The Necromancer’s Return is off to copyedits! I get a little bit of a break and then we’ll see if this book is releasing on schedule or not 😅

I’m testing the waters with a giveaway over on Instagram! US ONLY. If it goes well, I’d love to expand to other platforms. Take a look! www.instagram.com/reel/DcBugQK...

if there's a writer you like, and you'd like to keep reading that writer's work, *you need to pay for their work*

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

The law of the sea is give and take, ebb and flow. Long ago, it took Lynnette’s brother. Now, it’s brought her a friend. Or is he an enemy? Inspired by The Little Mermaid and Redwall Abbey, What the Sea Brings is a cozy middle grade fantasy for all ages. #booksky #video

Tomorrow is Writing Admin Extravaganza Day! I have a read through to finish, emails to send, and newsletters to write!

"Rabbits were incredible creatures, far more intelligent than given credit. However, there were two instincts that even a familiar could not ignore, Danger and Food." #NecromancersReturn

Not me wincing every time I find a new spell for my translator to confirm. There are SO many spells in The Necromancer's Return 💀

“I despise grave robbing,” said the Necromancer. “Only the foulest creatures of the criminal underworld would dare disturb the dead from their rest.” “You’re a necromancer,” said Tamsyn. “Isn’t ‘disturbing the dead’ your entire thing?” “A common misconception.” #WIPSnippets

It's the week of What the Sea Brings 1-year anniversary! I can't believe that my quiet book with my Convent kids has been in the hands of readers for an entire year! I'm so thankful to everyone who has found and loved this story. If you're new, you can buy it today! bevtwomey.com/books/what-t...

I ruined my relaxing shower by getting shampoo in my sinuses and set my throat on fire 😭

Y’all. I do not have the resources, arrangements, or funds to do this. Sorry to all the folks looking for artwork commissions

i feel like if you post a negative goodreads review where you say a young adult book felt like it was written for young people, you should have to pay a fine or something.

It's been incredibly difficult to try and convince my brain to shift into Marketing Mode. I've been very lax with socials and promo in general while I focus on my book. How do promo again? How do Canva? How do 'buy my books?'

I can’t remember the exact wording but it was something regarding my family history and all their various complications “Someone didn’t do their research ahead of time.”

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

Happiest of Book Birthdays to my dear friend, Laura E. Weymouth! I read one of the earliest finished drafts last year and was blown away by the sheer brilliance of political intrigue, motherhood, romance, and deeply nuanced women GO GET IT FRIENDS! bookshop.org/a/100716/978...

Ah, I forgot that every time a new RINGS OF POWER season is coming out I have only to mention in public how much I love it for SOME DUDE I've never spoken to before in my life to tell me I must be joking

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

I need y'all to know that I audibly SCREAMED at the print page count of The Necromancer's Return...only to realize the dimensions weren't set correctly 💀

I'm thrilled to announce that I have *finally* completed my revisions (for now) of the Necromancer sequel! I can also reveal the Official Title! Get ready friends for The Necromancer's Return! This book is a CHONK with 71,300 words. That's 16k more than the original. Can't wait to share more soon

Day 4 of Banjo has no object permanence: He’s getting braver. I held him for a good long while this morning while Harley sat next to him and got scritches. He wasn’t HAPPY but he did ok

I've been poking around at this during my sick days and good gracious gravy, it's a lifesaver. There are so many features! So easy to set up! I have looked and tweaked a website and not gotten a headache within 15 minutes of messing with it!

Authors who want to flee Squarespace, I have good news! Bookbub offers author websites for $9.99 per month, currently at $4.99 for the first 6 months. All you have to do to add your books is click on them-- no adding 10 links and a photo! It was so easy. SO EASY. I feel so free.

He looks like every fantasy love interest ever and I adore him for it. Can’t wait to see my long-suffering Numenorian middle child

He looks great. Would be a shame if a pebble fell on his head

If you want to read a book and your library doesn’t have it, it is truly a massive favor to an author to request that the library acquire it. It really and truly is

Why is my cat disgruntled? His litter mate and brother, the only other cat he has ever lived with, went to the vet. He smells of vet. Thus Banjo has declared him a Stranger and has been hissing and growling ever since 🫠
