the quality and range of services public libraries provide relative to what they cost is nothing short of a miracle imo. But yeah, sure, “run government like a business.” 📚

This holiday season, take a moment to visit your local bookstore. It’s about more than finding a great book—it’s about supporting the small businesses that keep our communities thriving.

From an romance author perspective most of my income comes from Amazon’s kindle direct publishing and overdrive. So if you’re feeling anti-amazon support your local libraries and ask them to carry more e-romance. My print sale are like 7% of my income.

This is my periodic reminder to everybody who loses their appetite when they get stressed out to do whatever it takes to keep eating - set reminders, ask a trusted friend, whatever - because there have been years of downstream effects from my inadvertently collapsing my health in 2020 or so

Patreon is truly a blessing because, sure yes money, but also it gives me somewhere to scream about sneak peeks over stuff I can't talk about publicly. Anyways, they're getting a look at the flipthrough of the upcoming Neon Gods special edition.

Many ADHD/autistic people are made to feel unproductive when actually their hyperfocus and differences in attention means that they likely produce twice the amount of work as anyone else in a few hours then need the next few hours to rest. Output is less consistent but there.

"It's bad to leave Twitter because-" We live in a society run by weird little billionaires who would prefer we are all unhappy so we keep spending to get occasional hits of dopamine. It is okay to leave the website that makes you feel horrible. Go & be free.

Subtitles aren’t just for deaf or hard of hearing players. They’re important for players in loud environments (who can’t use headphones), non-native speakers who rely on text to follow dialogue, and many neurodivergent folks who struggle to focus or process audio quickly. Just to mention few.

I don't mean to brag but l'm a bit of a triple threat: I can make it weird when I'm talking too much, I can make it weird when I'm not talking at all, and I can even make it weird when I'm talking the appropriate amount. Look out world.

I'm actively trying to piss JKR off by making her white cishet icon of the light a Black trans woman. If I'm lucky, one day I will get an angry email from her team. And I plan on printing it out and framing it in my office.

Let's talk agents. Because a good agent is worth their weight in gold, and a bad agent is a wreck on a wreck of a toxic publisher situation. Buckle up for a thread.

Dark sexy romance “died” in trad in 2018. Couldn’t sell a project to save my life, but I knew the readers hadn’t just magically disappeared. They were reading indie books, which is where I found them again—and ended up making more money than I was traditionally in the process of finding them.
