Occasionally I remember that I have written a few books and I should tell people about them. Here’s one, in which a teenage runaway has to venture into an addictive virtual world to save her sister.

A little heavy reading today. It is horrifying how the U.S. is mimicking exactly what other regimes have done to destroy their countries. While it is on back order from Bookshop.org, you can get a copy of the ebook there! (Yes! They sell ebooks now!) bookshop.org/a/109740/978... 📚💙 #booksky

Best thing to do to keep mags we all need thriving, maybe more so than supporting them yourself, is showing a pile of friends and going, 'this is a very cool thing'. So let's show a bunch of people a very cool thing this week. This cool thing is very much worth it!

The best thing about being an artist is you can do ‘fanart’ of your own books 😂🖤

Now's the time to stock up on your banned books! Remember: - physical media is best (because unless you own the PDF/Epub, Amazon can take it from you!) - Shop local, thrift stores, used bookstores, or independent sellers - Thriftbooks is not owned by Amazon and supports independent bookstores.

Hold My Heart comes out in May. I love the vintage feel of the cover, and think both the illustration and the font match the story so well. I can't wait to hold this one in my hands. Especially putting it next to Mazi, also drawn by Claire.

I've long pondered on what my first post here should be about, and finally it hit me: let it be about Nosferatu 🎬🎥🍿 What a magnificent opera, what a glorious gothic enchanted cursed creation. I still am, and forever will be, in awe of Eggers staggering work.

I used to feel kinda bad about how they portrayed Zuckerberg in The Social Network (2010) because I thought how embarrassing it would be to be portrayed as a selfish, immature d*ckhead but now I realised that Jesse Eisenberg did a great job 😒

I would like to argue that spending hours adding pins to your WIPs Pinterest board technically counts as working on your book…right?
