I haven’t posted here in like a thousand years, but hello again! I’ve mostly been hanging out on Threads, but I know a lot of people stick to just this platform too, so I wanted to share that I have a new book coming out next year! In a new genre under a new name! And I can’t wait to share it 🥰

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

In light of the many challenges marginalized authors already face in publishing—challenges we all expect to escalate under a fascist administration—I want to talk about Literary Agents of Change, and our fundraiser to improve access for agents, authors, and readers alike 🧵 givebutter.com/vE35C9

Solved a fake murder in a box this morning, so naturally I’m feeling like I just did something important. Will reward myself with pie 🥧

ICYMI, here is the cover for my next YA book, A SPELL TO WAKE THE DEAD! It was illustrated by Corina Nika and designed by Kristin Boyle. It's about two witchy teens who accidentally summon a vengeful spirit while trying to solve a murder case, and it comes out 8/26/25 from Putnam/Penguin Teen.

An Open Letter to our Publishers has been sent to over 90 Publishing CEOs this morning in response to the concerns of our members. 1/4

This picture smells like Axe body spray and unwashed sheets. If I sat next to any one of these guys at a bar, I’d place my hand over my drink

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Tonight @kellyohlert.bsky.social let me know my books are on a Michigan romance authors puzzle, and as someone OBSESSED with puzzles (It’s a solid 1/3 of my personality, as pictured below), this is a dream I never knew to wish for. This is literally more meaningful to me than a bookish tattoo 🥺

Repost with one of your favorite books you’ve read this year

Repost with one of your favourite books you've read this year! (it's out next year, add it to your tbr piles)

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report. Just fyi

reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything” pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat

Yell In a War@jelenawoehr.bsky.social · 2y ago

the 278 unbelievable things happening per day are a planned emotional DDOS attack; the shitbirds are counting on you perpetually being too glued to the latest thing to do anything about the previous thing suggestion: pick one action to take per week, in advance, and do it no matter what news breaks

I have been personally victimized by this statement

Top 5 Favorite Christmas Movies 1. The Mistletones 2. Love Hard 3. The 12 Dates of Christmas 4. EXmas 5. The Spirit of Christmas

This is how I plan to head into 2025, moisturized and unbothered

For our (FREE) December writing classes, I kinda felt like we'd need some self care themed ones for December... Find them all at www.ocls.org/writerscorner and remember that the library card field can be left blank. @pageturnerlit.bsky.social @ginnymyerssain.bsky.social @deanalisenby.bsky.social

My last release was an anti-capitalist romcom called RENT TO BE (original title: Avocado Toast) about a woman who starts a house sitting business bc she can’t afford rent and student loans and fake dates her brother’s BFF to keep it a secret from her judgmental, right wing family a.co/d/cpInaRr

#Caturday

Everything is on fire, so I bought this yesterday. Grab joy where you can

Flipping between Golden Girls reruns and The Haidmaid’s Tale, in case anyone is wondering where my mood’s at this week

I deleted my Twitter a year and a half ago, but kind of wish I’d waited until this week because being part of the mass exodus this week specifically would’ve been so much more satisfying

Today’s Christmas movie is A Holiday Heist with Lacey Chabert. I’ve never seen this one before! It looks a few years old, but it seems less earnest and sugary and more ridiculous, which is 100% my jam. Hoping it’s good 🤞

I’m one week post op and feeling twitchy because I haven’t done anything but rest and take care of myself. Capitalism has completely messed up my brain. I have five weeks left to deprogram as best as I can 🙃

My daughter took this picture of our cat this week and I think it needs to be shared

It appears I’m here too! Intro? I’m Sonia, I’ve published YA, romcoms, and PNR, and I’m currently moving toward mystery under a pen name. My last release was RENT TO BE from Alcove Press. I read A LOT, have an obscene puzzle addiction, and live for Christmas movie season. Hello 🥰
