A thread of all my available books.

Of course, the REAL reason I forgot to take a photo of my first attempt at making nectarine cobbler was probably just because it looked/smelled too good, and I just wanted to EAT it. 😂 Here's the recipe I used, for those interested: bakeitwithlove.com/nectarine-co... Super easy! #BakingSky

If you like cozy, witchy Romance stories set in small Georgia mountain towns that include talking cockatoos, I've got the perfect Goodreads giveaway for you: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

It would be sort of hellishly humorous if the rapture happened tomorrow but took all the truly good people, leaving those who are so sure they're the chosen ones that they're willing to do evil because of it.

Celebrities including Pedro Pascal and Selena Gomez wrote: "Our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives and entertainers."

Trying to walk my mother through useful apps for Korea like Naver Maps and Papago. It's not going well.

So much this!! Polaris Rising was absolutely panned by a major industry review site and it remains the book I’ve sold the most of. Yes, it’s been out the longest, but it’s not even close, lol. A bad review hurts to receive, but it could easily be from a critic who is not your target audience. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I should point out that I'M BORED also went on to be a @jrlibraryguild.bsky.social selection & @nytimes.com Notable Children's Book, despite that first review. Strongly recommend authors & illus work to develop a thick skin; it's the only way to stay sane in the book publishing industry.

To book creators: Don't get discouraged by poor reviews. 1st review I rec'd for 1st #KidLit book I illustrated, written by the brilliant @michaelianblack.bsky.social, ended with "Ironically, boring." It still sells well & I'm still getting royalty checks 13 yrs later. debbieohi.com/im-picture-b...

Another busy day full of travel. But I found some cute art on my way!

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Good morning! Welcome to Monday and chaos.

We’ve been getting lots of questions about special editions — what they are, why they cost more, how to get them, and what we can (and can’t) answer. From dust jackets to sprayed edges, bonus fiction to collector value, we break it all down here: ilona-andrews.com/blog/special... ::hug::

Quiet Moment of the Day: Not every day is perfect. Not every day lets you do your best. But it's "Your Best" for a reason... it's your absolute best that you can do. Most days, you're going to do Your Average. It's good enough. #QuietMomentOfTheDay #BloomScrolling #Flowers #NaturePhotography

So this is one that shows up a few times here in the UAE - was historically referred to as Hypselodoris capensis - but is now more likely to be undescribed. This was found on a wreck down at 21m.

Places You Can Show Your Characters Personality: - decorations of personal spaces (bedroom, phone screen, private office, ect) - internal dialog (how they think and what they comment on) - interactions with other characters (how they treat people) - fashion (what they wear, ect) #LianaEdits

Friends, Your input, pls? Our local county parks is having an Autumn Photo event. I’m definitely submitting this Aspen Quote Post, but I want to submit a skipper pic, too (bc bugs). The purple alfalfa or yellow rabbitbrush pic but titled “Skipper’s Last Sip.” Your thoughts?

So first dive in over a year - and first dive in the UAE in about 4 years. A few Nudibranch were around which makes it nice. Here is the first one - an undescribed Phyllodesmium down at 21m.

Spite. Rage. Medication. Plus sunflowers and cooler weather.

Hitting the Sunday running out, so grab it while you can!

Use the first few paragraphs of each new chapter or section of your book to set the scene. Let the readers know where they are, whose POV they are in, and what is around the character. If it helps, think of your senses, what does the POV character see, hear, smell, and feel? #LianaEdits #AmWriting

I think my favorite part of the #cdrama #MeetYourself (on ep 12/40) is how they treat the grandmother character. She is capable, active, mentally participating in everything, not babied, a well-rounded character. So often in dramas, grandmas are just there to pity, care about and die.

... and I just realized I have a trope I didn't realized I liked. But I love all of these.

I haven't stopped internally screaming all week, but I think kiddo is settled and things should be calmer in another four weeks or so.

It’s the same “culture war” they’ve been waging since Reconstruction.

Today I had two people say lovely things about what I do here and my heart is full ☺️😊 It's a great way to bring a little joy to the world. Maybe give it a try #birds 🌿

Florida birders! 👇 #birds

they had one copy, which they were kind enough to let me sign

Setting up kiddo's new digs has been exasperating. I miss a good Daiso.

For fellow book creators who sometimes experience peer envy (hand waving here!) - here are some tips compiled from a poll I did a few years ago: debbieohi.com/2022/04/peer...

The Ram's Horn Squid (Spirula spirula) is the only living member of the order Spirulida. It's rather unique squid, with a spiral internal shell, photophores on the tip of its mantle, and the way it swims upside down. The first time we saw one alive in its natural habitat was in 2020! #SQUIDtember
