I am thrilled to announce my new book THE NIGHTMARE KEEPER. An adult dark paranormal romance set in an alternative Salem Massachusetts where magic and witches are commonplace, but some magics are still feared. 🌕🔮

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

NEW: Judge Dianna Gibson has delivered her ruling on a new congressional map in Utah — and it's a win for Democrats, who now look on course to pick up another House seat in 2026.
Gibson ruled a revised map from the GOP-controlled admin following a previous court defeat was still unfair to Dems.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

E g. The food bank here in San Diego buys bulk quantities of rice for a fraction of supermarket costs and re-packages it themselves in consumer-sized packages for distribution. Your money there goes much, much further than an in-kind donation. (In kind donations and volunteering are still good tho!)
Hi just so I'm clear.
I wrote "donate to food banks" and do "food runs for mutual aid" because they are different things!
Food banks want your money! they can do more with your money than with stuff.
Mutual aid groups often want stuff! Mine has a food fridge!

Now is a really good time to donate to food banks, and do food runs for mutual aid groups. Also, do menstrual product runs.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

Maybe the plagiarism machines use em-dashes because they stole copyrighted work from writers like me who freakin' love em-dashes and use them in all our books.
Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD.
Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.
