Writers, feel my pain! Why aren't there more good synonyms for "laughed"? Like "giggled," "chuckled," "chortled," "guffawed"--these all have extremely specific use cases that usually aren't right.

While ferociously swordfighting a neighbor child, my 8yo called him a "rapscallion," a "miscreant," and a "dishonorable rogue." I'm amused and delighted.

Prince Beauregard would never have a fully charged phone. Elias definitely has Life360 set up to track his disaster bi. A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson #booksky

Over a thousand copies of my debut novel A King's Trust were bought or downloaded in its first month out, and I want to CELEBRATE! This book is a love story to AuDHDers w/ no idea what's going on half the time who still deserve the world bc I KNOW we can make great leaders. (1/3) #booksky

Elias Batesian, the man that you are. A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson #booksky

Better believe that drama fueled four entire loads of laundry. Get you some imagination-fuel INTRIGUE in A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson.

Writer mama may be enabling little storytellers-in-training. Nothing brings joy like hearing a dozen neighborhood kids live-negotiating a story in my living room lol #writersky

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

See, the problem with creating three gorgeous fictional people is that I can just sit here bi panicking about them all freakin day instead of writing their sequel #booksky

I post ONE video with the P&P 2005 hand flex & suddenly my FYP on every platform is nothing but thirst trap edits of Matthew Macfadyen's Darcy. Am I irritated about it?? ...nah, that tall glass of autistic-coded silence can block the breaking news with his lil cravat and 10,000 a year any day.

If you're not using your maladaptive daydreaming to romanticize your chores, what are you even doing? Join me in this delusion: it's published in A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson, a poly romantasy with a KILLER found family. #booksky

If you yearn for YEARNING, read the book Independent Book Review called, "Tantalizing & dripping with tension—a slow-burn romantasy that explodes when things get hot," & readers called, "If you don't let them f*^xing KISS I'm gonna lose my—oh, there it is, OH GOD!" A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson

My friends I just finished reading this MINUTES ago and I am FERAL FOR IT I do actually need everyone to go grab a copy IMMEDIATELY

In this corner: Lady Penamour, duchess by cunning and force of will. She's a ferocious politician, a fierce defender of justice, and the staunch enemy of our dear Prince Beauregard. Love banter? See her verbally duke it out with Beau in A King's Trust: buff.ly/jf8NeI7 #booksky

My feed is (understandably and on purpose) all political news and activism, so I was both surprised and very grateful for bunnies to grace it. Needed a lil bun snuggle in my afternoon.

Who doesn't love a "touch him and die" bodyguard love interest??? A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson MMF poly fantasy romance www.amazon.com/Kings-Trust-...

Saw a random 4x increase in book sales yesterday. Quick, what the f*ck did I do yesterday??

So anyway I'm really hoping to dig into my TBR soon. I'm already sure The Final Strife is going to be a five-star read if I can ever find the peace and quiet (quaaludes?) to read! #booksky

For A King's Trust, I shared a writing playlist as part of my PR boxes. I'm not sure how to tell people the writing soundtrack for the sequel is "feral 7-11yo friends of my son's screaming over each other as they play Gang Beasts & god forbid I add music to this overstimulation" #booksky

For F&C^'S SAKE please

Tried to film a dramatic video. Husband walked in, saw sad face & immediately began Cheer-Up Protocol™. He threw a nerf dart, offered a drink, offered to turn the internet off, brought a different drink, then simply picked me up and rattled me about. Can't even pretend to be sad in this house lmao

I promise there's not someone holding me at 🔪-point off screen, but it certainly feels that way sometimes. Help me out: Read A King's Trust by S.E. McPherson, my poly MMF slow-burn romantasy, and for the love of all things holy, please tell other people about it so I don't have to. #booksky

I LOVE fantasy, but the world's got me so damn scattered that every time I try to start a new series, I zone out three pages in and ultimately open an AO3 tab for some trusty fan fic. Anybody else?? #booksky

"How do you want your readers to feel when they finish the book?" "Emotionally devastated, satisfied, and already missing the characters like friends who just left the room." #booksky

News: Tariffs will significantly increase the cost of manufacturing books Me: *nervously looks at the $0.41 margin on my books* #booksky

Spoons the characters of A King's Trust would use (and no, you don't have to tell me to get that autism assessment, I already know). #booksky

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.
