“I don’t like to read a series until it’s done.” Fine. Buy the book now, and don’t read it until the other ones come out. But if you want this series to be finished, someone needs to buy the early books.

"I pirate books so that I don't give Amazon money" is not the moral high ground some people seem to think it is. May I introduce you to libraries? Other books stores? Anything that doesn't support stealing from creatives who are barely making anything off that book to begin with?

I'm trying to find a cover of Gold Dust Woman that I heard who knows how long ago. It's not the Hole cover (which is a favorite), but it does have that more aggressive feel. Was it a metal cover? Maybe? Does anyone have a favorite Gold Dust Woman cover?

Book events can be full of beautiful moments, but also they're at least 50% rejection. Often more. For hours, for 2-3 days. So if it's not your thing, just thank the writer and move along. You don't need to tell them why you think their work is "gross" or what they're doing wrong.

Did you know that Longmont is closer to Fort Collins than it is Aurora? I DID NOT!
Today has been an adventure, but I’m at MileHiCon, my table is set up, I am wearing my Boo headband, and I am as ready for this as I’m capable of being.

My mother's cousins are my aunts. My uncle's children are 20+ years younger than me, and guess what? I'm their weird aunt.

Did a brewery book event today with four other authors. Didn't sell a single book (not sure if anyone did). This is officially the worst event I've ever done, sales wise. A year ago this would have devastated me. Today I'm not happy, but I know it was the event, not me. Not my books.

This my tiny press’s project!
Just a reminder that we have a really fun Kickstarter going on right now for our Summoner anthologies. One written by myself and @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social, the other by a group of our writer friends. They're fun, light-hearted, and sexy! Help spread the spooky season with some demon goodies!

Nothing convinces me you're compensating for something more than open carrying in the grocery store. In a city. With the gun just clipped to your pocket or waistband. Yes, you showed us all what a big man you are.

It's the day after an event, so I just wanna be lazy, but as I still have not made it on the NYT bestseller list, I apparently need to get back to work.

If your position can be debunked by spending five minutes or less on Google or Wikipedia, it's probably not based in fact.

Not from Michigan, and not sure I know anyone who is, but if you're out there, HB 4938 is a special kind of heinous that disguises the censoring of the LGBTQ+ community (especially trans people) in a sweeping "porn ban" that will also cut access to education materials. Everything about it is bad.

Okay. I need an angel investor to give me $100K to start up a niche bookshop that also has a decent community space and maybe a coffee cart with offices for a publishing company upstairs. We'll employ my kids and all their neurospicy friends and they can learn valuable life skills in a calm setting.

I'm trying to set up a space where I can film content, and I have put more thought into the aesthetic of this small space than I have the rest of my house. Any day now the hyper focus is gonna slip and I'm gonna just throw up my hands in defeat and it'll go from carefully curated to eclectic AF.

“Why not just have AI do it all for you?” is not the proper response when an author is talking about the copy writing side work they do to support their career. Calling said side work “real work” and the novels “fun writing” is also not the vibe.
