I always kind of assumed that @midnightpals.bsky.social was exaggerating about Piers Anthony for comic effect, and then I was scrolling through some ebook deals and saw this: www.amazon.com/Color-Her-Pa...

Get on this deal before it’s gone!

I don't care about the answer to this, I just want it to go viral enough so we can get some videos of people trying.

Out today! SHE HAD ENOUGH is set in San Francisco after a major earthquake, which I can confirm has not actually happened.

Happy book bday, @staciegrey.bsky.social! SHE HAD ENOUGH is out today from @sourcebooks.bsky.social. Set in San Francisco—my old stomping grounds—this was such fun to perform! Smart, fast, fun—go get it! @audiofilemagazine.bsky.social "Six friends. One dinner. And a secret that won't stay buried.”

Thanks to the spam call I just ignored, I now know there's a place called "Coarsegold, California."

During my own disastrous (but murder-free) cross country train trip, several people suggested it would make a good book, but I suspect it would be more like this. (I do want to point out, though, that that's a BART train, not Amtrak. BART does not run cross-country routes.)

This short excerpt from my 1999 novel, The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove: Mavis helped the man to a bar stool. “Get her out of here,” Mavis said. “She’s eighty-sixed. This time forever.” Theo kept his eyes locked on Molly’s. “Are you okay?”

The Maltese Falcon, and I'd also erase the part where my dad told me who the killer was as I was leaving to go see it.

If you could entirely erase your knowledge of a film and watch it as if for the first time, which would you choose that isn’t Psycho?

Hayward-adjacent people! Next Saturday I'm going to be joining other members of MWA NorCal Chapter for the Hayward Lit Hop, reading from my new book at the Odd Fellows Lodge from 5-6 pm. I'd love to see you there! www.haywardlithop.com

Told my husband I was already leaning toward Katie Porter for governor but almost slipped and said Katy Perry. He thinks Justin Trudeau would make a good first gentleman of California.

When it happens, we're going to find out via insider bets placed on prediction markets, aren't we?

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Yes, I wouldn’t doubt that you could train AI to make plausible ersatz Cormac McCarthy that would fool most readers. But if you gave AI the sum of human literature up until McCarthy’s first novel, it would never spontaneously create his style.

A neat thing about Experian is that you can unsubscribe from their alerts and then a while later they're like, "but did you really?" and start sending them to you again.
