Folks in Western Michigan, if you wish to brave the snow this Saturday, I will be giving a reading and signing books at Booked Up in Kalamazoo at 1 PM along with @jeshonard.bsky.social and @marieparks.bsky.social. Come say hello!

There's a brand-new bookstore opening in Kalamazoo, MI on January 2nd, and I'm honored to be their first guest author appearance, along with @jeshonard.bsky.social and @marieparks.bsky.social. I'll see you for a reading and signing at Booked Up on Saturday, January 24 at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Hey, those are my books in that stack!

If this Gaston movie happens, this the only version of him I want to see.

When I left Michigan last week it was fall. When I returned yesterday it was winter. Cue me shaking my fist at the (way too prevalent) clouds.

Tried a new therapist today. 20 minutes into my spiel she looks at me point blank and asks, "So, have you always had control issues?" I've never been called out so fast and so accurately in my life. 😂

As another writer, I approve of this message.

🤩

Book Birthday!!!!!!!! 🎂 🥳✨🎉 Undeniable is OUT! 💃

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

#NoKings Excellent turnout in #Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Tried to do a photo shoot of Undeniable with the cat. She immediately went to her buttons and pressed "All Done."

Went to a Shut Up and Write event. Brought the wrong computer. 😭 Everything is FINE.

My new book is in my haaaaaaaaaaaands! Publisher: @notapipe.bsky.social Coauthor: @jeshonard.bsky.social Preorder: marieparks.com/order-undeniable

Saw Come From Away at the local theatre tonight. Second time seeing it on stage and yep, it still makes me cry multiple times. SUCH a good show.

The feeling of holding a physical copy of your book for the first time never gets old. ARCs are here, and I'm filled with joy! Thank you for this stunning cover art @laurenrayesnow.bsky.social, for believing in our story @notapipe.bsky.social, and for being the best coauthor @jeshonard.bsky.social.

Wish I was still in the East Bay! What a group.

Ok time to see what all this K-Pop Demon Hunter hype is about

Article. Sometimes I feel like the only human left who immediately nopes out of video content.

Yesssssss

Pinned post update! 📌 Help us hit our preorder goal! 🎉 If you like... 🏳️‍🌈 Ace main character energy 💕 Found family ✨ Hidden magic ...then meet Bridget. Her sister is missing. The detective is being an ass. She decides to take matters into her own hands and gets more than she bargained for. 🧵 👇👇

I love seeing how these covers continue to evolve for new audiences.

Eeeeeee!!!!! NEW COVER!!!!!

Actual footage of me managing a major virtual conference, getting ready for a writing workshop, and prepping for my own book's cover reveal/pre-order launch all in the same week.

Whoo finished my critique commentary, packed my bags, and printed my boarding tags. Writing Excuses 2025 is SO CLOSE I can taste the all you can eat desserts.

The weird part about the world burning down is that I still have to, like, do the dishes and stuff.

What do two debut authors do when their first book sells well enough to warrant a sequel? Panic! Then learn. Then write. Then panic again, because deadlines. But it's all good. We got this. I'm totally calm and not anxious AT ALL.

Best writing buddy, even if she's grumpy about it.

Officially the first person to get the new COVID vaccine at my pharmacy. 💉

Gonna do the promo thing for a minute here... ...because @marieparks.bsky.social and I FINALLY have a release date for Undeniable, the sequel to Unrelenting. If you like found families, ancient magic in a modern setting, and ace main characters, save the dates. 👇

Probably the most accurate indicator of how Worldcon has been going so far

Great first day of Worldcon, with panels about queer villains, found family, and more. Plus, good people. So many good people.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.

Today I learned that tomatillos start out hollow

Got some important dates queued up today for the fall! 👀

Look at that face.

Why do cats only puke on carpet? The world may never know.

Officially one week into the 5k to 10k program because I guess I'm a runner now. Dammit.

Okay okay okay, for the seventh movie in a franchise that's been getting progressively sillier, Jurassic World Rebirth was actually kinda fun

No one understands the principles of exponential growth quite like an email marketer 😵‍💫

Holy crap I wrote 5k words today. Dunno when the last time that happened was.

I've been doing a Couch 2 5k in an attempt to move more because I guess exercise is good for you and stuff. It's a 9 week program, and I'm starting week 8. Which begs the question... when does it stop sucking?

Whelp.

Stranger: Oh, is that your...? Me: Wife. We're married. Stranger: Oh, lovely! *launches into story about the one queer person they know* Me: *nervous laughter while searching for nearest exit* Cool, um... cool. Every. Time.

The Star Trek franchise. I distinctly remember him gathering the family each week for the new Voyager episode.

Spider mites might be my villain origin story

Kalamazoo, MI turned out for #NoKings Hundreds of people lining the streets today! I definitely need to up my sign game.

Wow. Today is certainly... busy
