LESSER DEMONS
LOVE & JOY COME TO YOU

Hi! I'm Rose. I write spec fic & love stories. I also do art & sew & make short movies. If you do/like any of these, say hi. Tell me about what you also do/like. (Is this how to make friends on the internet?)

Also, here are my books. Aren't they cute? (Cover art: Gega Datunashvili & Passant Ablal)
In situations where someone else might go, “womp womp,” my 11 year old has taken to humming the first notes of Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” in a melancholy tone.

“Hey buddy, it’s time to stop video games and do homework.”
“MM-mm-mm-MMMMMMMM.”

Love and Joy has been out in the world for 2 years.

Locals can now find it at the XOXO Book Boutique. It’s a bookstore specializing in romance, and it’s adorable. Go check it out. (And get yourself a copy of Love and Joy.) Or find it here:

11 year old and I made these chocolate chip cookies from this Stardew Valley cookbook. Ours did not turn out as aesthetically-shaped as the ones pictured in the book, but they sure tasted good.

I have had the most delightful surprise arrive in the mail. I knew it was coming sometime but not exactly when. It is BEAUTIFUL, @kathycowley.bsky.social! I am in love.

I am now someone who wears glasses. At least when I’m working at the computer or otherwise “up close.” These are supposed to relieve eye strain and reduce neck tension and migraines. Here’s hoping it works!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Me watching baseball for the first time in over a decade: “Wow. Professional baseball players are so young these days.”

Me realizing that actually I myself am just much older:

Throwback to Halloween last year:

After falling victim yet another time to the “I’ll just check my socials for a minute” trap, these words started going through my head. So, to entertain myself, I turned the words into whatever this is.

Happy Halloween!

Here’s a little Halloween haunting. This animation practice didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, but hey, I’m not going for perfection. This is from my book LESSER DEMONS, which is not about literal demons, but might spook you nonetheless.

I asked Threads for recs on where to donate locally to help people losing SNAP benefits. I got a ton of good responses, so I made a google doc of the ones that interested me most & decided to share it.

I only knew the modern meaning of "Luddite" until recently. Turns out, the Luddites were badass, actually. So you get a thread! And now you'll know too!

My daughter and I did some Hello Kitty nail stamping for Halloween. I didn’t get good pictures of it, but here are some sort of grainy/blurry ones.

LESSER DEMONS came out 2 yrs ago today, & I was reminiscing about everything leading up to its release. This was my first ever cover reveal. I had so much fun making it & was so proud of it. www.instagram.com/reel/DQUhEPx...

Really enjoyed the Las Vegas Book Festival. Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my table, chatted, showed interest in my books, and even took some home with you. Thank you too to everyone who put the festival together and did the work to make sure it ran smoothly.

Gente, eu vou fazer uma lista de capistas que não usam IA nos seus trabalhos, pra saber quais indicar sempre que colegas precisarem de opções.

Se você for capista de gêneros romance, fantasia, terror e relacionados e não usa IA, deixa o portfólio aqui pra eu te adicionar na lista!

Been waiting for spooky season so I can wear these @noho_nails, which I looove. Very excited to sport them at the Las Vegas Book Festival today. I will be selling books and saying hi at a table on the north side near the library.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

"Maricruz" shared this photo of a beautiful bunch of wine grapes. During the peak season from August through October, she is out harvesting in the Morgan Hills CA area for 8 hours a day on an almost daily basis. She is proud of her work. #WeFeedYou

Tylenol does not cause autism, but also realize that the anxiety and fear about autism is fundamentally a type of ableism. It's okay for people to be autistic!

It's grape picking season and "Alma" works 7-8 hours a day in the Madera CA area. She is picking a special black grape for wine. She gets paid minimum wage and no benefits despite temps being above 100°. She doesn't have a choice. Her work feeds her family. #WeFeedYou #CALOR
