Gomez likes the mist from the humidifier.

Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable if your weekend plans consist of nothing other than reading a good book, drinking multiple kettles of tea, and indulging in a scandalous amount of cinnamon rolls.

What is the sexiest possible 'favorite book' a male love interest could have, and why?

Okay, I need help… A friend, whose opinion I trust, has read my book and encouraged me to submit to agents. Because it’s military SF he’s suggested I look in the US. BUT I know nothing about US agents and his recs aren’t accepting subs right now. Does anybody have any recs for good US SF agents?

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

Hi, ALL of my published books (and many of my dozens of published poems and essays, going back to when I was a teenager) were stolen to feed AI. If that's you too--and if you're a writer, it probably is--here you go:

The mention of fountain pens and crows pulled me in. I strongly recommend Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis @stephanieburgis.bsky.social Engaging characters, well thought out fantasy world, enough conflict and danger to keep the plot moving, but above all it is an endearing love story.

Please meet the newest member of my family, Gomez Raul Julia. His friends call him Gogo.
