I have read this book you are not ready 🔥🔥🔥

I’m actually having a lot of fun with these epigraphs so far. 13 left to write!

✨🌕 COVER REVEAL 🌕✨ Calling this cover magical feels too on the nose, but isn't it gorgeous? Illustration by Imogen Oh with art direction by Tara Scarcello. I am over the moon (sorry not sorry). @htpbooks.bsky.social @bradfordagents.bsky.social #HigherMagic #2025Debuts #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Oh yes, Homer’s famous “Tes Thdpssssps.” 👍🏻

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

First pass at line edits is done! Next up: writing all the epigraphs, and then doing a kindle read through 💪

5 chapters left to go and then I can start my read through ✨

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

I love how my YA book is shaping up to be the most complicated thing I’ve ever written and it’s only 80k words 😅

Bookplate anyone?! If you’ve preordered SAL, I’d love to send you a matching bookplate 🥰 Fill out the form at: bit.ly/SALVACIONpreorders I might have additional swag, but for sure you’ll receive a bookplate and some bookish stickers. And I’ll also be announcing partnerships with Indie’s soon!

So I guess this book is getting epigraphs now… this should be fun!

I’m super fond of my weird forbidden nectar/transformation short story “The Sweetness We Can’t Live Without” published in this anthology www.amazon.com/Exquisite-Po...

Book your free ticket(s) for this amazing fairytale & disability symposium! I'm going to be on my post-surgery sickbed, but you can still catch a recording of my presentation on the day, called 'Dead, Dreadful, Dangerous: Disabled Roles in Fairytails' 🥰 disabledtales.co.uk/programme.html

I apparently have learned nothing from purchasing a walking pad I have no room to set up because now I am looking at ddr pads online

FYI, Amazon will no longer enable the downloading of ebooks to exterior devices starting February 26th. Here’s a tutorial on how to download your ebooks off of Amazon. You can use Calibre (free software) to reformat the kindle books to be used on other devices. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2DQuRqn/

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Every time someone compares my writing to a piece of media I loved as a kid, I become increasingly convinced I’m just a collection of my favorite childhood books in a trench coat

It's Valentine's Day, so let's talk about sex. Eel sex! Well...we can't, really. We don't know exactly where, or how, eels get busy. It's a 2000+ year old puzzle. It's not like we haven't tried. But the sex life of eels is a mystery smothered in secret sauce. 1/5 🗃️🧪

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

Somebody needs to stop me from requesting more NetGalley arcs for awhile because I may have a slight problem 😅

Sometime last night I apparently grabbed my phone and added “thing banging on wall” to my to do list, and while I do actually know what this means it was a very funny thing to see when I opened the app today

Bonus epilogue is finished and edited! Perfect timing since I just got agent notes on my YA project this morning ✨
