So I can finally share my vague publishing news with you: I wrote an academic adventure romance.

The AI spam marketing emails have gotten so bad, I'm getting them now for books I didn't write.

Yeah, so that one is a humble brag. This is actually the last photo on my phone taken in DC in April. After this concert, I then took the metro back to Arlington with my teen at midnight. It felt totally safe

Challenge: post last photo of DC to show what a hell-hole it is

And finally we have CHICK MAGNET. If you enjoy backyard chickens and confessions in the dark on porches and antagonists melting into lovers, this is the one you'll want.

Next up is BAD REPUTATION. If you enjoy sweet characters crushing on each other who are convinced the right thing to do is not to fall in love, this is the one for you.

A bunch of my books are on sale this month! First up is BOLD MOVES.

If you enjoy an unlikeable heroine, chess, angst, second chances, and lots of 🔥, this book might be for you.

I suspect the overwhelming whiteness of hockey is a contributing factor to its popularity. www.npr.org/2024/06/08/n...

The purity of bodily fluid stuff felt so on the nose for this moment.

Also, is this a top 10 Hollywood movie set or no?

It was difficult to photograph the Williamsburg, Va, #NoKings rally. But I'd guess a few thousand people turned out

Do we think I'll have the nerdiest sign at the protest?

one specific time I remember this happening was in an Elizabeth Stoddard book. I don't think it was this one (Two Men), but if you look at the shape of the word and imagining blurry printing, I think you can see how it would happen. the r and m can sort of blend into the n.

This is a little while ago when we still had four, but it's M&M, Hester, Prudence, and Dorcas.

It's release day for BOLD MOVES, my second chance romance about a chess grand master adapting her memoir with the director whose heart she broke in high school. it's available for Kindle, in KU, in audio (at the 'zon and Audible), and in paperback.

this is the Italian cover for Chick Magnet. Isn't it pretty?

A photob you'd use as an album cover

This is for my album where I play all the major scales and a few minuets and waltzes badly: "Emma Slays the Early Intermediate Piano Repertoire."
