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?

Two years ago I decided to write a werewolf priest omegaverse and somehow ended up being a better Christian than most Evangelicals. I call this the smut to salvation pipeline.
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.
There's something deeply ironic about having to do an IT security training for work when the secretary of defense accidentally looped in a journalist to his war plans on signal.
PLEASE make calls tonight for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 5calls.org
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.
If you hate it when people say romance books shouldn't be political, might I recommend my alien romance where the hero grapples with surviving an authoritarian regime 👀

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the stre...

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
Went to a show last night where the artist kept yelling at us to be louder, so I did the most punk rock thing I could think of and disobeyed by being calm and polite.
One thing about me is that I am incapable of being strategic. I will always do things entirely at random.

Choosing to release a book on April fools and on a major election day was maybe not the best call but here we are #booksky

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.
Rumeysa Ozturk, a PhD student at Tufts University, is the latest student abducted by ICE for her political beliefs. I joined @pressley.house.gov & @warren.senate.gov in demanding DHS release Rumeysa and provide answers on this disturbing trend. www.boston25news.com/news/local/d...

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.
