It's been a million years since I posted anything here, but uh, I'm doing comics now? Other stuff too, even. Books and such.

Oh, and if you come up to ME specifically, the woman who painstakingly curates a romance section, for a "trashy romance novel" you deserve every bit of barely concealed seething disdain I'm going to serve you.
Friendly suggestion from your bookseller pal: Don't walk into an indie bookshop this holiday season to task for "a terrible book" for your joke gift exchange. Generally, indies are lovingly curated by buyers and staff, who don't think calling their favs trash is very funny. ✌🏻

I posted an excerpt of this book for the first time yesterday, completely forgetting how wild folks get when the word "breed" is used 💀 I have once again played myself

One thing I truly didn't consider when starting an interview based podcast was how many emails I'd exchange with publicists

I am once again kindly requesting that authors writing plus sized heroines not make every single one them unaware of their own attractiveness and/or actively hate their bodies. Please.

I just think that one of the meanest things a person can say to someone is "you look like someone who would date a DJ"

This isn't a complaint so much as an explanation for the folks who might be wondering why I'm quieter than normal/not responding to DMs right away.
My current status: hanging on by my fingernails. Also, if you're gonna say something about me needing a break... Yes, I am aware. 😂

I haven't slept more than 5 hours a night in almost two months. I've written almost 40k over a total of seven days. My life is nothing but book boxes and chemicals. I have a book cover & stepback to finish. The holiday season looms over the bookshop. I would love to become soup as soon as possible.

We hit our pre-order goal and my lovely patrons chose their favorite saucy scene from BURDEN'S BONDS! I can't say I'm surprised. It's cozy, it's a little feral, and it's got one heck of an orc butt!! 💚 linktr.ee/abigailkelly...

I guess it's time for your regular bookseller reminder: My fellow authors, please be courteous to booksellers. Yes, there's a lot of stinkers out there, but most of us are doing our very best to support authors every day. We are not your enemy or faceless corporate entities, I promise.

I have written so much in three days and very briefly felt accomplished and then I realized I need to have 40k done by the end of next week. Reader, I'm at 11.5k and only have [CHECKS NOTES] six writing days to do it.

In the funniest turn of events: Only three days into Orctober and I've already sold 1/3 of my stock of these ridiculous stickers 😂💚💦 I love y'all so much!!!
Get into the Orctober Season with this limited edition ORC BLAST sticker! Great for mates and friends alike, this delicious beverage is packed full of wet orcish goodness - not to mention electrolytes and essential amino acids!
