You ever find the perfect position on the couch and realize that no human has ever been *more* comfortable than you are right now?

Very sad to hear about Garret Anderson. He always seemed like a nice, quiet guy who just did his job well and had one of the sweetest left-handed strokes I’ve ever seen. Much love and peace to his family.

This is the way.

Very much looking forward to our chat! 🥰

Your support has been incredible so far & we truly thank you! We had a great day yesterday - 7 sales of #TheMajorArcana. We’d love to improve on that today - think y’all might help us get to 8 sales today? #booksky #repost Linktree with all the different ways to buy: linktr.ee/chaoscatcrea...

Thank you all for your purchases and reviews for #TheMajorArcana so far! If you haven’t dropped your review/rating onto Amazon yet, it would be a huge help for us if you get a chance to! ❤️ #booksky

We don’t tell easy stories. What fun would that be?

It's #5Star5th ! Make sure to get out there and leave some reviews, especially on indie projects (and definitely on indie books). Leave ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ today! Let's try something different... Tell us about something you've recently reviewed so we can check it out too!

Yup, this is us...figures. Folks, we know the world is on fire & it's scary. We're sorry to ask. But our debut novel, #TheMajorArcana, drops today. We think it's quite good & worthy of your time. Here's a linktree with all the places you can buy it. Thank you all! #booksky linktr.ee/chaoscatcrea...

Today is the day! Five years of pouring our time and effort into making this thing into a proper book, and now you can buy it and read it! @marbach.bsky.social and I would be so very grateful if you did. Our early reviewers enjoyed it, I think you will too!

I know basically everything in the world is bad and dumb right now, but one good thing, @marbach.bsky.social and I are releasing our very first book, The Major Arcana, TOMORROW, April 7! It’s been more than five years in the making and it’s really good, and I hope folks give it a read.

“I thoroughly enjoyed both reads and have no doubt that whatever comes next from Marbach and Meadors will easily evade my dusty shelf of shame treatment.” (Via goodreads) (6/6) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

“The meticulous savagery of each murder is made all the more unsettling by the authenticity of the world they inhabit.” (5/6) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

Each timeline delivers vivid brutality, a satisfyingly methodical detective process, and relentless pacing that kept me turning pages. The characters are sharply drawn—smart, flawed, haunted—and that includes the city of New Orleans itself.” (4/6) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

“The authors waste no time setting the hook, opening with the bloody murder of a notorious serial killer. What follows is essentially two gripping novels in one: a prequel woven seamlessly into its 20-years-later sequel.” (3/6) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

“My nightstand has become an embarrassing tower of half-finished bestsellers—a true shelf of shame. At this point, the only way I finish a book is if it grabs me early and refuses to let go. I finished The Major Arcana… twice.” (2/6) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

Day Seven, finishing with a long one: “I love to read. But these days, between work, fatherhood, and the inability to stay awake past 9pm, even great books tend to stall out halfway through...” (1/6) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

Day Six: “This was a great crime thriller! I enjoyed the way the story bounced between the past and the present, juggling the timelines of both investigations and killing sprees masterfully.“ - blueberrylilac (via Goodreads) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

I don’t mean to be blase about the heinous Easter post from Trump but this is literally all it is. This right here. And that absolute fact alone ought to have been enough to remove him from office today. Just saying, the hand-wringing over nukes and stuff? Not *completely* unfounded, but…it’s this.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Day Five: “If you enjoy a suspenseful book with personable characters, you should read TMA. I've given 5 stars only a few times - ever, but this one came real close to that. Great job.” (via Goodreads) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

Does anyone on #booksky or #authorsky have experience with Kirkus? I’m not looking to air anything publicly, but I have concerns and I’d like to see if others have had similar experiences.

Day Four “As someone who loves books about serial killers…I found this to be an engaging and suspenseful read. The story kept me guessing from start to finish, constantly wondering what was truly happening behind the scenes.” - bookish_inf (via Goodreads) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

I have been saying this since January 6, 2021, and this is inevitably going to have to become the main stream position. You cannot have a government with a party that is trying to overthrow the government

Day Three: “There are some heartbreaking moments and some really tense times throughout this book.(…)The author did a great job in putting this together in a way that I needed to keep turning the pages to discover what was happening.” - Constance (via Goodreads) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

We hope you'll join our newsletter to stay up to date (once a month, promise!) on all things related to Chaos Cat Creative, @rwmeadors.bsky.social, and myself. We can't wait to take this journey with you all! #ChaosCatCreative #booksky #TheMajorArcana #newsletter

Day Two: “I really loved this book!! The writing was great and I would definitely read more from this author! Recommended reading!” - Rachel (via GoodReads) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

If they wrote this into a movie script, every single critic would (rightly) rip the film for having a mustache-twirling villain whose uncanny dialogue torpedoed the bounds of credulity.

Day One: "What an emotional ride. Just be warned that the imagery can be graphic...a story unafraid to comment on some tougher questions of modern society while acknowledging that not every story is cut & dry." - Ian (via GoodReads) #TheMajorArcana #booksky

We are a week away from the first Chaos Cat Creative publication EVER going live! We hope you will pick up your copy of #TheMajorArcana, check the link tree in our bio, and every day leading up to release, we will post more praise for the book here in this thread! #booksky

Huh. Lance McCullers still plays baseball, huh?

Bluesky has the juice

sure, losing to venezuela after all the performative bullshit is embarrassing for team usa, and people will clown on them for focusing more on respecting the troops than playing baseball, and they sucked every bit of joy out of a truly joyful thing, but i honestly forget where i was going with this

Maybe a country that has vision insurance should host the next WBC

Rule gatekeepers handing Americans undeserved positive outcomes, name a more iconic duo

Fucking YIKES, baseball.

I for one hope the DR WBC team curb stomps team USA. Just an absolute mudhole in their asses. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
