Dear writing/book event organizers. Marginalized authors can speak about topics that aren’t about marginalization. A seat at the table is pointless if we can’t also partake in the meal.

I am so happy to announce that I am now represented by Jill Marr from the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency. The joy I feel to also share an agent with writers I admire as artists and friends also fills my cup. Looking forward to the next step in my journey!

Just started The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo, and it is gripping and dark and funny. Thank you to @agathaandrews.bsky.social for introducing me to her on your podcast!

Today was a pretty spectacular day for this author. 🥰

I met @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com 11 years ago today, and it remains a favorite memory. Only 100 people had these tickets. A less macabre Willie Wonka!

Just saw this, and now I’m 😂 @imanadult.bsky.social

So, is this where the romance community landed after leaving twitter? I logged in there this week and only saw a few people out the tons I used to see before. #romancelandia

GenX icons are unmatched! 😂

Listened to this episode of @smartbitches.bsky.social on my drive to Ghoulish Book Festival. Fascinating episode with artists of old school romance book covers!

People keep telling me I am missing out over here. Am I missing out? 😆🫣

Hey #Romantasy fans! The Washington Post article by Sarah Wendell from @smartbitches.bsky.social Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is out today! www.washingtonpost.com/books/2024/0...

Love listening to the "She Wore Black" interview with Jayne Ann Krentz aka Amanda Quick about her books and gothics. And discovering she was a McCaffrey fan. @agathaandrews.bsky.social

Austinites! Come write horror with me in January! 4 week generative workshop, no experience required. Sliding scale! We're going to read horror and about horror while laying the groundwork for a larger piece. 100% of proceeds go to ABC's youth programs. austinbatcave.org/product/gene...

We could have The Graveyard Book, but instead we have nonsense.

I've watched the Disney development process close up for the last 12 years as Disney has failed to get The Graveyard Book made. I can confidently say that I do not believe the problems have ever been Not Enough Disney Executives Were Involved.

Getting ready to record with @thejessmchugh this weekend about her LITTLE WOMEN blackout poetry book, THE QUIET WAYS I DESTROY YOU. I recently recommended her books in my Patreon gift guide episode because they are lovely visual experience, as well as powerful poetry. I can’t wait for this chat!

Catch up on my November episodes with @travisbaldree.bsky.social , Sadie Hartman, and Marta McDowell while you prep your big meal this week! And stay tuned for Gigi Griffis on Friday! (Postponed a day for obvious reasons)

I have three stories eligible for Horror Writers Association Stoker Awards this year. Should you need a copy for your consideration, please let me know via the contact form on my website. Thank you so much!

Getting ready to record my PJ Harvey/Taylor Swift Patreon episode with @booksinthefreezer.bsky.social tomorrow, and saw this!

Alright @imanadult.bsky.social these are the good circus peanuts I was talking about. Don’t waste your time with inferior marshmallow peanuts😁

COMING SOON TO PATREON! I had never listened to Taylor Swift, and @booksinthefreezer.bsky.social had never listened to PJ Harvey, so we spent TWO DAYS sharing videos & spreading joy through our personal icons. We'll share this with you in December on my Patreon. 🖤 www.patreon.com/SheWoreBlack...

Apparently the Goodreads Choice Awards has an entire category for Romantasy, and not a single one was on my episode with @smartbitches.bsky.social . 😂 We did, however, offer a cool history of it with some smashing covers.

My Patreon book reviews will only be things I love. I don't feel the need to write reviews otherwise. If I don't love something, I'm not going to spend 3 paragraphs expounding on it. My entire objective for the show is to connect books to readers, not disconnect them.
