The cat's finally out of the bag! My big project is The Catterfly Rider, a brand new fantasy YA series created by Kasia Babis and yours truly. A true dream project years in the making and a labor of love for both of us.
Book 1 comes out in Spring 2027, but I promise it's worth the wait. ❤️🐾

My artist is Polish and has apparently never watched the Wizard of Oz movie (although she's seen clips/screenshots) and I pushed her today to actual sit down and watch it because I do think she would dig the whole experience.

It's so good! Highly highly recommend watching it with an audience, especially an audience open to "getting it."
Finally watching the People’s Joker, and holy fucking shit how did I wait this long?

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Libraries! there's so much media available for free at libraries!
Did you know that you can read my publisher books for free if your local library carries it? if they don't, you can request them, and that helps me as the author, too! 🥰

If you have the Libby library app, you can request books from all the libraries you have access to with the click of a button! :3
If your library uses this feature and sees a bunch of Notify Me 🔔 's from their readers, they may look into purchasing the ebook or audiobook!

Anyone invoking Death of the Author as an excuse should be aware that Rowling and her TERF friends sharply disagree with you. Rowling has even explicitly claimed that the popularity of her properties is itself a ratification of her transphobic beliefs

There will be an ocean of digital ink spilled to rehabilite Marjorie Taylor Green. Do not fucking let them. She is a ghoul who has committed her adult life and political career to spreading lies, supporting attacks on democracy and mocking victims of school shootings.

I wonder if tech creeps are gonna do what the automotive industry did when they invented the crime of jaywalking to shift the blame for safety issues onto the public
re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"
