Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Leaving tomorrow for our annual off-the-grid Christmas camping* & after the stress of 2025 I am SO READY. Happy holidays if you celebrate one this time of year & best wishes for a peaceful week all!! 💜 (*tbf it's "glamping" w/ running water + electricity but *no Internet*, I'm excited 😂)

The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results

Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching. secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

Autumn in the South is having the temperature drop from 100F/38C to 85F/29C and you go "YAY FALL!" and put an apple crisp in the oven.

Quick update that I've heard from more writers who got this email from "Allie." 😖 This is NOT me; this is likely a marketing scam using my name as a...platonic author pal honey trap?? 🫠 The scammers are wild right now, y'all. Stay safe! 💜 🌈📚

Hey y'all ❤️ Apologies that I am so behind my messages but wanted to share: A fellow writer alerted me that they received a fake email from a fake Allie Therin. If you get something like this, it's NOT me. I DO like connecting with others but I DON'T do it like this.

Rabbit. Rabbit. Rabbit. May July bring only good things! It's already started, with the drop of @allietherin.bsky.social's latest: Viscounts & Villainy, the 3rd book in her Roaring Twenties Magic series. Whee!!

Happy book birthday to @allietherin.bsky.social's Viscounts and Villainy! You can read my rave review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #romancelandia

Y'all I loved WHERE WE CONVERGE. 😍 Alternate Chicago with magic + mystery + queer romance and you can grab it FREE this weekend! 🌈📚

Highly recommend #RevPit! I participated in—I think 2017?—as a brand-new writer querying LIAR CITY. It wasn’t chosen, but it made two editors’ final rounds & they both gave personalized feedback. Such an encouraging experience & confidence booster (esp. when trying to query an unusual queer UF!).

Fantastic book at a fantastic price!

The only problem with this series is that we can’t magic book three into existence immediately!

I don't read a lot of books multiple times (there are just so many new books to read), but this one I've come back to more than once! It's such a fun read and I love these characters 💚

I absolutely adore the two books in the trilogy so far. This is an excellent deal!!!

Based on bksy recommendations I read this last week and super enjoyed it! Also great for fans of "just a little guy, but he's having the worst day" 👍

This book is SO GOOD, and now is a great time to read it if you haven't already.

LIAR CITY’s eBook is $1.99 USD & CAD at many retailers inc. Kobo & Bookshop! - Paranormal buddy cop vibes but make it bisexual - Alternate Seattle w/empaths - Mystery of the murdered senator - Book 1 in an enemies-to-lovers trilogy (romance arc over all 3 books) 🌈📚 www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/...

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Made it through the work week. 😅

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Sharing my best reads of 2024! @farrahrochon.bsky.social @kelleyarmstrong.bsky.social @kjcharleswriter.com @allietherin.bsky.social @oliviawrites.bsky.social @alihazelwood01.bsky.social

library magic came through for me today! I'd just finished Liar City & wished my hold on Twisted Shadows would come ready, cuz none of the other things I tried to read were what I really wanted at the moment, & then it did, hooray! I'm already almost halfway through it when I should be sleeping 😅

This quiz was creative, a lot of fun, AND you get a tailored book rec at the end!

As a reminder, I offer guest spots to authors wanting to talk about their #mmromance #ffromance #lgbtqromance stories on Joyfully Jay every day Mon-Fri. All you need to do is ask, and provide something original/exclusive to share (Iike an exclusive excerpt). Hit me up if interested!

I adore Lord Fine and his Danger Marshmallow!

I [32M viscount] suspect a plot to destroy magic is coming from my circles & threatening my paranormal BF [27M]. He’s certain he can handle himself—except he sacrificed his magic to save my life & it’s made him quite vulnerable & I might be a little overprotective now. A lot overprotective. AITA?

Sugar & Vice series by @allietherin.bsky.social ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A very fictional series about governmental xenophobia and the tracking, interrogating, and manipulating of citizens that it sees as dangerous and the fallout that can occur when there isn’t enough oversight. Very Very Fictional

Howdy new #BookSky friends ❤️ I’m pretty new here & can be kind of quiet online b/c LIFE but always excited to rave about books or rant about publishing. I write queer romance & urban fantasy. Booklist once comped one of my books to TWIN PEAKS, so if that might be your vibe, then hi! 💙📚 🌈📚

Once upon a time I worked a night shift job from 10pm - 7am. These days, however, I go to bed early. And tonight I’m picking up a family member at the airport at midnight and I’m already sweating how I’m going to stay awake past 10pm. 😅

Both of these are wonderful books starting wonderful series — fiercely recommend!

Both of these are outstanding, and absolutely worth picking up!

Both of these books are excellent starts to excellent series!

They're also on offer on Kobo (UK), which is where I mostly get my ebooks. :-) "Spellbound" is *wonderful*, I am v tempted to get "Liar City". :-)

Two of my series starters, LIAR CITY and SPELLBOUND, are on sale for $1.99 right now! LIAR CITY: queer urban fantasy mystery in an alternate Seattle w/empaths SPELLBOUND: queer historical romance w/magic in Prohibition-era Manhattan (overprotective WWI soldier + psychometric antiques dealer) 🌈📚

Getting ready for another book release in my other series in June (‼️), but TS has been out one month as of today! 🥳 Thank you so much to everyone who’s read these queer alternate Seattle urban fantasy mysteries full of empaths (and bad decisions). Y’all are the BEST. ❤️ allietherin.com/liar-city/

Yesterday I shared my Best of 2024 list! It includes books by @keiraandrews.bsky.social @virginiablack.bsky.social @nrwalker.bsky.social @catswrites.bsky.social @lilyauthor.bsky.social @allietherin.bsky.social K.Webster, Riley Nash, K. Ancrum joyfullyjay.com/2024/12/jays... #lgbtqromance

this series is so good and i need more people to read it and talk to me about it so that i can make it thru til we get book 3 🙏

Just placed a hold on this book at my library — looking forward to reading it!

I can neither confirm nor deny that instead of working today, I actually just say at my desk all day re-reading this book so I could start book 2 tonight 🤐 (But also this book is a DELIGHT and my dog definitely came to check on me more than once for laughing too loud at the snarky banter.)

Well, I just finished this, even though it came out yesterday and today was my most important work deadline of the year! Although now I am suffering the reader's regret of knowing the next book won't be out for a while when I need it N O W

I CAN'T WAIT for tonight to read. I love this series 😭

Y'all, this book was SOOOOOOOOOOOO good! You'd be doing yourself a favor and picking it up for yourself. My copy is in the mail somewhere *stares at mailbox, willing it to arrive ASAP*

Happy release day to this gem of a book by @allietherin.bsky.social I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC and I've been stewing in anticipation for the official release ever since! Can't wait to laugh and cry and swoon all over again about my favorite Care Bear/Zombie duo!

Hey Booksky, if queer urban fantasy w/ slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance is your thing, I have a trilogy w/Book 2 out today! Pacifist empath & stoic empath hunter must solve a murder in an alternate Seattle. Publishers Weekly called it "Spellbinding" (which is extra ☺️ if you know my backlist).

I’m nearing the end of “Wonderstruck” by the amazing @allietherin.bsky.social and it’s making me feel sad. I have enjoyed this trilogy so much and I’m really going to miss Rory and Arthur. Thank you Allie for gifting the world with these guys!! #Booksky #AllieTherin #mmromance

In the midst of my third (fourth?) re-read of Liar City by @allietherin.bsky.social before the sequel Twisted Shadows releases. Every time I read this book I fall in love with Reece, the sarcastic little Care Bear empath, and the mysterious but protective Evan. Really excited for book 2!! 😍📚
