Two special guests here at Frightreads. I would accept a ride in exactly one of these.

If you're at Frightreads, come say hi! I've got my own new thing in trying: little hand-bound books of my short stories! Aren't they cute?

A park near me is doing a special butterfly exhibit, and we finally made it there. Pure magic to have these fragile beauties flying circles around you without a care.

Nature is the best balm I've found against current events.

Where to find me at #Worldcon today:

Autographing at 3pm

Come say hi, and I'll sign a spaceship for you!

Folding these lil spaceships to give out at my #Worldcon autographing session, with some expert help from my aunt.

Stop by Friday at 3pm and say hi!

I made a thing!

If you love Warped State, find me at Worldcon (or any con) and ask to join the Cooperative. I'll give you an official membership card!

I've been writing nonbinary characters since way before I realized I was nonbinary. (Who could've guessed??)

Two of my favorites are in this series:

Ship, a sentient spaceship who's a POV from Book 1 onward and isn't sure about pronouns, doesn't think they deserve a name until book 2...

This Langston Hughes poem is the vibe I need for today: poets.org/poem/let-ame...

#Balticon folks! I'm signing books in the 5th for lobby, and I've got books for sale and cookies from Vaccaro's (Bmore's best Italian bakery)!

Come say hi! Don't make me take these all home

It's also the day for my favorite meme!

If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

By "personal liberties" I'm sure they mean things like freedom to protest, freedom to not get fired from your government job by random techbros, and freedom to use the pronouns and gender presentation that fit you best. Right? Right?????

Got a surprise package in the mail. Spicy "Resist!" blend packets to share with my DC area neighbors.

I love Penzey's so damn much.

Psst! Like heists, sentient spaceships, and rich corporate assholes getting what they deserve?

quote with one thing you've written that everyone should read 👀📚

My space opera Warped State is like Star Trek meets Leverage but way more gay:

I'm ALSO at the newly revived Baltimore Book Festival on Sunday!

I'm on a panel on "What Hope in SFF Means for Our Collective Survival" at 1pm, and I'm signing books right afterward at 2pm.

Will I see you there?

Warped State came out one year ago today! Honestly it feels like way longer than that -- what a year it's been on every front: writing life, personal life, and the world.

The whole trilogy is out now, and I couldn't be prouder of these three books, these three siblings and their found family.

How am I supposed to get anything done, I ask you? Anything at all??
