Time for my weekly writing date. Edits are done! 🎉 And now there’s a blank page in front of me.

My darlings, I'm mostly here to promote books, engage in cheeky nonsense, and share my shop cats. But I come from a family of artists. My dearest auntie makes the most glorious cards. Perfect for the holidays. She's not on here so I can be extravagant in my praise www.etsy.com/shop/WoodHor...

Since I've been running a quirky little steampunk and historical fantasy book club for almost 15 years combined, naturally I have opinions and recommendations about books for new readers Now seems like a perfect time to share. madameaskew.com/2025/08/25/7...

Listen, this book is so charming! I absolutely loved it and I need everyone to read it so we can gossip about it

Bribing myself to do edits with snickerdoodle kisses.

My darlings, this is my occasional reminder that I run a quirky little, virtual book club with my dear chums @b1llz1lla.bsky.social. we do our utmost to celebrate the authors and shatter the idea that steampunk is a sepia toned, European monolith. madameaskew.com/2025/11/22/t...

Little biscuits come to life as wee dragons!! How absolutely delightful!

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me. Yes, stole it. I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME. 🖕

Time for my weekly writing date. Edits, here we come! The goal today is two chapters. Feels ambitious, but I need to make up ground.

This flash fiction short story holds so many memories, from my first invitation to write in an anthology edited by @j_r_blackwell to my first vacation to explore Seattle with Matthew J. Drake to a quirky interaction with two random soldiers who walked into a romance book signing to find PJ Schnyder.

Last week, I had the most incredible time with my dear chums @mbkellyauthor.bsky.social and @tmkutawrites.bsky.social discussing Sapphic book recs. Clearly, I need to have both of them back or start a new podcast so that we can have more unhinged book chats www.youtube.com/live/r-J1t24...
