Hi #TBRuary - (raising hand in both "by" and "about" disabilities and chronic illness here.) All my books have representation for both, but the most personal one is lynnstrong.com/books/haroun : a blind dogfolk and his seeing-eye human have never met a crime of fashion they wouldn't commit!

#writesky I am still hugely entertained (and slightly boggled) by how I went from this post at the start of February to a total of 80,000 words by mid April to this next post by mid August...

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

💙📚🪐📚⚡ Hey, anyone interested in a book subscription that doesn't enrich the Zon & doesn't require authors to remove their books from every other system? Kobo Plus does that. Here's a sample of Kobo Plus-available books from fantasy, mystery, romance, & more... books.bookfunnel.com/feb-mar-kobo...

omg, so cute I am currently a puddle of d'awww 🐱💕🐶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUyD...

I just finished my ARC of The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen and it was delightful. A scholar stays at an inn determined to record its history and the adventurers who climb the mountain. You'll like it if you enjoyed The Spellshop series. #cozyfantasy #bookreview #fantasybooks

it's the end of an era, the final book in The Gus Chronicles #cozyfantasy trilogy will release on April 9th! Pre-orders will go up in late March. 😍😍 "What is Time, to a Dragon?" ( Open full size to see)

(all purpose screaming into the void, the brainweasels are rabid this weekend)

#fantasyindiesfebrurary Saturday Snippet Day 7 From Demon Marked, a sapphic cozy fantasy, coming next month! #booksky #sapphic #paranormalromance #cozyfantasy #cozymystery

💙📚🪐📚🌈📚🌶 hey #cozyfantasy and #romancelandia #ARCReader folks: Anyone want a free Advance Review Copy? If anyone prefers BookSirens to BookFunnel, it's now live there too: booksirens.com/book/MP64SWQ...

Promo for the 7th: I write fantasy because I can make a world where nobody gets away with patriarchal bullshit, or even thinks to do it 99% of the time ** and male characters still exist in them (yes, it's possible to do both if you want to) Elsewise: My ebooks are now on Bookshop.org! 🌟

I love that actual historical food both hits "this would be fun in February in particular, with all the pinkness" and "built in low spoons recipe modifier for disabled folks from the 10th century onward." Bc my own cozy fantasy is happy to be inclusive! lynnstrong.com/2026/02/07/p...

Hey knowers of the ways of social media... I love that I've got over ten times as many interesting and informative people to watch here as I ever did over on the other sites. But that means I also never had to learn how to cluster people beyond the Mutuals button? Anyone know wrangling tips?

#writesky I know what three things I need to write next and in what order. I didn't need insomnia-sleepfail to land me with another whole plot and a half that I can even remember because I didn't make it to sleep. I have to finish the projects I'm already on, catmuse. (But it's adorable. Arrgh.)

Eeee! I am so excited to read this book again, but in PRINT this time! 😍 A brand-new paperback of Chai and Cat-tales has arrived, authored by the delightful @lynnstrong.bsky.social #bookjoy #cozyfantasy #literarycats

because that's what heroes do

Today's #WIPSnips and interspecies miscommunication: Being catfolk, Hira thinks that human "depravity" means "enjoying horrible things like water all over you." But it's going to be easier than she thinks to persuade these traveling priests that a bath sounds nice! #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This is the cozy fantasy edition of perishing: when a prophet doesn't even need prophecy to know exactly how his friend is going to tease him about a long-hidden teenaged crush, and he needs to head that off at the pass right quick! #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

This story is terrific! I’m so happy to have discovered the impressive storytelling skills of @tiatashiro.bsky.social and to support her work however I can. Looking for more intriguing tales after this one! 😃

Last year I had a better shot at balancing the romance and non-romance book links in February. This year it was 90% romance and 10% not. So I'm delighted to see and boost more options for folks who are like "please, I really need a break from all the valentinosity!"

💙 📚 🪐 📚 🌶️ So do you celebrate Valentine's Day or Discount Chocolate Eve? Either way, from "all the romance" to "no romance please," here's a new month's free and discount book collection. (This thread is taking me two hours to assemble with image replacements for alt text, y'all, pardon any typos!)

Adding to the cozy fantasy meets historic recipes collection with Mad Alchemists' Cheese and Other Surprises, including Accidental Earl Grey Paneer. Ranveer the not-an-alchemist-but-maybe-a-visionary has likely made all of these, much to the dismay of his landlady. lynnstrong.com/2026/01/31/c...

💙📚⚡ I've just finished reading a sample of @tjdeschamps.bsky.social 's Deviously Delicious and I'm intrigued! There's a lot of cozy fantasy notes in a diverse small town with a struggling bakery -- but the mystery comes in when everyone has secrets of some kind. buy.bookfunnel.com/dnm4yvsj35?t...

I’m super proud of the stories in Women and Other Creatures. I wrote them all during the shitshow of 2025 and I hope they help a few people get a break from the shitshow of 2026 for a while. I’m also proud of the cover, which I designed. It might be my favorite of them all.

#writesky dilemmas me, writing Haroun: okay I know food is a huge part of cozy fantasy but 50 pages of recipes MIGHT be overkill on a 375 page book, get down to 10% my intentions: write <50 pages of recipes for Charmcraft my outcome: write 500 pages of book ...okay 10% achieved? BUT. SELF. REALLY.

How are we in the Groundhog Day movie when it's not even February, but between this and the likely end of telehealth on Jan 30 I'm flashing back real hard to February 2025...

(happy happy squeakings about chibi Faraj by @lurizonart.bsky.social !) 😍💕🥰

AI bros are unreal. ‘Here is something we made and have decided you cannot live without it!!!!!!!!!!!’ ‘I’ve been living without it just fine so far.’ ‘You need it to LIIIIIIIVE.’ Try as you might, AI bros, most of us like using our brains, not stealing or being lazy, and not killing the planet.

Does anyone know a Maryland attorney willing to take on a pro bono case for a disabled person fighting the MVA for a driver's liscence? I'm on a very short deadline and need representation within the next few days.

And another recipe joins the cozy fantasy book-related nibbles collection: from Egyptian haloum to Cyprus' halloumi, with flavorings layered in along the way. Vegan versions also possible! lynnstrong.com/2026/01/24/c... (Also, if you like free ARC copies of coming-soon books, let me know!)

I already couldn't use TikTok bc motion sensitive vestibular disorder, and can't use Meta bc cross site Eye of Sauron surveillance. So to me this is why not to use something I already couldn't. But I'm worried about the #booktok people who don't know abt the Eye of Sauron expanding its gaze.

I would love to read a cozy fantasy about how awesome it is to have Somali people in your Minnesota neighborhood and the goodness of cultural exchange and delicious bakeries and such. (Bonus points for a title making a windshield de-icing type pun in the title.)

Readers... this AI shit in Amazon ebooks is something authors can't opt out of and it's frankly illegal, but when did that stop tech companies? The only thing they respond to (sometimes) is customer backlash — don't use this feature and tell Amazon you hate it. kindlepreneur.com/amazon-ask-t...

You came recommended from a Discord server I respect and I am totally down with the anti-AI sentiment :D

If you see this and agree, you are obligated to rec a book by a fantasy author who's still writing. I don't make the rules. I mean, I do. Please though? It'd be great.

💙📚🌈📚🪐📚♿📚❤️🫖 I think I've gotten to the last 5% of editing on Chai and Charmcraft. The good part of editing is it makes it shine; the bad part is I'm staring at the hard parts! But this #cozyfantasy meets #romancelandia should be out in May. Now for format & blurb! lynnstrong.com/books/charmc...

Translation for those who don't speak Minnesota Nice: "I'm not planning to let you do that" is roughly the 21st century equivalent of "Odin is about to own your puny arse, bootlicker" from the many-greats grandchildren of the Vikings.

Okay here we go - more recipes from Haroun and the Study of Mischief will be going up every Saturday until I run out, and then it'll be time for cozy beverages and historical treats from Charmcraft! First up: za'atar makes (almost) everything taste better... lynnstrong.com/2026/01/17/s...

💙📚💕 a lot of book funnels start on the first of the month, but here's one that starts on the 15th - shout out to #romancelandia, have some #freebooks! books.bookfunnel.com/politicalint...

Scroll down far enough for the interview with the middle aged lady, there is no way that accent comes from anywhere but authentic Minnesota 🤟

Telehealth expires (again) in 2 weeks. It would be great if you'd call your Senators to tell them to renew it, but every time I ask, fewer folks respond. Note that this article says, "Our seniors deserve better, and Congress must implement a permanent fix," but www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

me: argh 4 days of storm/no storm yoyo has resulted in headbanging the whole time also me: hunted down a doctoral dissertation from 1987 to find the right term for medieval Cairene apartment buildings because I forgot 'tenement' was right there in English, but also rab' are interesting #writesky

And I've officially finished off the recipe reposts for Chai and Cat-tales! Haroun's recipes are probably next, and I hope to be posting Charmcraft's recipes by the time the preorder is up, or at least by launch day... lynnstrong.com/2026/01/06/s...

ARCs for Lily in the Mist! Free download will only be available until the 10th (pubbing on Amazon after then). If interested in a copy in exchange for an honest review (non-obligatory though), I’ll DM the bookfunnel link 🤗🩵 #cozyfantasy #fantasybooks #snowleopards

More catching up with cozy fantasy recipes on my website... part of the not-a-summoning-more-like-inviting-really ritual for the Eldest Archivist, who wouldn't let a minor detail like mortality interrupt her TBR pile: lynnstrong.com/2026/01/04/z...
