *documentary on HBO, #Mountainhead, and oof! It was hilariously terrifying, and exactly what I assumed billionaires get up to. *😭

Sweden is banning recreational laughing gas (nitrous oxide), but even more interesting? The Swedish word for laughing gas is lustgas!
