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?

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.

What if. What if. What if. That’s the refrain tonight. More a curiosity than an admonishment. More a prayer than a curse. A spell woven easily between hands.

Art is ritual. The algorithm is rot. Make art not content?

I've bought three books today just from 'overhearing' Bluesky conversations. Point being, if you like a thing, help the creator by talking about it.

Witches and demons how can you go wrong? Urban fantasy that starts off light and progressively builds tension, character dynamics, and conflict. Characters are enjoyable and the tease of romance perfect. Well paced and great plotting. I highly recommend this one by @rachel-aaron.bsky.social
