Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Hey hey! I'm Michael, I write queer horror (and sci fi). My Appalachian cosmic horror novel CHILDREN OF SOLITUDE comes out in a couple of months. My first conscious efforts were a string of short stories (private eye + supernatural hijinks) I wrote in 5th grade. Fond memories! #HorrorWritersChat

Senior dog woke me at 2am demanding a drink and a cuddle. He had nameless anxiety. Same, sweet boy. Same.

Okay, Congressional Democrats. Before you send me one more fundraising email, I want to see you get this done.

Every once in a while, I need an expert's answer to "so what can we do about this terrible problem?" to be something other than "send money to me and/or this organization I support." Until we shift primary focus away from "keeping professional protest paid" to "fix this shit," we're treading water.

Rainy Saturday writing …

Did not expect to celebrate Valentine's Day by defending transgender rights to a co-worker. She's probably still in the restroom with a cool cloth on her head, bless her heart. But I'm a Christian, too, and God calls me to witness just like He does you, babe, sorry. And you brought it up.

Clearly, I have done a terrible job promoting when one of my dearest friends didn't know I released my latest? Consider me chastised. In other news, do you like urban fantasy novels in the vein of True Blood but with fairies instead of vampires, featuring cocktail magic and chaotic pansexuals?

Started my day with my beloved (he better be beloved, the little bastard) chihuahua pitbull mix darling looking me dead in the eye as he peed extravagantly into my sneaker. He NEVER does that; he's very well house-trained. So y'all be careful out there today; the vibe is ugly-weird.

I keep thinking, okay, this nitwit is a wooden puppet, follow the strings. Which are held by another nitwit. Okay, follow those strings. Hm, nitwit again. Is there a puppetmaster somewhere at the top or just a collection of nitwits playing with one another's wood?

DEI literature. I always hire myself to write my books. Why? Because I need that brown magic, that literary sofrito, that special flavor, that richness, that wonderful Otherness.

Got some solid fiction writing done this morning, and honestly, that still helps my state of mind more and with longer effect than anything else I can do. #selfcare #writerlife

I love romantasy; I write romantasy. But there is and always has been soooo much great fantasy written by women that has no romantic element whatsoever, and Juliet is right; this completely ignores that fact.

Having a respite day with the hubs. Just ate some really spicy pad ka pow (delicious!); now headed to the pottery studio to pick up the bad pottery I painted a month ago. #saturday

The thing stressing me into frenzy in the tiny circle of my personal life this morning is getting back and forth to the doctor's office to get blood tested for hypercortisolism. The irony, she burns . . .

Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

Lawsuits are fine, legislation that outlaws stuff that's already illegal is ... something, I guess. But what's happening IS illegal. So why isn't anybody asking judges to issue arrest warrants so law enforcement can go in and physically apprehend these people?

USA peeps, please figure out how to navigate the ongoing crisis/coup in a way that keeps you as healthy as possible. Do not listen to the scolds who tell you you have to rage 24hrs/day or you are complying. Pace yourself. Have a nice meal, laugh with friends, discuss a book. This will be a long haul

I'm open to queries for the first time in over a year! I'm going to follow in the footsteps of other agents and open for the first week of the month, and then close the subsequent weeks to read and review. I'm hopeful this will help me stay on top of my inbox! querytracker.net/query/kellyv...
