My quarterly trip to The Ripped Bodice is coming up soon! Order signed books by March 21st for delivery in early April. Signed books make great gifts for Mother’s Day, birthdays, Easter… they also make great gifts to yourself because you deserve nice things.❤️ www.therippedbodice.com/product/tess...

Relevant to my interests (also LOVE the @tessadare.bsky.social cover in the article!). Hopefully, it catches on and becomes a destination for romance authors to be supported outside of Kindle publishing. #booksky #sapphfic

Does anyone use a hypoallergenic (to cats) kitty litter that they recommend? I think the dust from our clumping litter is giving one of my kitties a rash.

heyyyy! your yearly reminder that this anthology exists and IT'S ON SALE RN #romancelandia #historicalromance #romancenovels

It’s official! So relieved and happy to know that Derek Tran will be representing my family and our neighbors in Congress.

omg, this is official?? YES!!! this is my district! I’d stopped checking the results because I was too sad, and then lo and behold. Knowing we’re no longer represented by Steele is an immense relief. I’m gonna choose to believe the voter postcards I hand-wrote helped, just a tiny bit.

Apparently my alma mater became the biggest feel-good underdog story of the college football season, so Loki and I got up early in California to cheer for THE Hoosiers take THE win over A college from Ohio. I love that you can troll a whole football rival with indefinite articles. It’s so nerdy.

There are a lot of reasons to go see WICKED on opening weekend, and yes maybe it’s weird that my particular reason was Jonny Bailey sharing a screen with a goat. Just let me have this, ok. We all deserve to fly. 😭

A bunch of new folks are following me over here. I feel like I should post… Here are photos of my dog and my latest read, The Ornithologist’s Field Guide to Love by India Holton. I adored it. Delightfully nerdy, romantic & fun. If you have more nerdy, romantic, delightful books to rec, pls do!

Do you need some joy in this rough week?? @leighharlen.bsky.social is doing a flash auction for Trans Lifeline, and I think you'll recognize many Romancing the Vote crafters here! Maybe a second chance to snipe something you missed??? And it's open now! www.32auctions.com/ProtectTrans...

It’s been almost a year since I was active on any social media, and … tbh I will probably disappear from this one any minute now! But I want to keep my accounts working just in case. Here, have a drawing of a snail.

I heard Brasil moved to Bluesky…

Writers, should your main character have main character syndrome? Discuss.

It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.

If the district says being shot is a hazard of working in their schools, they’re saying it’s a hazard of attending their schools. I’d love to see every parent in the district keep their kids home and refuse to send them back until the school district agrees a shooting isn’t an expected “hazard.”

This is @tessadare.bsky.social's kind of Writer Camp.

I want to find an uplifting podcast that’s not an “uplifting podcast.” A well-told narrative that has a satisfying ending, or at least isn’t about murder.

Hello #romancelandia? Am I doing this right?

Have you pre-ordered Horny Dragon: Book 1 by Kit Rocha ? I managed to look sad until Bree sent me an ARC and now I've read it like 3 times already. Also I'm pretty sure the actual title is CONSORT OF FIRE. Gods! Family! Betrayal! Polyamory! HORNY DRAGON!!!

Okay, I have finally set up an account. It will take me a while to figure out who to follow, follow back, etc … please be patient with me. Here, have a photo of a blue sky in the Scottish borderlands from my recent walking trip!
