Off to Boozy Book Fest in Kansas City wearing my new favorite shirt!

if you’re not committed in defense of everyone’s rights to erotic expression, pleasure, and desire, as a part of life and art that’s valuable and vital to thriving for so many (especially queer) people… you’re not my colleague or ally. And you need to catch the fuck up real quick.

So...I wrote a release day blog post (finally) and uh, it might not be what you were expecting but I'm kind of Going Through It over here right now, so here goes nothing. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/getting...

Getting Naked on Main: It Was Her House First — The Haunt*

I’m not gonna lie: I’ve been putting this off. It’s not like I didn’t know I had a book coming out today, and it’s not that I had better things to do with my time than tell you, the reading public, ab...

I swear the only way I start writing a book is by deluding myself into believing that this time it will be easier because OBVIOUSLY I know more now…

So thrilled to see the paperback of THE GODS BELOW featured in The Boston Globe's list of 25 hot new paperbacks to dive into this summer! I'm writing the conclusion of this trilogy now (time is funny when you're an author) and can't wait to share the complete story.

We stopped watching Outlander because John couldn't believe that Claire wanted to return to Frank after Jamie. Him: "He's as boring as a plain bowl of oatmeal" and "She's going through so much effort. If he were at the top of the stairs and I were at the bottom, I wouldn't even climb the steps."

After a devastating battle, a reluctant rebel is forced to work with a dangerous enemy to save their world. In the mood for a book about found family, fighting technofascism, and second chances? There are 100 free copies of The King Must Die available on GR: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Your regular reminder that if you have two cats, one is a wicked smart villain and the other has zero thoughts.

"did you finish that Abraham Lincoln statue for the courthouse?" "yessir and I made him real fuckin sexy like an underwear model just like you wanted." "....what"

Mistborn meets Hannibal, folks. This is so imaginative, dark, and just excellent!

Had an amazing weekend at Columbus Book Festival!! It was so well-organized, with 40K+ people wandering in and around the library. The bookstore sold out of THE GODS BELOW and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER on day 1. I got to meet so many incredible authors in person, and to hang out with old friends ❤️

This is how my country has treated the Middle East for my entire life. Expressing sorrow feels too shallow. But in this moment, all I can say is that I'm sickened for those killed and hurt.

I met my cousin’s baby last night and she is SO cute!!! I also met my cousin’s dog, an American Eskimo, and I’m in love?? She sat in my lap. She put her head on my shoulder. She was soft and gave my arm a lick every few minutes 🥺
