So in love with the cover of @madeleinegunhart.bsky.social's WHEN DEATH CAME TO HONEYBLOOM. Especially proud because this was the first adult deal I did as an agent and now you can't stop me!

I genuinely can’t articulate how lucky I feel to have Raff and Essa brought to life *so* beautifully by such talented folks! I think I’ll be in awe of this cover forever. I want to eat it like sorbet!!! #covereveal #booksky #romantasy #cozyfantasy

A purple gothic font reads When Death Came to Honeybloom, with the last word in a pink script font. The background is a dreamy illustrated landscape taking place at sunset, with colorful clouds, an illuminated town of quaint white buildings, and a field of purple flowers. Two main characters are in the foreground—a fat femme wielding a scythe with light skin, purple hair, and white antlers in a black dress and boots and a tall, slender light-skinned man in a light blue suit with long pink hair. They are holding hands and looking at each other, smiling. Yellow font reading “Madeleine Gunhart” is placed in the bottom center of the design.

WHEN DEATH CAME TO HONEYBLOOM, my debut cozy fantasy novel about a culler sent to wipe out a small town who must resist being charmed by the ways of mortal life (and a frustrating, handsome wizard) is now available for preorder! It’s sweet, funny, whimsical, and a lil’ spicy 😉. I hope you love it!

Just an FYI. Plymouth Van Lines is the worst. Doubled our move estimate two days before the move after we put down our deposit. Tried to double it again when they arrived. And now despite picking up our stuff in CA on 7/28, they likely won’t drop off in Nebraska until late next week. I hate this.

At long last, I can publicly shout about my brilliant husband’s new position as the Johnny Carson Assistant Professor of Storytelling in Emerging Media Arts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. (Pretty cool title!) We begin our family road trip to Nebraska this weekend. Goodbye, California!

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

When the Artemis program was first announced, the claim, all over the website, was that the landing mission (which has since been shifted from III to IV) would include "the first woman and the first person of color" to walk on the Moon. Last year, that language was deleted from the NASA site.

Let me be very clear. PAPER TOWNS is not a “controversial book.” In fact, none of the books most frequently challenged in recent memory are in any way “controversial.” The fact that these challenges come from a tiny minority of PEOPLE WHO DO NOT READ should disqualify the word “controversial.” 1/2

With the announcement of the Artemis III crew, I look forward to seeing an all-female crew for the moon landing on Artemis IV. That's how it works right? I'll still celebrate all of the work that the Artemis III crew will do, but it's a bit of a gut punch to not see a woman on the crew.
