THE LIBRARIANS, by Sherry Thomas. Such fun. So clever. I love her LADY SHERLOCK series, so I'm not surprised I so enjoyed this as well.

Some pictures of my Austin, TX public library, where THE LIBRARIANS, which releases TODAY is set. For a more complete visual guide for the book, sherrythomas.com/the-libraria...

I woke up to a lovely review of THE LIBRARIANS in the NYT! Woot! And the reviewer also called the book "a fizzy delight". Haha, I guess I turn effervescent when I write mysteries. To order your copy: books2read.com/ST-Librarians

Signed bookplates specific to THE LIBRARIANS. The background is an old library and the postcard stamp is also significant to the love story in the book.

I’ve stepped up my book signing game! These are for @poisonedpenbookstore. Yesterday I signed books for @larkandowlbooksellers with different stamps—forgot to take pics!—and for my actual release day event I’ll use yet again different ones. Finally a use for my sizable collection acrylic stamps!

I'm teaching a 3-hour online romance-writing class next Wednesday, October 1, that deals with this large topic from structure in. I didn't used to understand romance makes as much demand on structure as any other genre, so this is all I've learned. :D To register: writersleague.org/calendar/ana...

Ack, where did time go? But you can still preorder! Still time to preorder: books2read.com/ST-Librarians

One more blurb, this time from the inimitable Shelby Van Pelt, author of REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES. Thank you so much, Shelby! Here's your preorder link: books2read.com/ST-Librarians

My favorite review so far of THE LIBRARIANS! "Stunningly satisfying", folks. Can't ask for more than that from a book, can you? 🤗

I'm teaching my "Anatomy of a Romance" online class for the Writers League of Texas on Oct 1. This one goes from structure in. writersleague.org/calendar/ana...

Jonathan from THE LIBRARIANS.

Endpaper and sprayed edge for my story in aftertheendromance.com collection

cover, blurb, and first line for my story for the AFTER THE END collection. aftertheendromance.com

Austin-area romance writers, come hear literary agent Alyssa Morris at our August meeting on 8/12, 5:45-7:45pm, Howson Branch library. $10 fee. Alyssa is incredibly knowledgeable about the current marketplace.

I need to borrow a bit of that virtuosity for current manuscript, ack.

Introducing Sophie

This is Hazel and I love Hazel and I don't say this lightly but it occurs to me just now that I might like to be Hazel? Or at least have resting enigmatic face, lol. B&N has a 25% off preorder promotion for members until 7/11. ARC giveaway for THE LIBRARIANS on Goodreads until 7/30.

My first straight-up romance in ten years, as part of the AFTER THE END collection. Dystopian, but it's set far enough After The End that it's not about hardships and whatnot. I love reunited lovers, I love angst, and boy do I love magical amnesia so this novella is straight up my own alley!

Great news for Austin writers @writingtable.bsky.social

A quote from THE LIBRARIANS about sunsets on Mount Bonnell and a couple of pics from my 2 recent trips there escorting visiting family members

Austin-area romance writers, our new group--not affiliated with RWA--now has a website. www.austinromancewriters.org Check it out and come hang out with us. (As was the case before, you don't need to write genre romance to enjoy and benefit from our meetings.)

Another new author pic. No wrinkly low-res version this time but the wrinkles will be back in the triumphant conclusion of the Author Portrait trilogy next week! Don’t forget to hit up Jingaling Photography if you’re getting married in Austin.

I was on a romance panel and my two fellow panelists both listed their favorite trope as enemies-to-lovers. It took me until the end of the panel to realize that my favorite trope of all time is lovers-to-enemies, lol. And then back to lovers, somehow.

What do I enjoy the most about THE LIBRARIANS? Lol, I started as a romance writer, so the romance, of course.

New author photo. Completely airbrushed final version to the left, and somewhat less airbrushed not-so-final version to the right--the second one provided in case it's not obvious that the one on the left smoothed away a few decades from my face, lol. (No AI required in the use of em dash.)

I have heard that people view usage of em dashes as a sign of AI at work. Oy, I use a lot of em dashes.

Austin-area readers, come join us at the Books and Bees Festival in Bee Caves next Saturday!

I have a 1-hr videocall up for bid at the Crime Writers for Trans Rights online auction (open now, ends April 1). Proceeds benefit the ongoing work of @TransLawCenter. Please get involved! www.32auctions.com/organization... #CrimeWriters4TransRights

Wanna chat with one of your favorite authors--say, @meggardiner.bsky.social @alisongaylin.bsky.social or @sherrythomas.com? A writing critique from #WilliamKentKrueger or @arttaylorwriter.bsky.social? Bidding is open, NOW IS THE TIME! #crimewritersfortransrights www.32auctions.com/organization...

The Lark & Owl is my local indie and I love them. They've weathered the pandemic but the construction outside their door has gone on too long and affected foot traffic. They just need a little bit to get through a rough patch! givebutter.com/LarkandOwl?u...

Back to writing a few postcards to voters because why not?

This is the cover for THE LIBRARIANS, my magnum opus (in the sense that it might be the most words I've ever put into a single book 😉). And I have uploaded an excerpt too. sherrythomas.com/the-libraria...

Have just finished copyedits on THE LIBRARIANS. I love it so much. Especially the romance(s). 😍
