I’m utterly broken and ashamed. I work every hour I can, but I still can’t afford my child’s meds. Watching them suffer while I fail to provide is a nightmare I can’t wake up from. Pride is gone this is survival. Please, if you can help or share, don’t scroll past a dying hope. 💔 shorturl.at/xkCUp

I dont have the immune system to attend a rally, and there are lots of valid reasons someone might to be able to go. But that doesn't mean you cant help: • calls/emails to press local officials into saying no to ICE • mutual aid/donations • spread the word, donate signs • honk when you drive past

Support freaky horror stories written and edited by 100% human hands At least. I'm pretty sure they're all human. One or two might be fae 🧐

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

A better world is struggling to be birthed, but nothing will stop it from getting here. If the shit has to be flushed out with it, so be it. Don't stop fighting for our future.

If you prefer authors who keep their mouths shut and just write their books without commenting on the shit going on in the world ... well, you took a wrong turn somewhere.

I buy 99% of my books to read on Kobo now.

My Kobo book list

All my stuff is on Kobo plus! Just sayin 👀

I love Kobo. My fantasy romance series in #KoboPlus! www.kobo.com/us/en/series...

All my books are at Kobo, but you have to search for my name and the SF&F genre to find them. Here’s one of them: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

My slightly cozy polyamorous romantasy The Harmony of Falling Snow is not only available on Kobo but it's in Kobo Plus. www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Alright, if we're all moving from Amazon, then I vote we move to Kobo. They have just about everything we need: ebooks, audiobooks, a subscription program, even their own ereaders. Can we make it happen in 2026? Authors, what books do you have in Kobo? Post your links.

Don't let your brain convince you you ain't that bitch.

10 signups so far!! I would love to hit 15 🥰 Promo materials going out on January 5th so sign up before then!

I was ready to make my top 5 books of 2025, but then I started listening to Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor, and it's really really good. 🫣

Okay Netflix....imma need those next Stranger Things episodes SAT.

Did some painting on Christmas Day Had to go gluten free years ago, but I still miss snack cakes. But there’s an allergen bakery nearby that makes amazing oatmeal cream pie dupes! And I’m slowly mastering the art of making zebra cakes at home :)

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)

Learning random things about the Navy Seals, and the scariest requirement was that you actually have to be okay at math. Not that I'd ever pass, but there goes my chance.

Just found out and bought Save the Cat Writes Horror by Jamie Nash in audio. The universe does want me to be a better writer.

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

My parents both worked min wage jobs at a burger joint in the 70s and could *buy a house.* Every time I'm reminded of just how bad actual min wage has gotten - it hasn't been tied to cost of living since late 60s - I think about what a useless concept it is anymore.

Hey friends, a local family could really use a blessing this holiday season. Anything you can donate helps, even if all you can do is share, I know they'd appreciate it.

This is true. Worldbuilding doesn't have to show up in the text to improve the work. When I wrote my Paths of Memory duology, I worked out the magic system with some fidelity. I did not share that system in the text or backmatter, nor will I explain it here. But it underlies the text, and it matters

To all my soft magic system writer pals....I know you love a soft magic system, I do too, but hear me out: Do some minor magic system worldbuilding, just a little, doesn't have to be elaborate. You'll be so glad you did, come revision time!

The problem with hoping is hurting. But that's true of not hoping too.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

The trick that is saving my cheap fast-fashion clothes...the ladder stitch. Of course, I want better quality clothes, but money is tight. Give the ladder stitch a try and make clothes last longer!

So excited, The Crimson Mouse will be coming to audio! Hoping to have it out by spring!

I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived. This should enrage and radicalize everyone. Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two. No more thoughts and prayers. It’s time to address the guns.

For audiobook fans, nothing is more disappointing than finding out a book you want to read is not in audiobook format.

Anyone got a short story to rec? *Less than 50 pages*

Happy release day to Realgar the Bright!

Author's to-do list: Restarting Stranger Things >>> Writing/revising

My debut book drops next year! First in Finnish 🇫🇮 (since I'm a Finn), and, if all goes well, later in English 🇺🇸 (sorry, my English-speaking friends 🫶). I can't share many details yet, but expect a wild, Douglas Adams–esque sci-fi humor space adventure! 🪐🌌🤖 #WritingCommunity #BookSky #WriteSky

Just finished Stranger Things S5 part 1... Aight Netflix....

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes: “All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.” More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky
