Her Dark Salvation is a BookBub Featured Deal in Dark Romance 👀 For only $0.99 you can start the series that readers are calling "cinematic" and "a wild ride." Happy reading! ❤️❤️❤️ books2read.com/Her-Dark-Salvation

With 58 hours left, there's a few of the limited stuff left (there's loads of digital rewards, too): *signed, numbered hardcover 3-book sets *Tuckerization place and thing (think brothel, bakery, street name) or person (think corpse, servant, priest). www.kickstarter.com/projects/tra...

Yup. We're cooked. End of an era. Both for our country and for me at my day job. Kinda hard to keep working somewhere if there's NO WORK. spacenews.com/nasa-budget-...

I used to get reviews themed "the main character is rude to staff, DNF I don't read unlikeable characters" and Bethany has probably killed more people than the fucking plague. IMO her being rude is the least of her issues. So if that's your thing 😅

Thank you for the review @theeclecticreview.bsky.social 🥰

@rdotspoon.bsky.social my amazing Angeleno Sister has joined me @evaleigh.bsky.social @katbrehmwrites.bsky.social @jilliangraves.bsky.social and more to support The California Community Foundation calling.org 💙ROMANCE FOR LOS ANGELES💙 charity auction. www.32auctions.com/RomanceForLo...

The ROMANCE FOR LOS ANGELES auction is live! I’ve offer up a signed set of my Beards & Bondage trilogy and a cute HARBOR character postcard. www.32auctions.com/organization...

Well, this is the most fucked up thing I've seen in... a few hours... This just came into my work email. And the part about efforts to "disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language" and how to report that should give everyone serious pause. I am speechless.

Hey there, new followers! I'm happy to see you here! I've got a swashbuckling romantasy coming out August 26, and it's all about pirate witches fighting the British navy in the Caribbean 🏴‍☠️ ps fuck fascism and oligarchs

Welp. I'm officially breaking my McFlurry moratorium. I was off of comfort McFlurrys for a good three weeks. Going strong. But that video was the last straw. I'm going to ask for extra Oreos, too.

What's happening today is really tough to stomach. Many of us feel helpless and hopeless. But now is the time to focus on our communities and organizations committed to protecting marginalized groups. It's why I decided to donate all preorder proceeds to the National Immigration Law Center.

I am not saying things are going to be fine. I am saying, find a thing to do that will put a little more hope in the world, however small.

If you’re looking to do some good today.

The Romance for Los Angeles auction is now live! Funds go directly to the California Community Foundation Fire Relief! I’m offering a signed Beards & Bondage trilogy and cute postcard from HARBOR. www.32auctions.com/organization...

I've donated a signed ARC of THE SEA WITCH! And there are so many amazing authors donating items to help people affected by the L.A. wildfires. Check it out, and let's help how we can!

The wildfires have impacted everyone in LA, and hundreds of people have lost everything. A group of us LA authors including myself, @evaleigh.bsky.social, @rdotspoon.bsky.social & @cindykehstories.bsky.social are holding an auction to raise for the California Community Fund. tinyurl.com/yc5hpzyb

I walked into Old Town Pasadena this afternoon to go to the gym. In that short distance, I saw fire trucks from Kern County, South Lake Tahoe, and Pasadena. The local fire station was stocked with donated water bottles and snacks.

We are going to have to rebuild this community one business and one home at a time, and so we are starting with Side Pie. You can donate here to help Kevin rebuild this pillar of our community: gofund.me/3dd6d3d1 12/?

Second, as some of you know, my husband runs LA Dead Night, the center of the Grateful Dead community here in Los Angeles. Many of our regulars are Altadena and Pasadena natives, and unfortunately, one of the other pillars of that community--Side Pie Pizzeria--was completely lost in the fires. 10/?

First, the Pasadena Humane Society is completely overwhelmed with displaced and injured animals. They are asking for monetary donations to help with the evacuation relief: pasadenahumane.org/give/donate/ 9/?

It's difficult to explain how I feel right now, what it's like to live in Pasadena. I suppose that's shock, a complete inability to process any of this. First, we are safe in the "ready" zone south of the freeway. 🧵 1/?

I’m so tired. I was doing great with my whole dry January thing but I’m not going to pretend like I can deal anymore. I’m having some wine and binge watching Reacher and trying to dissociate from the world literally burning down around me.

Central Park Pasadena

SO excited for this one, and what a gorgeous cover! Definitely preordering! 🤩

Good morning, everyone. It's been a long night to say the least. We're still safe. As of right now, the Eaton fire and evacuation zones have stopped at the 210, and we are very thankful. It's still an absolute disaster outside, and it's not over yet, but we're vigilant and ready to go if needed. 💜

Thank you, Governor Newsom. We will follow any evacuation orders!

In honor of moving here more officially, here is the cover for The Rogue Heiress. Dark times are coming for Lis and her crew, will marriage fix their problems or make them worse? Preorder now! Need to catch up? Book 1, The Desert Heiress is available on kindle and KU. #romantasy #romancelandia

His Dark Vendetta, Bonded in Blood Book Two, is coming May 1, 2025. Get ready for a wild ride!

LA is super creepy right now. JPL told us to work from home the next two days. I almost got knocked over trying to walk to my car and the back casing of my driver-side mirror blew off 😵‍💫 Our fence blew over. Twice. It's going to get worse before it gets better so stay safe out there Angelenos!

Just a reminder of the reminder…

The Last Crusade!

She had me at "stern brunch daddy" 😝

I need to clean my house, so I'm sitting on my couch scrolling.

This book is SO GOOD. The sharp prose is right up my alley: "I was certain he would be wearing tan boat shoes. I made a substantial bet with myself he was wearing them without socks. This was a man who wallowed in the yuppie dream like a pig in shit." Perfection. 🤌 cc @jenreadsromance.bsky.social

I have a new obsession. His name is Reacher.

FWIW, if you were a total Reacher newbie and just wanted a perfect Reacher book, one that does "Reacher as drifter" exceptionally well, this is the one I would probably recommend. Some of my other favorites play more with his background or the narration, but this book is just PERFECT REACHER.

I just started watching Season 1 of Reacher on Prime, and I'm so intrigued, I can't wait to dive into these books. Jen's breakdown is amazing and has me even more excited haha I'll post my thoughts and reactions as I read the books as well.

as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl. I’m primarily looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology/archaeology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

Feeling the post-draft-sent-to-editor ennui *hard* right now...
