8) Where Fire Reigns by Jared Pechaček (Feb) I was on the panel that gave the Crawford to Pechaček's 1st book so of course I'm looking forward to his next. It sounds great; appropriately weird & compelling (tho the weird => plot ratio seems slightly more calibrated to plot than The West Passage)

for no reason whatsoever, I am bringing out my favorite 12th-century illumination today, which depicts 1) a Thracesian woman killing a Varangian Guard who tried to assault her and 2) his comrades praising her and giving her all of his stuff for her very understandable and justifiable actions 🙏

a scene from an illuminated manuscript by John Skylitzes in which a woman is stabbing a man with a spear in the first panel. In the second panel, a group of men are handing over various things to the woman who stabbed said man in the previous panel

I wrote a new adult romance about an incredibly bisexual, chicano, Crocs-wearing soccer goalkeeper who falls for his philosophy classmate after kissing him at his first college party and finds the courage to fight for himself, his dreams, his greatness, and the guy he’s falling in love with 💙🍍⚽️

Ya'll, I just finished Heated Rivalry, and it was so good! If you enjoyed it, too, I highly recommend checking out Icebreaker by A.L. Graziadei, which is a YA/NA about rival hockey players with all the yearning, banter, and emotional complexity you want! <3 bookshop.org/p/books/iceb...

Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead. They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone. ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them. Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

You know it's January as a literary agent when your inbox is "New Ideas" "A New Book Idea" "A New Book" all in a row. <3 I do love this part. The excitement of opening a new idea from a client and going YES!

"Rejection is redirection, so never give up. And you know, it's never too late to shine like you were born to be." As said by EJAE, singer, songwriter, and Rumi's singing voice for KPOP Demon Hunters during her Golden Globe acceptance speech for winning Best Song.

I've reached out to two 80's hardcore punk bands for lyrics licensing requests through their labels, telling them about #KeepingTime and my budget. Both times, the guys came back with, "nah go ahead, use it for free." Punk's not dead. In fact, they're still out there, being radically kind.

Hi Kody -- It's (REDACTED)--AT sent your note to me. As long as you credit me (us) for the song (which it sounds like you are), you're free to use the lyrics and reference and anything else. No need to pay me, just so long as: A. You send me a link to the comic when it's done and B. You come to one of my shows in Seattle this year and introduce yourself (since I live in Seattle and play pretty regularly around).
