Promo for the 7th:
I write fantasy because I can make a world where nobody gets away with patriarchal bullshit, or even thinks to do it 99% of the time
** and male characters still exist in them (yes, it's possible to do both if you want to)
Elsewise: My ebooks are now on Bookshop.org! 🌟

I love that actual historical food both hits "this would be fun in February in particular, with all the pinkness" and "built in low spoons recipe modifier for disabled folks from the 10th century onward." Bc my own cozy fantasy is happy to be inclusive!

Hey knowers of the ways of social media... I love that I've got over ten times as many interesting and informative people to watch here as I ever did over on the other sites. But that means I also never had to learn how to cluster people beyond the Mutuals button? Anyone know wrangling tips?

I know what three things I need to write next and in what order.
I didn't need insomnia-sleepfail to land me with another whole plot and a half that I can even remember because I didn't make it to sleep.
I have to finish the projects I'm already on, catmuse.
(But it's adorable. Arrgh.)

Last year I had a better shot at balancing the romance and non-romance book links in February. This year it was 90% romance and 10% not. So I'm delighted to see and boost more options for folks who are like "please, I really need a break from all the valentinosity!"

I’m super proud of the stories in Women and Other Creatures.
I wrote them all during the shitshow of 2025 and I hope they help a few people get a break from the shitshow of 2026 for a while.
I’m also proud of the cover, which I designed. It might be my favorite of them all.
