PEOPLE MATTER MORE THAN CORPORATIONS.

@seandevine9.bsky.social We're allowed to be upset at this point, right? This is the second time in two weeks on a beautiful day we have lost power in our neighbourhood. If this is another "provincial" matter, we need to know where our power is being funnelled instead.

I just launched my new website and to celebrate, you get discounts! www.kristawalshauthor.com #booksky

Hey #Ottawa what are you doing today? If you need your geek fix, make sure you head to the Kanata Sensplex to check out the Geek Haul! Free entry from 10-4!

8 hours to go on the beautiful edition of my rivals to lovers dragon shifter romantasy!! 🌹 Dragon shifter x earth/fire mage 🔥 Rivals to lovers 🌹 One-night stand 🔥 Accidental mate bond 🌹 Heist 🔥 Semi-public 🌶️ 🌹 One-upmanship as love language #romantasy #booksky

I just finished me reread of Howl of the Fettered Wolf, first time I've read it since it was published in 2016. It was such a fun read! In it, I see all the origins of my current style, as well as some first attempts at tropes I played with in more detail in later books.

One week left!!!!!! #booksky #romantasy

I want to apologize for this May cold snap. It seems that 2 years in a row, the midway point of my Kickstarter campaign triggers one. Please stay warm.

I'll be in Brokenwood (aka Warkworth) next Wednesday (May 13) with a fantastic set of fellow mystery authors for a lively panel discussion on the craft of murder and mayhem. Come along and join us!

If you are as angry as I am that Canadian-owned snack food companies are sending their product to me AGAINST MY WILL... Here is a list of the delicious offenders at snacks.todmaffin.com so that you can find them online, and learn where they're sold, so that you can express your displeasure too.

If you have concerns about what's behind the UCP/Alberta Separatist Movement, here's a petition you can sign to request a federal investigation be opened: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #canada

So Amazon is convinced that they have to price match a sale for my book and discount it. That would make sense if the sale existed. So while I fight with them about this, feel free to take advantage of this unexpected sale. 🫠 Or just go listen/read for free on Kobo Plus. 📚💙 a.co/d/0c2wOPEc

Authors who are making Patreon work for them: what are you offering?

Norovirus has landed chez nous. Nooooooooo

Even quislings have their fave songs. I'd boycott this one. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

After a bit of looking around, this seems to be a good place to support the folks of MN. Lots of great organizations and causes here doing their best to support people. I dont have a lot to give right now, but small donations and word of mouth adds up. 🔗 www.standwithminnesota.com

Reason infinity my hubs is amazing. He accepts my anxiety, so before he causes any big noise (prat falls with our kid, tossing the laundry hamper down the stairs), he always shouts "this is me!" Or "I'm okay" And that is love.

Not to brag, but I'm getting pretty good at 5-strand braids

So I'm reading this book. Enemies to lovers. Cool. Love that trope! But he keeps betraying her, and she just keeps accepting it, and I am about to throw my phone. GET MAD! MAKE HIM GROVEL!

I painted this illustration for author Lindsey Hart 's upcoming book " The Thorns We Inherit" and let me tell you, I enjoyed my time on this painting 🥺

A status update for the second Rogues of Golthwaine book! You can follow the Kickstarter at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kri... #booksky #romantasy

Half an hour on the phone with the CRA. Been transferred twice, been on hold for half of that. But no, please, let's let go of *more* federal staff

Pretty sure the math is right here. Rounding for Home is available now, but the new cover will be available for Kickstarter backers first, along with early copies of Triple Play. Follow the campaign to be notified when it goes live. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fal... #booksky #kickstarter 🌈 📚

Oh, wow!! Thank you for the nomination for the BSFA awards longlist!! www.bsfa.co.uk/bsfa-awards-...

The work on the A Relic Cloaked in Thorns cover is supposed to begin next week, and I cannot wait to see what JV Art comes up with!!
