NOT MY BOY ETHAN, Noooooooo 😭😭

Is there a more heart sinking sight when you’re sitting at the poolside for your kids’ lessons?

Apparently if you write books, you're supposed to sometimes remind people that you write books. (I write books.) If you like twisty, fantastic tales with everything from serial killers, to body horror, to epic discoveries, my SFF has got you covered! bookshop.org/lists/books-...

want to get your hands on a signed UK hardcover (not available anywhere else because different covers/formats) of The Gentleman and his Vowsmith AND raise money to support trans rights in the UK and South Africa? you can do that here! www.32auctions.com/organization...

This book was so much fun - highly recommend!

I have no hesitation in saying that if you liked my books, you'll like this, especially if you wish I'd leaned harder into the "creepy murder mystery" and "trapped in a manor house full of awful people" aspects. A GAY & VERITABLE BANGER.

my upcoming book already being most famous for having the line “gay as a spoon” 🤣🤣

My Aussie pals, I need you to check your copy and tell me if I got a magic bean or the whole first printing is like this!!

I just finished this and it’s SO good you guys. Funny, creepy, charming and sweet. You may come out obsessed with Leaf, like I did

I’ve been absent lately thanks largely to the joys of home renovation but wanted to shout out these 2 excellent books that came out in the last week, both of which I loved, starting exciting new series by excellent humans @devinmadson.bsky.social & @andreagstewart.bsky.social Commend them to you!

I am not at Worldcon Glasgow and I am so sad about it and wildly jealous and wish desperately I was there hanging out with so many cool friends 😭😭 but I hope you all have a fantastic time!

In covid iso isn’t how I’d choose to spend my bday. On the other hand, got a chance to read; flew through the superb The Gods Below by @andreagstewart.bsky.social - fun, incredibly inventive - some god tier worldbuilding (pun intended) - and a cast of characters you won’t get out of your head!

Today's the day! THE SKY ON FIRE is live. Thank you to everyone. You've all been so supportive and I appreciate you!

Really looking forward to this one!

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I am just continuously screaming inside with how excited I am about this book!!! Writing it just felt so fresh and good and exciting, and I think it'll give people the kind of fun-yet-intense page-turny escape that I love as a reader. I can't wait to share it!!!

I heard it's Lesbian Visibility Week? As a lesbian who has written books with lesbians... *gestures vaguely in a lesbian fashion*

This was *such* a fun read, grab it for a bargain!

Yessss

Recite 80% of a movie and you get $500K. What movie are you picking? (Been training for this for 35 years baby. 80%? Bah!)

Back to BJJ tonight for the first time in… a lot of years. I will die. But at least i will have died doing what i love: rolling around on the ground with sweaty people in a heavy coat in 30 degrees C

Hey pals! I’m currently available to do sensitivity reads for non-binary/queer/lesbian/adhd characters! $300USD for up to 120k, rates negotiable for shorter work! Discounts for marginalised folks! Questions welcome, RTs appreciated! 😊❤️

SO! I just only now discovered when checking in on the TOT sale that THE QUICKSILVER COURT is also on sale for $1.99?! I have never seen it this cheap! You can get the first 2 books of the series for $5! I have no idea what's happening or how long this will last! www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y8LWRH6/

I am under a hayfever cloud this morning and feeling miserable but here’s a pretty cake to brighten our collective mornings (I made this for friends last night and it’s seriously good)

Oh, nothing, just @shelleyparkerchan.bsky.social unravelling then reassembling my heart with this beautiful cruel beast of a book

Beach day! Morrigan had a proper swim for the first time and LOVED it

In this, my favourite week of the year, we are accomplishing little but having the best time doing it. Here is a boy and his dog on a meander, and that’s about as busy as the day got

Best seat in the house in summer

Guys this is a superb book, and a great deal!

This one is making it very hard to get up!

If you want to know which queer books came out in 2023, the indefatigable Kai has you covered with the 2023 Queer Adult SFF list. Check it out, and purchase liberally!

Sick but pretending not to be so my son doesn’t notice and wake up coughing, suddenly unable to go to camp 😷Lucky he’s opportunistic but extremely unobservant

Y'all, discoverability is harder than ever. With Twitter all but gone and publishing being --in a mood-- your favorite authors are floundering. We don't know how to reach our fans or find new readers. Telling someone about a book you love is a really big deal. That's the #1 reason people buy books!

The Nara candle festival was gorgeous but I now have ptsd from waiting ninety minutes for the rolled icecream 😭😭😭

While you’ve got your fingers ready to shop - I live this series and it’s superbly narrated. Ridiculous bargain, get on it

US pals, the audio of my first book is on sale for the first time ever - 18 hours of listening for the bargain price of $6.99 - so if you’ve ever thought you’d like to give it a go, now’s a great time! www.audible.com/pd/City-of-L...

It’s not that I’m *spoiled* exactly it’s just that I’m living the lifestyle I deserve, Morrigan assures us

This beach baby is never going to want to leave

Her love of digging is something to behold

I reckon I have accidentally whacked my heel on a lazy breakfall conservatively at least 500 times in my life and have never managed a lasting injury from it but hey I like to challenge myself

Get up, you say? Before this fog lifts? Surely you jest.

Everything Jen writes is amazing and I am SO excited for this!

I'm super proud of my current trilogy, a treatise on colonialism, power structures, and fungal magic that features some of the best service dogs you'll ever meet. Book 1 is The Stone Knife https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-stone-knife-anna-stephens/1629831?ean=9780008404048

What do you mean, I may not have more cheese?

Cover reveal! This beautiful art is by Jaime Jones https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/megan-e-okeefe/the-fractured-dark/9780316291132/

The First Omega, my Fury Road x The Old Guard x Blade Runner novella. It's a voice I really enjoyed writing, but it released to digital first so it flew largely under the radar.

I love all Kate’s work but this was possibly my absolute favourite and I will never not be mad we were denied the rest of it!

In my case a duology but same principle - Hollow Empire launched mid pandemic after a long delay between books (which was largely out of my hands) and I know many people, even people who loved City, never got to it.

THE FAITHLESS sequel to THE UNBROKEN To secure Luca's power and Touraine's freedom, the two of them must overcome their enemies, their history, and their heartbreak. Both have made promises they won't be able to keep. Available now: US: bit.ly/3F2VkDV UK: bit.ly/3F59UuB

And they’re saying we delved too greedily, they’re saying—do we like delving, folks? Do we love it. Mo-ri-a. We dug a thousand perfect mines, okay, but the elves, they don’t want you to know, and they’ve been very nasty to me
