My release day blog for Girl in the Snow is here, including a short excerpt of the story. Also, did you know Aussie authors essentially have two release days? It's Australia and New Zealand first, then the rest of the world. cassandraolearyauthor.com/girl-in-the-... #Romancelandia #skybooks 💙📚

Women saved Star Trek, women put together the first Star Trek con, women put together the zines and wrote the fanfic (and decided Kirk & Spock should be together and that ship was called Kirk/Spock and "slash" is literally a thing because of that slash). I could go on— fanlore.org/wiki/Timelin...

I loved this movie but when I mention it, nobody knows what I'm talking about. It doesn't seem to be available on streaming in Australia either. Fantastic cast and great visual style. #StrangeDays 🎥

I became an author! I enjoyed writing but had no clue about writing an actual book or publishing, until I followed writers on Twitter around 2013. From there, I entered contests, learned so much, then met fantastic people in real life like members of Romance Writers of Australia. #Romancelandia 💙📚

Delighted that Cory is having a moment with "Enshittification," because it's an accurate word for what's happening in tech and he's the right person to describe it. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/b...

I've mentioned my little Etsy shop... I had to remove the US as a delivery option for now. Australia Post cannot ship there as no provision was made by the US for actually collecting the tariffs that must now be paid. AusPost is setting up a workaround to be ready by the end of Sep (hopefully).

Name the first R rated film you saw 📽️ The Omen (on DVD when I was about 15). Most films were cut for a M/MA rating for TV in those days!

Patrick Stewart dancing and singing on the bridge of USS Enterprise-D. Originally filmed in 1991 as a birthday suprise for Gene Roddenberry, it wasn't meant for public viewing but a copy was made and later included as a DVD bonus. #StarTrekDay #Funny #Television #StarTrek #TNG #90s #Scifi

Night Swimming. So atmospheric and reminds me of a certain time in my teenage years.

I don't know what the tariffs are going to do to small businesses with US customers. As an Australian with a little Etsy store, I'm currently blocked from posting with Australia Post to the US. Fed Ex is quoting about $150 to send a small parcel. #booksky

Good. Now I'd love to see some sort of class action that us international authors can join. There's thousands of us too!

Hey #Romancelandia I'm at the Romance Writers of Australia conference in Hobart, Tasmania. Taking it easy so far, riding the big red bus to see the town and visiting the Botanical Gardens. Looking forward to some fab workshops and presentations over the next couple of days. ❤️❤️❤️

Friends, we got a call to action 👇 We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi! This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 ! If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!

Birthday! Photo of me in my element, drinking a cocktail and eating fancy lunch 😋🥂🎂

Don't want this, didn't ask for it, literally just want a simple word processing app. Some of us write for a living and DO NOT want voice activated anything or pervasive stealing-our-content crap! #authors #booksky

When people ask me why I don't like "AI" I can tell them, here in Aussracia we already know how to write! 😂

Okay listen, let's do some basic maths: "PC modelling showed that AI would deliver a $116bn boost to the economy over the next decade." = $11.6bn/year "Research found that cultural and creative activity contributed $63.7 billion to Australia's economy in 2022–23." =$63.7bn/year ⬇️ THIS IS MORE

Is productivity only for big companies? How productive will authors and artists be if the government says it's okay for tech companies to steal our work? Makes me want to quit writing, IDK what to make of this. 😐😐😐 #booksky 💙📚

Just finished 👀 The Nanny's Handbook to Magic and Managing Difficult Dukes by Amy Rose Bennett. Out now in AU, NZ and the UK. Out 30 Sep elsewhere. #booksky #romancelandia A light hearted read with a touch of magic.
