So uh I've been staying up really late the last week to take care of my dog after his big surgery. And. I decided to make some graphics to advertise my book last night. You can literally see my descent into sleep deprivation πŸ˜‚ (cozyote.com#unburythebones just in case any of these actually work)

One of the cozy stickers currently in my little shop rn <3 this incredible photo was NOT taken by me because I am still learning photography!! I got help from a friend and honestly I just like staring at it XD shop.cozyote.com

Obvi we all know that AI "art" is BS. But just in case: Unlike AI "artists," indie authors don't need a computer to write for them. Much like how artists don't need a computer to make art for them. This person has been using #cozyfantasy to peddle their plagiarism. Block 'em if you see 'em.

i know promoting your own book is super hard--making graphics and writing copy, trying to condense a novel into a legible pitch--but as a reader it really helps me make decisions!! for example if you use AI to promote your book, I decide that you're my enemy πŸ˜ƒ

as always, shop indie!!!!! support your local bookstores bc you better believe they are supporting you ❀️

Y'know sometimes I worry that someone bigoted will read Coffee, Milk & Spider Silk and assume that I'm also bigoted because there's no trans characters in there. So just to be clear: Gwen says trans rights. Jax says trans rights. Mellie says trans rights (and fuck JK). Olympia says trans rights.

The Trans Guide to Mental Health and Well-Being is 3 years old this week! It’s been a real adventure. My hope is that my book has helped trans and/or non-binary people to live good lives. If you’ve read the book, now is an excellent time to share it with others and let people know if you liked it!

Today in #LaborHistory 4/25/1993: >1 million marched in Washington, D.C., for #LGBTQ rights. Demands: repeal sodomy laws, funding for #AIDS, right to adopt, end #discrimination for ALL people, incl #POC, people with disabilities, women, nonbinary & trans people, and #workingclass & poor people.

Wednesday's bird expedition in Iowa afforded me the perfect #Flyday #Birds photo. We went chasing after seeing repeated reports of White-Faced Ibis in a few places in Iowa. We found about 13-15 in Runnells Bottom, and made several jokes about the location name. Zoom in to see the colors.

I'm really grateful for everyone who's been so supportive of my move onto itch.io - friends who've helped me get set up, readers who've tipped generously and left wonderfully kind comments, all of you. It's really reassuring to know that we're all here in bookish community, ready to uplift πŸ’™πŸ“š

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about THE IRON BELOW REMEMBERS by Sharang Biswas. The novella is a charmingly ribald celebration of queer masculinity, archeology, superscience, and strange magic; I was captivated. Our drink, Lochal, is midway between a gimlet and a lassi.

It's amazing how Amazon finds a new way to be hostile toward authors like every other week.

β€œA day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine.” There’s plenty of sunshine to add to your shelves, so let’s celebrate women loving women & non-binary folk the best way we know how: with a book, or two, or hundred. Happy Lesbian Visibility! www.swordsandsapphics.com/post/books-t...

I now have an itch.io page! And I am humbly recommending that you start with my book Unbury the Bones as it is free (and hella gay) <3 πŸŒˆπŸ“š cozyote.itch.io

It's a very fun book and if you enjoyed the way BAKER THIEF followed romance structures but platonic, you'll want to pick it up!!
