🩸COVER REVEAL! 🩸

Arthur and Sal are back for another romp in SUMMER COVEN! This time, the summer solstice festival plays host to a mysterious coven of witches, some bold fashion choices, and one horrible murder.

Artist: Liam Eisenberg
Designer: Colleen Reinhart

In the foreground, two vampires ride a teal tandem bicycle. In front, a white man with graying hair, a light gray suit, and bright red tie holds a pink slushie and looks adoringly at his husband behind him, who has luscious curly black hair, a plum purple suit, puffy cravat, and is holding a blood red popsicle. In the front basket, a black cat perches with her paws up. Behind them, a festival is underway with bright pink tents and red flags in front of dark green trees. People mill about, some wearing pointy witch hats. Yellow text with a pink drop shadow spells out "SUMMER COVEN" over a dark blue sky with a yellow crescent moon at the top, and at the bottom in yellow text is "Authors of Dead & Breakfast" just above "Kat Hillis & Rosiee Thor"

So please, I beg of you, respect YA authors, YA books, and teen readers by ONLY nominating for the Lodestar books that are marketed and published as Young Adult. Don’t let your ego or your personal feelings get in the way of teens, i.e. the audience these books are actually meant for.

Since the Hugo Award nominations are now open, we need to talk about the #Lodestar. I'm going to give you some tips on how to nominate appropriately - in other words, to nominate Young Adult, not Middle Grade or adult crossovers. bsky.app/profile/lawo...

Henry Cuellar should never hold elected office again. Anyway in the meantime, make your Senators scared of you.

Honestly even Republicans can be moved if they get enough calls. So make sure to do so. Especially make Democrats terrified of their voters if they don't vote no with a bullet on this one

NEW: House passes SAVE America Act

218-213; Rs + 1 Dem (Cuellar) vote yes.

Revised Trump-backed bill requires showing proof of citizenship "in person" to register and slaps photo ID rules to vote.

Now it goes to the Senate. No path to 60. THUNE promises a vote.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

The large print edition of DEAD & BREAKFAST is out today from Thorndike press with an alternate cover and everything!

www.gale.com/thorndike/pr...
On a cream background with light grey bats, red text reads "large print edition available now" and a 3D mockup of a paperback book with the large print cover for Dead & Breakfast: The title s in cream text on a blue sky with two vampires holding a plate of croissants over a dead body in a bed of flowers. The vampire on the right is an older white man who, through no fault of his own, looks like a republican politican from the 1980s, and the vampire on the right is a white man with long dark hair and a dashing cravat and a green jacket. The dead body is a white man with an unfortunate mustache and a brown suit, lying in a bed of roses.

I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

Notice a ton of commercials pushing AI during last night's Super Bowl?

Here's why these companies are so eager to get you to adopt it in your life (hint: it's a bubble). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wxBHxpMFXA

Are we watching an AI revolution, or a slow-motion economic disaster?

My takeaways from my first Super Bowl party:
-it’s really fun when your team wins
-Bad Bunny absolutely killed it
-the commercials really fuckin sucked

Queer bookstores died in 2010. We had a funeral and everything!

Except... a ton of people decided to roll up their sleeves and start *new* queer bookshops, all over the place. In cities. In tiny towns.

My latest newsletter is about the rebirth of the LGBTQ bookshop:
