They got here early! And they look so good!

So Tallis just turned the sci-fi story we’re working on into at least three books, with multiple casts. And it’s such a good idea. Dammit.
Oops, I accidentally a whole multi-book, multi-viewpoint, galactic war erotic sci-fi series.

Or rather, the plans for one, but it was accidental.

Person: So what's your current WIP?
Me: Um, a sci-fi. Human girl gets recruited onto a ship with just a pile of furry aliens.
Person: ...
Me: ...
Person: Yeah, you got me, when's it coming out?

Rep Troy Nehls from TX has given us the sage advice of, "If you comply, you will not die." THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE KILLING PEOPLE, TROY. YOU TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF A MEDIOCRE WHITE MAN. This dystopian bullshit is wild.

Since I finally finished the website, I have filled out interest forms for two indie bookstores and the Smut Lovers conference, all while ignoring the voice in my head that kept telling me not to bother because I am not popular enough. Please clap.

It took entirely too long, but I finally finished the website. Mostly. Yeah, the anthology section is a bit lacking on text but it has links and pictures. salarstories.com

What was that? @ubisoft.com never wants us to give them money ever again? Okay, cool. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Tallis and I published two books this year. We finished writing two more, along with at least three short stories (I might be forgetting one). So if my brain could please accept that as an accomplishment and let me rest until the new year, that would be great.

Bb, stop feeding the trolls. If sadsack67 with 23 followers and no profile picture said something that made you incandescent with rage and you can’t let it go, then take a screenshot and make your own post. Don’t comment, don’t quote.

Bugs Bunny is a trickster god, and therefore gender is meaningless. Though also, I hope someone who is still on Twitter responded to this with "They're going to make your mom gay."
bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

I have seen two Astarion cosplays this weekend, both by people on the shorter side, posing the question of what would Astarion have been like if he were just a little guy?

I had a lovely reader interaction today that ended with me not making the sale. Because I realized quickly that the types of books I wrote were not what she was looking for. She was understanding, and we had a nice little chat. She was so sweet, and didn’t berate me for not writing what she liked.

Story done! Now it needs a title, cause we can’t keep calling it “We Broke A Chair.”

It's release day! Changed for Desire, the delightful sequel to Bound to Desire, has been unleashed upon the world! Enjoy a cozy-adjacent why choose fantasy romp with TTRPG vibes, found family, and a lot of f— um, feelings. Yes, feelings was totally what I was going to say. books2read.com/u/3nJ98o

Remember that urban fantasy gender flipped Snow White? The short story? Where the seven dwarves are shortstacks and fey? So it’s done but it’s 45K words. Yeah, I was surprised, too.

Everyone* fears Nahia. She won the war, but they all remember how. And what keeps her from doing it again? It tears her apart.

No one fears Octavia (except "pretty women are scary" types). They should, though. She's obviously a warlock and how do you think she safely travels alone?

*Except the MMC
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

It's spooky season so let's talk about fear! Do others fear your character?

How does your character feel about it? Do they hate being feared? Like it? Wish that they were?

If they don't fear them, should they?

We're reviewing Kickstarter's "Three Ways to Maintain Momentum" email. One of the suggestions is "Add a new reward" and all I can come up with is "Clea will send you a personal, possibly weird or inappropriate, thank you." Because I think it's funny. (We won't be adding it.) Examples include:
