In happy news, I just finished going through copyedits for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence! It'll arrive on my Patreon ( patreon.com/stephanieburgis ) this Friday morning. Woot! ❤️🦇❤️

And it's all set to release widely on September 29. Preorder here: books2read.com/honeymoonGrave

#romancelandia
The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. The headline above the cover reads: “Coming Soon,” and various key elements are arranged in a text map around the cover: “They may be married, but she’s certainly not in love…is she? Uh-oh…” “What’s up with all the mirrors in this inn?” “He always makes certain she has the BEST tea” “She’ll take on any challenge to protect her vampire husband - even (gulp) socializing…”

Oh, God, ew. How fast can I turn that off.

I have not seen any of it as I don't think it is on deck blue yet.

I won a giveaway on @urbanbohemian.com 's cozy, Sunday Locomoto stream and the book arrived!
It is flipping gorgeous and I may try to use it to bribe my precious DM to restart (or start new) our game.
A large-ish rectangle, wrapped in brown paper, with D&D - MM written in black sharpie at the top and Urbanbohemian written at the bottom. A hard cover book with a large beholder looming over two adventurers who are standing on a rocky outcropping. Non-beholder tentacles are flailing in the background. Dungeons & Dragons is written at the top. Monster Manual is written at the bottom.

I really dislike this sentiment re: AI impacts on education: If an assignment can be completed by AI then it is clearly just busy work; educators need to create better assignments.

Absolutely not true. Just because AI can do something too doesn't mean that doing it doesn't have pedagogical value.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖
A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I read this earlier this week. If you're looking for a single-sitting, cozy (with vampires) historical rom-com, look no further!

This week's Tuesday snippet is from my cozy-spooky rom-com novella A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience. ❤️🦇❤️

Snap it up here: books2read.com/UndeadInconvenience

#romancelandia
At the left of the image is the front cover of Stephanie Burgis’s A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which shows an ominously closed entrance-gate at the top of the cover and a bat with its wings outspread at the bottom, all framed by climbing roses. Above and beside it is this snippet from the story: 
“If I may?” Her husband rose to meet her, his broad chest filling her view and the cinnamon-and-cloves scent of his shaving cream filling her senses. “Naturally, I am pleased to hear you plotting another man’s doom, for once. In fact, I find it startlingly enjoyable. However, do you think you might allow me the satisfaction of knowing whom, exactly, you are planning on murdering on behalf of both of us?” Beneath that text is the buy link: books2read.com/UndeadInconvenience

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
