This. The electoral college has Americans in handcuffs but we can vote for school board members, judges (in some states), county commissioners, state reps, and people who affect our lives and communities on the daily.

My fellow Americans, SNAP's fucked up along with everything else. If you're in a position to help—not that this should be even a little necessary in one of the wealthiest nations in history—and don't know where to start, you can use this site to find local mutual aid orgs: www.mutualaidhub.org

I couldn’t be: 1. Prouder 2. Less surprised Carrie wrote a beautiful, brilliant debut and it’s beyond satisfying to see it get the recognition it deserves. Congratulations, baby ❤️❤️❤️

I love a good game!

Game time! @byrdwrites.bsky.social & I are doing GCLS cross-promo. The first conference attendee to find me and answer a trivia question gets a free, signed paperback of Carrie’s THREE time Goldie nominee book Loser of the Year! Q: What’s the name of the school where Jillian and Mattie teach?

Catch me at GLCS! Ahhh, I can’t believe it’s tomorrow!

This means a lot to me and answers questions I’ve had my whole life. I don’t share a lot of personal stuff here but I feel this matters. I’ve been cruel to myself for a long time and am wondering, now, if I can learn to stop doing that. Interested to hear from other folks in the same situation.

Happy Fourth of July! Everything in the USA feels terrible! 🦅 My July newsletter goes out tomorrow, and it's got some goofy stuff I hope will lighten your spirit. For myself, I plan to spend today reading about the storming of the Bastille. No reason why. You can sign up here: shorturl.at/iROpS

In less than a month, my sapphic romantasy THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES has gotten over 1 million page reads on Kindle Unlimited. I’m in shock, and so grateful for everyone who’s gone on Madeleine and Hæra’s journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I love making playlists for my books, and for my sapphic romantasy THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES I decided to do a proper movie score. Like the book, it’s by turns epic, exciting, heartbreaking, and very romantic. Readers will know why the bonus track is there too 😈 Link in reply!

“Every moment—whether funny, heartbreaking, or hopeful—carries weight and meaning. I didn’t just enjoy reading this book; I felt it. And even after turning the last page, I’m still thinking about these characters.” Thanks so much to @thelesbianreview.com for this incredible review!

This week I put the author in Guess the Author courtesy of @iheartsapphfic.bsky.social! Thanks, IHS! iheartsapphfic.com/2025/06/21/j...

New WIP based on my time in Spain, “Is This City Street For Driving or Nah? A Mystery”

I love a big hardback with a dust jacket, and my sapphic romantasy THE WOMAN FROM THE WAVES scratched that itch big time. The cover is so smooth and pretty 🤩
