It's out today! The first book in Rayn's Story, *The Diamond in the Rough*, is live on kindle, KU, and paperback! www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3MMB9F1

Fuck all of you saying "this is inevitable" or "it's here deal with it" or even "it's fine"/"it's not a big deal". Be antihuman on your own time. This is a moveable needle. It's ruining lives (mine included already), ruining the environment, ruining art and creativity, isn't needed and isn't wanted.

Coming out on FRIDAY! Available on Kindle, KU, and paperback. Preorder now to get it the second it releases! www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3MMB9F1/

Coming out this week... Releases December 19th on kindle, KU, and paperback. Preorder today! www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3MMB9F1/

A little birdie tells me that audible is having a Cyber Monday sale that might include Beyond the Veil books... www.audible.com/series/Beyon...

LIBRARIES MAKE BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, she shouts, apparently inaudibly WHY DO THESE "YOU'RE A CLASS TRAITOR" PEOPLE KEEP PRETENDING LIBRARIES DON'T EXIST? ARE THEY CLASS TRAITORS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LIBRARIES?

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit. It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

*Always* tell authors when you like their stuff. It's an emotional high that we'll ride for days. Brought to you by someone who liked my book

Do not steal books, I beg. Borrow from a library. Libraries lend e-books!

"Death of the artist" means when Amy Tan says "I did not intentionally put numerological symbolism in Joy Luck Club" you can go "ok but unconscious-you is very clever and it's in there anyhow." It does not mean "it doesn't matter if JKR is a terrible person."

What if, and i know this is wild, we ✨️tax billionaires out of existence✨️ instead

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!

Woop! I have been "selected to participate in Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)'s Kindle Translate beta" which is Amazon's new AI-powered translation service, and apparently they'd "love to hear" what I think about this! Well, they're going to hear it. Whether they will love it...

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix. Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Pay editors. Pay artists. Learn how to self edit if you can’t afford an editor. Use a photo editor (without ai) and make a stock photo look nice!! AI is lazy and *most* people will appreciate the effort you’ve put into your book and cover!!

Again, in America we do not have enough fascists to fascism. We do have enough nice white people who would like those people gone as long as they don't know them. We do have enough nice white people who will abandon *anyone* rather than risk any bit of what they have. This understanding is vital.

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Happy Halloween! (And almost Dia de Muertos...) Need a spooky read? Ward's story covers both, and then some. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTV2GVZL

Shout out to the top 5 kings in the world, Martin Luther, Larry, Don, Stephen and Americans don't have a motherfuckin'.

I made this meme for all of you. You know what to do.

I love this interview. Read Michael Twitty's books, they are so good!

Lmao, got added to a BlueSky list of accounts who hate AI. YEAH I DO. Take your planet-killing, author-robbing tech and shove it up your ass.

Starting TODAY (Oct. 13) and lasting through November 3rd, the first annual Lore & Tale Halloween Witch Book Hunt!!!! (Featuring, among other works, *The Ghost in the Hall*). Check out the list for fun, spicy, and spooky Halloween reads! subscribepage.io/witchbookhunt

I loved the heck out of this series, and this is a fantastic deal. This is the first trilogy of an ongoing series of trilogies, with a different couple the focus of each trilogy. Also, these definitely aren't horror books, they're m/m paranormal mysteries/romances with fabulous queer rep throughout.

Just in time for Halloween (and available for preorder now), *Ward's Story* contains Ward's three novels (*The Ghost in the Hall*, *The Boy in the Locked Room*, and *The Skeleton Under the Stairs*) and a bonus short story at the end. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTV2GVZL

Now through November 2nd (just in time to celebrate the original release date of *The Ghost in the Hall*), you can get the audiobook of *The Boy in the Locked Room* for half off here: www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

One, that's not how copyright works and there will be an entire battalion of IP lawyers who will be happy to correct Open AI of this misapprehension, likely to the tune of billions of dollars, and two, fuck this shitty thieving waste of proteins and lipids

Especially when some of the moderation will be automated and they already have a history of racism and transphobia

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

We've been hearing from so many of you this year, asking us the question we're asking each other and anyone else who will listen--some version of "OMG WHAT DO WE DO?!"

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

Yeah no this is a bad idea. Keeping silent will just make them think "ho they say nothing so it's alright then, we can apply that!" Talking, messaging the moderators and generally being very LOUD about it is better. Also keep listening and supporting NSFW creators as they are the ones impacted now.

Now I'm getting conflicting reports about whether the Rapture will be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and, look, I know that TECHNICALLY no man knows the hour of His coming and all, but if we could actually pin this down on the schedule it'll help me plan the rest of my week, thanks

The new hotness is review spammers using "AI" to synopsize one's new novel to make it look they read your book and can offer you a useful service

the ai sludge that buckaroo authors are now endlessly sent by robots summarizing their books and then offering 'promotional services' is very annoying, but i did have a good laugh that the made up name some dang computer came up with to sound like a real editor was HARPER COLLINSWORTH

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now. But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library! It's easy! Check your library's website.

In the end, don't we all want the same thing? To be with someone who makes us feel safe and loved? Someone who bakes great bread in a crumbling seaside castle filled with indifferent cats, inquisitive ghosts, and secret libraries hidden inside libraries?

Take it from some who teaches about drone strikes, “I shed no tear for that guy” and “this is bad, it shouldn’t have happened” can be normal reactions to have simultaneously. Opposition to political violence isn’t about personal sympathy for an individual target per se, it’s about society.

I will add to this: is the violence being done by ICE and the troops sent into Democratic cities not political? Is the violence of immigration detention and deportation not political violence? If this was your Rubicon, it's not political violence you detest, it's a white man being shot on TV.

Maybe you should have paid a writer to craft you a better narrative. LOL
