Happy Deductible Reset January to those who (don't) celebrate it!

Poor @totallydonna.kitrocha.com has one (1) biologic that costs $3,800. We are trying to scrounge up money to pay for it!

That means 20% off sale in the shop! (even on new things!)

thebrokencircle.etsy.com
a screencap showing the drug costs $27,723, and her share is $3,856.23. This will wipe out her deductible for the year but the first step is a doozy. 5 of our new cupcake fidget clickies balancing on my hand. they all have different color gradient frosting and little white heart sprinkles! One of our new organizers that has a sparkly base with a place for post-it notes and pens, and a beautiful pink/purple/blue gradient pen cup. a cute volcano meditation garden full of sand, and four little 3d printed dinosaurs going with it.

The dermatologist was running an hour behind today, but I got new rosacea meds, so maybe my face won’t be a disaster for my events in two weeks. 🤞🏻

I booked this appointment like four months ago bc it was the first available, but the timing might be serendipitous!

Do you like corporate satire, sexy demons, or crow familiars who want to steal your tortilla chips?

I have an ARC of my upcoming book, STARTUP HELL, from @titanbooks.bsky.social. It's signed, with a doodle. And it wants a home (in the US because of the realities of shipping).💙📚

Seems like the SD card in my A1 Mini has decided to die and that’s why things are wonky. I have a new one ordered, so fingers crossed that’s the problem and it’s not the reader or something else more difficult to fix.

This week's Friday snippet comes from Wooing the Witch Queen, which is out now in ebook, paper, & audiobook: stephanieburgis.com/books/wooing-the-witch-queen

And if you're in the UK or mainland Europe, you can snap up the ebook on sale right now: www.panmacmillan.com/authors/step...

#romancelandia
In one corner of this image is the British cover of Wooing the Witch Queen, by Stephanie Burgis. The illustration shows a man in a cloak riding headlong through the night towards an ominous castle with an illuminated, crowned female figure in its doorway and bats flying overhead in the moonlight. A potion vial surrounds that central image and is further framed by leaves and branches. Crows sit on the branches, and a tagline reads: Love can be a witch. A blurb from Sangu Mandanna reads: ‘Warm and lovely’. Above and around the cover is this snippet of text, with a drawing of four books piled underneath it: Carefully, he tucked those delicate, lost sheets back into their damaged casing, and gave the book a reassuring stroke. “Don’t worry,” he murmured as he rose to his feet. “You won’t be mistreated again. None of you will.” Already busy making notes in his head, he strode towards the ordinary, nonmagical satin bell pull that hung by the door, muscle weakness entirely forgotten. His attempts to sort out his own life might have gone catastrophically wrong, but with a fountain pen, a supply of black ink, and blank paper—a good deal of blank paper, he amended—he might just be able to sort out this broken library of magic after all.

It's #FridayFling time! This is from SPOILED BRIT, my contribution to the "got drunk-married in Vegas" oeuvre, for the prompt word of "suit." Baz is a kinky A-lister, Ruby's a TV actress fighting for jobs. Temporary wife may be her toughest role yet.

A pastel yellow-to-pink gradiated promo graphic. It has the Friday Fling hashtag and prompt at the top in purple italics and "Spoiled Brit by Suleikha Snyder writing as Kali Decker" along the bottom in the same font. The following excerpt text is in the middle: “Is that you, Mrs. Templeton?” Baz’s voice rings out from the depths of the suite. Mrs. Templeton? Oh, hell no. “No, it’s Housekeeping!” she yells back, wheeling her roller bag into the sitting room and leaning it against the side of the sofa. “Need your pillows fluffed?” He pokes his head out the bedroom doorway. His hair is still wet, even though it’s been hours, which is weird but she’ll save that question for later. “What else do you fluff?” he asks, eyebrows rising with mischief. Ruby forces away the corresponding memory that immediately pops into her head. She’s never worked on a porn set in the Valley, but it turns out she’s a natural at helping Baz get and stay hard. Another thing to add to my skills toolbox—and something she absolutely cannot do again. “You have to earn that particular service,” she says, crossing her arms over her chest. “You definitely don’t have enough VIP points yet.” Baz strolls into the room, so effortlessly elegant that his tee and track pants could be a Savile Row suit. He’s in full Regency rake mode, making with the inappropriate banter. “With that incentive, I look forward to accruing them."

Owning a 3D printer is a little bit like magic. This morning, I wished the OXO Rapid Brewer we have would fit in another glass rather than the little cup it came with.

Some incredible person on the internet had already created the STL file for an adapter and posted it for free. 😭💕

Today’s #FridayFling snippet is from ECLIPSE THE MOON!

A chaotic, sunshiny, rainbow-haired hacker and a grumpy, secret cinnamon roll telepath must work together to prevent galactic war. There’s a forest of pining in this one. And cookies. :)

This week’s prompt is “suit.”

#Romancelandia #BookSky
As I worked my way into the heavy EVA suit, I wondered how I’d let Varro convince me that this was a good idea. Somehow, he’d blinked those gorgeous brown eyes at me, and I’d agreed to jump out of the station into open space with nothing but a few thin layers of fabric and polymer to protect me.

There is never any idea so shiny and the new idea what pops up while you’re supposed to be working on something else.

Not now, brain, I *have* a project.

Brain: But do you have a project about an older woman who’s a former paladin, now off on one last quest? Do you???

Fine, I’ll write it down. 😂
