Hoofbeats by J. Nathan
Mind the stones there. A centaur took out part of my stone wall in a hissy fit. Centaurs, what can you do, hmm?

Do you need a break, a rest, a moment to recharge before the week begins again? Then pay my forest witch a visit. Just watch out for her neighbors.
Thanks to Sarah and @innerworlds.bsky.social for publishing my short story, HOOFBEATS.

Don’t write something anyone could write. Write something that could only come from your beautiful weird little heart. That’s what I want to read.

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising.
IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar.
Reposts very welcome. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️

We're a bit more than halfway through the month, so this is your semi-regular reminder most libraries have a way for patrons to request purchases! It's Black History month in the anti-DEI, extra anti-Black era, so I suggest a particular focus on books by Black authors, especially indie + self-pub!

Now re-crafted into a much more compelling tale. 2,000 words written today, doubling the word count from the 1st version. Still has a ways to go, but I’m feeling much better about it.

It's fun when you write the part where you tell the story to yourself, then you revise and edit that, then you submit it. Then you realize that you just submitted a really nice version of telling yourself the story.
And by fun I mean painfully embarrassing. 😅

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

I'm currently reading a book that is in a different tense than the story I'm writing and it keeps drifting into the wrong tense. Editing is going to be extra fun on this one. 😅

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.
This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Very interesting thread, and important for authors to know about.
Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.
Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.
Now Herry is threatening me. 1/

I took a break and made a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and started a pot of simmering Costco chicken leftovers to make chicken noodle soup for dinner. Now back to writing.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen
