Back to the backlist! 20. IF THE BOOT FITS. A Cinderella retelling with a cowboy turned actor and an assistant who might be fibbing about her real job. A one night stand, a missing Oscar statue, and a chance reunion at the ranch. Writing a plus size contemp Cinderella was pretty amazing for me.

It’s becoming more and more apparent that white people are waiting for Black people or AOC by herself, to save the country. We tried 2014-2020 and we got Black squares. It’s your turn. You have to go tackle Elon. We can’t do it for you.

Super fun and well written traditional mystery -- How to Solve Your Own Murder by @kristenperrin.bsky.social. I really enjoyed this one. #booksky #authorsofbluesky #mystery #crimefiction

Watching agencies jump to interpret "end DEI policies" as "scrub all evidence of female and POC contributors to the field" makes me wonder how quickly y'all would throw me (or anyone) under the bus, and how far you'd throw me, to appease what you thought an authority figure might want. 🤔

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

The theme of this year appears to be Dusting Off Old Things. I picked up my guitar after a very long period of not playing, added an electric one, and oh, look, here's my decorative uke, Kelly, ready for action. #authorsofbluesky #ukulele #strings

In all her glory! Several coats of Danish oil to bring out the gorgeous grain, plus a coat of furniture wax for protection. Waiting on the mini amp I ordered then we'll let her sing! Her name is Tilly, short for TillyCaster.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I start with an outline, but reevaluate after every 10K. Am in the final 1/4 of the book, now, and have made a Book Bible, detailing clues, beats, red herrings, etc. Thrilled to be on the right track. Now to Get It Done. (I know the process is backward. It's how I roll.) #booksky #authorsofbsky

"Air pollution from animal farms is linked to almost eight times more premature deaths than coal-fired power plants." The animal ag industry gets away with such a massive amount of pollution that doesn't get anywhere near the attention it should.

Eowyn may have shut the country down, but she's also given me an opportunity to start a new project. Good think I have a woodworking expert to advise me on the finish.

Book Rec: The Hunter by Tana French @tanafrench.bsky.social. A slow-burn mystery set in a small Irish town. Exquisite characterisation, gorgeous prose, and an incredibly satisfying conclusion. #booksky #mystery #crimefiction

So I've been dogless now for two weeks. One of the unexpected effects is having to make time to get in the 10K steps that used to be built in to 4-5 daily dog walks. A taxi driver once told me he gained 7 pounds after his dog passed. I wonder if the cat would like to try out a leash?

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Jean Utley. When I met Jean, she was the manager of the Book ‘Em Mystery Bookstore in South Pasadena. Generous of time and spirit, she was a good friend to writers and a true lover of books. Rest well, Jean. We love and will remember you.

A year ago today, I became a UK citizen. There have, of course, been a few bumps along the way, as one would expect, but Scotland has welcomed me and my family with open arms, and I try daily to pay it both back and forward.

Sadly out of print (you can still find a few hard copies on AMZ), but one of the best anthologies Elm Books ever put out, and my personal favourite. I'm very proud of this one. #authorsofbluesky #booksky
