The Trump administration fired Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla D. Hayden as part of their sweeping book ban efforts. One of the titles removed? Freckleface Strawberry, a children’s book about self-acceptance. Seriously, who gets offended by that?

Excellent questions to sit with.

It's also terrifying for LGBTQ+ and other marginalized folks who are often excluded from trad publishing & are likely to see that exclusion worsen due to fascism So please, please support indie books! Many of us sell them on Kobo, Smashwords, Itch, and other non-Amazon marketplaces! 3/3

"It used to irritate me when people thought they knew something about me based on which New Jersey Turnpike exit was nearest to where I grew up."

Well, happy Caturday from Lynx and I! #Caturday

Some good news.

There's a lot to distract us now & rightfully so. Still, in the midst of chaos, I need to continue to create. The launch for Flashes of a Dying Hour the 2nd book in my menopause as a superpower mystery series is in March & I'd love your support. Buy me a coffee (or 10)! 😃 buymeacoffee.com/lyndaallen

<3 Thanks, Nita!

How different would the world be if instead of “if it bleeds it leads” the driving force of media coverage was “if it feeds it leads.” What if that had been the focus all along, sharing stories that feed and inspire? Not giving in to the forces that seek to divide through fear and othering.

Well done.

From my weekly inspirational essay this morning.

the majority of my ebooks are still on sale! repost to help me get a few more sales before the end of the month? 💪🤍 linktr.ee/rjcrunden
