Neighborhood Nights #oilpainting #art

Christmas Day is almost over here (and after a difficult year for almost everyone, I think, today has been lovely), but it's just beginning in a lot of places, so Merry Christmas to everyone if you celebrate, and I hope you have the best day whatever you're doing. 🎄❤️

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I see it's the seasonal argument about why piracy to fuck over Amazon and publishers is okay while many authors live below the poverty line.

Anyone: How are you? Me, waking up every day in 2025:

I don't know if anyone else is also getting an increased amount of AI emails at the moment, claiming to be from readers and other writers (and I'm pretty sure they're using the names of real authors, whom I'm also fairly sure do not actually want to connect with me to create a "network of love").

Just a little bit tired on the way home from daycare.

A favour to ask from somebody in the US—could somebody possibly check and see if Act Like It and Pretty Face are currently on sale for $1.99 and $2.99 respectively; I can't see the US prices. Thanks so much. :)

Now that's an orange king I would support! #orangecat #cat #gingercat #nokings

❤️ For today only, my first book ARTISTIC LICENSE (written under the pen name Elle Pierson) is on sale for 99c in the US. www.amazon.com/Artistic-Lic...

Last night I was doomscrolling reddit and this post was like… an unexpected poem and also now I want to whisper little love spells over everything I make. For my own good as well as for others.

In honour of a belated Valentine's Day, here are some of the very loving Valentine texts between Lainie and Richard (who would have a lot of things to say about the nightmarishly bad state the world is in) from Act Like It, written for Elena's Book Blog years ago. elenasbookblog.com/love-words-r...

"They literally got me to say 'dildos' ten times, and they were like '...hmm, okay, do it a different way', and only after a while did I have the sense to look up and see them giggling, and I was like, 'Oh, you f**#..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi5r...

Could somebody in the States please do me a favour and tell me if Battle Royal is showing up for you as being on sale for $1.99? I was tagged in a sale alert but I can't see the US price to double-check. www.amazon.com/Battle-Royal...

When very real chemistry sparks during their scripted love scenes, she begins to think the industry’s heartless Bad Guy might just have a pulse after all. Out today, the Audible Original, MISDIRECTED by Lucy Parker! Amazon: www.amazon.com/Audible-Misd... Audible: www.audible.com/ac/Misdirect...

I mean, I know Dominic was a bit frosty at times, but I feel like calling Battle Royal, a romance about pastry chefs, a "vampire romance" is a *little* harsh on him, Amazon.

✨ MISDIRECTED is out today, available now on Audible. Narrated by the fantastic Nicola Coughlan and Gwilym Lee. Thank you so much if you pick it up! 💕❤️

Merry Christmas Eve! 🎄 Here is my dog’s Christmas school photo from doggy daycare.

Battle Royal by @lucyparkerauthor.bsky.social #RomanceCoversAs Angela Lansbury #Romancelandia 21/32

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Is there a way to block people without having to actually click through to their profile? Because I can’t be bothered even engaging that much, and they inevitably have some sort of arsehole post right at the top of their timeline. Hoping I’m missing the obvious, or that feature will be added soon.

This is AMAZING and just ludicrously creative!

😬 Please tell me there’s a way to turn off this incredibly annoying AI Copilot thing that’s appeared on Word on my Mac today. I’ve followed the instructions about turning off all “connected experiences” in Privacy, but after a restart, the Copilot icon is still appearing with every new line.

For anyone who's in need of comfort and escape this weekend, my frothy feminist romantasy novella Snowspelled is on sale for just 99c/99p until November 12th along with a whole bunch of other romantasies starring fierce women: books.bookfunnel.com/FightthePatr... #romancelandia

Having been briefly on Formerly Known As Twitter this week for a book update, after avoiding it all year because it was already so toxic, it still managed to make me just about speechless how much worse it’s become. Anyway, hugs and thank you to @oliviawrites.bsky.social for telling me about bsky ❤️

If you're a writer, then you're a writer. No need for "aspiring" or "hopeful" or similar qualifiers. Oh, and welcome to Bluesky to all of the new writers here. 🙂 #writingcommunity
