If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

There’s been a lot of heated discussion around KallmeKris’ YT video condemning “TikTok smut books” and fans of Dark Romance. I want to talk about how she’s using similar talking points as Book Banners she condemning explicit Romance with illustrated book covers. And I don’t think it’s an accident.

Almost at 1k followers on Bluesky! To celebrate, when I get there, I’ll be giving away a signed, personalized paperback copy of one of my books: winner gets to pick the book (and must be a follower). Reply to this post to enter!

To say I am devastated over our local Southern California fires is an understatement. I no longer have words to express my grief for my friends, family, and our communities that are going through this tragedy. To help, I am holding a fundraiser for Pasadena Humane. Please see below⬇️

A huge thank you to @byrdwrites.bsky.social for her amazing book recommendations. I began 2025 reading Bloom Town Genesis/Exodus by Ally North and it is absolutely incredible! We aren’t even one week into the new year but I think it unlikely I will find a book I like better. Thanks Ally & Carrie!!

Merry Weihnachten by @zgrokit.bsky.social (shown here in the wilds in St Nicklaus’s sleigh) is officially my last read of the year. What a great way to wrap up the holiday season and the year. Wishing everyone a 2025 filled with much love, much laughter and more kindness.

Once again I am truly grateful for authors who recommend other authors. So thanks to @jenlyonauthor.bsky.social for mentioning “The Piano in the Tree” by @johavens.bsky.social. It was one of the best of the year for me….a book I just wanted to linger with. So so good!!

Just wanted to give a huge thank you to @acarynm10.bsky.social for her recommendation of @rebeccayarros.bsky.social books Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. Fantastic reads!!! I have already preordered Onyx Flame. I did not read them on a plane 😊. I still don’t want to think about “It’s been my honour”. 😢

The absolute fucking arrogance of this is infuriating. Trump suggests Canada become 51st state during tariff discussion with Trudeau: Source - MSNBC
