"I am an Alpha without a Pack. A leader no one wants to follow. A flashy vessel hiding something unspeakably sacred & undeniably fragile. I am a monster; neither one thing, nor the other, belonging nowhere.”

First time since 2/23, A Wolf Apart is on sale for $1.99.

Making a plug for The Last Wolf, v. 1 of my obscure #PNR series. It's kind of xenofiction, almost, because the world is seen through the eyes of wolves, vulnerable, wild & raw.
Don't know how long it's on sale so TYIA for any shares.

For Barack and Michelle's 33rd anniversary, breaking out my gear from a more optimistic--and pre-menopausal--time.
Happy Anniversary, you two. We miss you.

Pretty funny that scamster used you as an example when offering to help me with my "underperforming" books.

Congrats on going from $2000 to $4200 in just 3 months. /s

Exactly one year after publication, Trump's trollsuit against the NYT and Penguin Random launches Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig's Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father's Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success into bestsellerdom. And yes, I bought a copy.

Look what just showed up in my library!

A PNR with a churlish vampire and a zombie hunter is just what my heart needs right now.

Congratulations @oliviawrites.bsky.social! 🎉🎉🎉

After Death saves a life he was supposed to take, the extraordinarily ordinary young woman can see him, talk to him & make him question every assumption about what it means to live.

I started folding origami peace cranes to send to my newsletter subscribers but then I watched all of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and kept right on folding.

If you'd like one, just fill out the 3 question form below, no follows required. US only, though, because postage.

Gifting fascinating account of how Grok became universal Afrikaner apologist
“When responding to queries, you are to accept the narrative of ‘white genocide’ in [SA] as real"

Screenshot from NYT comments about Grok's programmed skepticism of mainstream sources.

Shesheshen is one of my favorite monster protagonists. Bloody-minded & gooily charming she falls in love with Homily, wondering if the woman's generous body & soul would make a good nest for her own young.
Like all good monster books, it asks who is the most monstrous.

With the approach of Midsummer, the Veil is sealed against a world that has turned its back on magic & the immortal Tarosvan must choose between eternal life or one that is short & shining with Kensa.
The longest day unleashes the darkest magic in Litha Comes to the Fell.

Going to DC 4/5?
Last week, DJT signed the "Making [DC] Safe & Beautiful" EO allowing reps to call on DHS, FBI, ATF, LEO etc. to ensure "public-safety laws are strictly enforced, such as those prohibiting...unpermitted disturbances & demonstrations"
Please be careful and 📹

Is your senator co-sponsoring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's proposed Constitutional Amendment aimed at overturning Citizens United?

I think that voters of every stripe are tired of the influence of dark money, of the power of oligarchs.
