My first Bluesky post: publication news! Excited to share my debut novel about the power of sisterhood, women fighting for autonomy in a world hellbent against us having it, and what it’s like to question everything you thought you knew. 🖤🪦🧡

ALSO, if you have a library card, you can read paywall articles for free with the Libby app.

Met a library patron also named Melanie yesterday, she showed me the photo album on her phone of our name spelled in unhinged ways, and most were predictable—Melony, Melenie, Melany—but one was Mealanie, this is the kind of blessed interaction that happens at the public library, save the libraries!!

Lots of stellar books this year but BOG WIFE by @kaychronister.bsky.social is my fav. This gothic eco novel examines sibling relationships in a family mini-cult, what we owe to the land, how story can be used to establish control and how we take back our power.

Wishing you stellar reading in 2025!

the most embarrassing part of being a “100 tabs open at once” guy is when you inadvertently close them and don’t even notice and there are absolutely no negative consequences

Very excited that Melanie’s book is finally on its way to being out in the world! She has done so much work on this book, and you should put it on your radar! Queer, Ex-evangelical, slightly speculative-y—everything you want in a book.

(Also give her a follow on here!)
