HI FRENS what a weird time to have good news, but…I have some? Biggest thanks and unhinged screaming to editor Alicia Clancy, agent Claire Friedman, and Badell for going on this swoony, spicy, STEMmy adventure with me! LET THE BONE JOKES…BEGIN

It’s release day for THE RIPPLE EFFECT 🩷😭🩷😭🩷 This book shattered my heart, ruined my life, saved my soul, and put together my broken pieces better than before. She’s my defiant second child; the best, purest, deepest part of me. Welcome to the world, little star. I’ll forgive you if you forgive me 🩷

NGL the reviews (and especially this kind of praise from @michellehazen) have me on my knees 🩷😭🩷😭🩷

LAST DAY to get Rules for Second Chances for $3.99 🩷🩷🩷 you have your assignment

The Ripple Effect is a gentle hug for the soul. A steaming cup of tea sipped while watching an amber sunrise in the mountains. It's the tender kiss of a partner whose lips silently whisper their acceptance of every nuance of your being. Give this book a chance. I promise you won't regret it.

tfw you get your braces off and you’re already planning to show your ancient enemy how the tables have turned. And by ancient enemy I mean broccoli

Right how do we vote for this thing 😍

Hot take: STOP calling it “generative” AI. START calling it derivative AI, or regurgitative AI. It doesn’t generate anything new, it only repackages stolen human work (and gets it wrong half the time anyway) #booksky

Today I learned that you must never say “goddammit” while using voice recognition software because it sounds just a bit too much like “cut document” and that is too much excitement for a Sunday afternoon

Happy Valentine’s Day from McHuge, Stellar, Tobin, and Liz 🩷 Links in my bio 💕

Romance author life: I got “doesn’t romance set unrealistic standards for girls?” while in the shower at the pool and now everyone in the locker room has discussed consent, female pleasure/agency, and the dangers of focusing criticism of popular culture solely on genres largely consumed by women 😌

You don't hire autistic people so you can tell them what to do. You hire autistic people so they can tell you, wild-eyed and exhausted, what they found down the rabbit hole they stumbled down in the course of their normal work

This program is a DELIGHT 🩷

Love to see RULES FOR SECOND CHANCES finding its people 🥹🩷

Hey 🇨🇦 !! Wanted to let you know that my relentlessly Canadian romances are available for purchase or preorder at 🇨🇦 bookstores! Also my pen name is short for “magnetic north” so it doesn’t get more Canuck that that ❤️🍁❤️ #Canada #buyCanadian

Current energy: cross post everything, everywhere lolollll THE RIPPLE EFFECT, coming June 17, 2025

Made a social mistake and now I have to clear all the 3am slots on my schedule for a little endless rehashing

Babe I would totally make dinner but I’m busy feeling dysphoric and eating weird things

The thing about being Canadian is that you will stumble across phrasing like “the Saskatchewan province of Canada” in a major US newspaper and then have to carry on with your day like your eyeballs aren’t hemorrhaging #Canada #Canucksky

Best publishing hack I learned the hard way: Keep a document of quick links for your book. Sync it across all of your devices. It should have: - ISBNs - publisher landing page for your book - Goodreads and Netgalley links - bookseller links (eg B&N for presales) 1/2

The tension between me and my computer as it decides whether it will or will not boot up for the first time after I installed a new piece of hardware

So the good news is that my glasses are now very clean and they DIDN’T go into the dryer

Me realizing that all my romances are quite possibly fanfic for the “I like your beard” line in that Ke$ha song

The thing about being a high-masking, low support needs autistic is that a number of your family members will deny your diagnosis yet somehow at holiday gatherings they always manage to make a joke about what a weird, hyperfocused, obsessive little kid you were

Me to me, arriving at the library: We stay cool. We stick to the plan. Surgical strike mission, maintain focus, take only the books you have on hold Me to me, leaving the library: Okay team. Let’s break down what went wrong in there

chuck tingle, notable 'joke' and 'bit', still wildly successful despite neurotypical people thinking autistic folks cant possibly create 'real' art

Power door locks are so convenient but I feel sad that Gen Z will never know the power of manually unlocking a date’s door first, then watching them reach across the car to unlock yours and deciding then and there that it’s gonna be tonight

Me, drafting: okay how bout we get them from the car to the store in one sentence. We can do that My brain: JFC NO WE GOTTA COUNT EXACTLY HOW MANY STEPS ACROSS THE SUMMER SIDEWALK SO HOT UNDER THEIR FEET, SMELLS LIKE CITY, VICTORY IS NIGH My word count: *groans like the Titanic breaking in half*

Hot take: non-bookish people who obliviously inquire “how are your sales?” should only ever be answered with “good!” This is because 1. They have no idea about publishing, and 2. *You* get to define what “good” means 😌 #BookSky

Me arguing with my feelings like today is somehow the day they are magically going to be like “you know what, let’s give logic a try”

I absolutely do not understand how Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy was this huge cultural phenomenon and yet the unlikeable female main character is still a frontier we have to defend in contemporary romance

Why can’t I be an energetic chaos drafter instead of the writer who gets weak and dizzy when I go from a sparkly finished book to a sucky a$s first draft 🤢
