So excited to finally announce this!

I have news! My debut novel is coming soon!

Would you like a nice relaxing audiobook about meeting the family? (and investigating murders!) In the tradition of the Vera Wong books, except with a murder/diplomacy m/m couple trying to solve things without adding *more* dead bodies to the tally. www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

Gabe is 38% towards his goal. Can you help him get to the NHD national competition?

Love doing these. I didn’t count states I’ve only driven through (or only been inside their airport) except Wyoming because I drove through it for an entire day and it felt like I was hallucinating so much emptiness. www.fla-shop.com/visited-stat...

1/I had one original short story published this year! 😊 It's a historical fantasy that takes place on Martha's Vineyard and, of course, is full of longing and bodily transformation. I'd love it if you gave it a read this winter. And Also please do check out the work of @carolscheina.bsky.social

This is a wonderful collection of PBs that are NOT being talked about for the Caldecott, because they don't qualify. But there are several I want to run to my library and find today.

@bradytwest.bsky.social et al find evidence that suboptimal survey measurement of sexual identity may have the largest negative effects on estimated health disparities in states with fewer protective policies. #Demography #umichresearch www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Any of these.

Looking at all of these 2024 favorite reads like, I’m sure that would be my favorite too if I actually managed to read more than a couple books this year. 🤦🏽‍♀️

My thought for this Tuesday ☕️☕️☕️

Two stages of writing: 1) This shouldn't take too long 2) Oh no

I guess it’s time I introduce myself! I’ve been a filmmaker, media psych researcher (representation matters!) and currently a spec fic writer (see pinned post) and investigative genetic genealogist. Here’s a BBC podcast ep I did about identifying my mom’s bio father. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
