FIELD GUIDE FOR THE FORMERLY VILLAINOUS is available to read for the first time ever and I am so hyped! I love this cozy, cottagequeer D&D-meets-Stardew Valley book more than anything I've ever written. If you don't have an Edelweiss account, don't worry, it'll be coming to NetGalley in January.

The cover of a book sits on a textured purple background. The cover is largely blocked by large black bars, though bits of leaves, crystals, mushrooms, a cabin, and a dog peek out. The name Autumn K. England sits at the bottom. Inside the black bars is the text: "Now on Edelweiss! Cover reveal 1/10/26"

I have a story in this one! I hope you'll pick up a copy and check it out. A wonderful collection of stories overall, written with so much love for TTRPGs and queerness.

This is How We Roll is OUT NOW!! I may not have my hardcover copies yet, but you can venture forth into the world and buy one for yourself! These twelve stories are all directly from the heart, and I’m so proud of all the hard work everyone put into this project. I can't wait for y'all to read it!

Throwback to that time I got my very first book review in the NYT for my adult romance debut ALL FIRED UP and it was glowing and I cried a lot 😭 Also: Social media hiatus until 2026. If you want to hear from me, I send infrequent newsletters and reply to comments there! mkengland.com/newsletter

This month’s #RomanceColumn: a mind-controlled supersoldier and engineer trapped on a prison planet; a blacksmith and a merman on Coney Island; a sapphic firefighter and fire safety scientist; and a Black historical at Versailles! #Romancelandia 💙📚 (Gift link)

I still don't even know what to do with my face after this incredible review. This was an author first for me and really turned around a rough week!

I wrote Pride Puppy and @whatwouldjuliedraw.bsky.social illustrated. We know exactly what it does (and does not!) include. So when Neil Gorsuch started talking about bondage and sex work, while claiming he'd read our book, we knew he was lying. Thanks to @jaywillis.net for this incredible piece.

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · last yr.

I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:

Thank you so much for a wonderful ROLL FOR LOVE launch week, everyone! If you've reviewed the book on storygraph/GR, I would so appreciate it if you could move that review over to retailers. People (rightly!) need proof that a book doesn't suck before laying their hard-earned dollars down for it. 💜

Don’t change your subject headings. There is no library jail. Keep using the real names not these fake ones. Obeying in advance is worse than those doing the change because when you obey with soenthing that is clearly wrong you are putting false information into official “fact” places.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@aoc.bsky.social · last yr.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Hey librarians, are you getting requests for Dungeons & Dragons-related fiction from your readers? Can I interest you in ROLL FOR LOVE, whose gorgeous cover is sure to grab them? And it's a JLG selection, so it should meet your collection development guidelines! I do free book club visits too ✌️

The cover of the book ROLL FOR LOVE, which features two teenage white girls on the bottom playing dungeons & dragons while making blushing eye contact, while above their D&D characters kiss in the fantasy world of the game. The title splits the two worlds. The Junior Library Guild gold standard seal is in the top corner of the graphic, and below it reads: "Roll for Love is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection."
