I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

THE SUN BLESSED PRINCE by @lindseybyrd.bsky.social - m/m - one two princes kneel before you - that's what I said now - one can revive dead with a touch - the other can kill with just as much - deadly plots and tense conflicts - just go ahead now

Guest post up at The Nerd Daily today! I wrote about the importance of telling ordinary women's stories in historical fiction - not just extraordinary ones. thenerddaily.com/amy-s-kaufma...

The Sun Blessed Prince is apparently one of De Slegte's top 20 bestsellers at the moment! Very happy to be lucky number 19! #FantasyBooks #TheSunBlessedPrince 🧡☀️🧡☀️🧡☀️ www.deslegte.com/top-20-Engel...

Thank you so much! This is so incredibly kind of you, and I'm delighted you loved it that much!

I'm a huge fan of trigger warnings. If you don't want to read them - then don't! If you fear they will spoil the story - then don't read that page. They're not for you. But if someone does need them, I would much rather have the warning there than have someone ever be hurt while reading my book.

Things things in my inbox THINGS :D

This is so cool!!

Zaira's art is absolutely INCREDIBLE and I was so grateful to have her do them. Thank you so much for bringing my characters to life!!
