💙🌈❄️ romance writer masculinity historian left-leaning starcrossedlibrary.com THE BIBLIOPHILE AND THE BEEKEEPER OUT NOW! 🐝

Turns out writing a dissertation, keeping a publishing schedule, living through a fascist takeover and...oh, finding out you're having a kid? Hard to keep up with. What's new, Romancelandia?

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Galactic Librarians book 2 is now with my wonderful beta readers! It's been a fucking week...but these little books bring me so much solace and joy. Because yeah they're romances, but they're also stories about love *after* cataclysm. After authoritarianism and climate collapse. After war.

If you're more concerned about Emily Rath than the fact that our government is sending innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU BABE. VERY WRONG.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat: "The speed and scale of what's happening in this country doesn't have a parallel even in the early months of the autocrats we know and do not love today ... this is somebody in partnership with Putin."

Imagine your roommate just invited her psychotic ex to come and live in your house against your will. Now he's locking all the doors and none of your friends want to come over because he's an asshole. Kinda what it's like to be a sane American right now.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

Dissonance is trying to promote an alien romance bc you still have to make a living while a Nazi Karen poses in front of prisoners in a gulag and your government pulls political enemies off the streets to be incarcerated.

When your alien boyfriend reads romance bc he's trying to figure out how to woo you... JUST FOUR MORE DAYS until I get to share my book baby with y'all! AHHH.

Yes, it’s an alien romance. Yes, there’s psychic sex. Yes, he reads naked. But also? This is a story about empire and memory. About the archives we inherit—and the ones we try to rebuild. The Alien in the Archive launches April 1st. I hope you love it 🖤✨

Currently in dev for a book with a genderfluid character and thinking about how frequently we see genderfluid folks in "weird" romance (PNR, SFR, monster), how often the "other" in the dynamic is the genderfluid one, and what that means.
