I guess folks are sick of hearing about the invasion of my city, especially as some tiny symbolic concessions have been made and the lawmakers might kind of talk about giving the invaders slightly less money. But it's still happening. We are still invaded. They are still abducting my neighbors.

Happy Book Birthday to @collinsauthors.bsky.social! I was lucky enough to have a sneak peek at this book and it's a fantasy lover's dream sequel! If you haven't read their first book yet, now you can have both!

To those of you who walked in darkness, and the ones who showed us that we are not alone.
To those who ever felt trapped or helpless, yet refused to give in.
To those who need to heal.
To the helpers.
This story is for you.

“The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger and more just." It’s well worth watching the @mark-carney.bsky.social address in its entirety.

So honored to share that It’s All In Your Head got a Kirkus Starred Review!! ⭐️
![The full excerpt: “[A]n extremely slow burn that pays off exponentially. The sex is super hot. Because Skylar and Pike learn early to communicate about pain and limitations, they’re great communicators by the time they do eventually hook up, which makes for some steamy dirty talk. Together they learn that while chronic illness comes with restrictions, their desire for one another does not. A strong debut about characters who meet
in the pause between pain and hope.”
This one features pike from my cover standing with his cane leaning against the excerpt and a pair of his goggles. At the bottom it says it’s all in your head is out February 10](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kchkca3hszkdxbn6vn276xl6/bafkreialh6qm6zxfglkn7xjn7b3kfkysgkbljj5imedba6xwxzxrsudahm@jpeg)

Mainstream Canadian media is not accurately reporting what is happening. Today, I've viewed several horrifying videos of people with proper papers being violently detained. Friends, when you next vote--in Canada or elsewhere--ask yourself if this is the world you want to live in.
I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.
Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.
