I write books about smart sentients caught in arranged/fake/forced proximity relationships during the most inconvenient possible time. There's bad jokes, nerd-ness, vengeful deities, main characters die, and no deus ex machina. Thank you, drive through. 🚌

I got catfished by a romantasy book. 1st chapter hooked me. Cunning FMC with a unique life plan, wrench tossed in plan, salvages plan. Decayed into a shitty REGENCY not-romance with her either telling people to fawn over her or getting fawned over. Tossed kindle at Ch 4. #booksky #bookcatfish

Have been accused of making up the "Io flux tube" & Io transit in the NightPiercer series as a BS way to constrain action.
I'm not smart enough to discover this stuff & if I was not bold enough to give it awesome names like "flux tube" 🪐

It's December 1st, I'm enrolled for the semester, but I forgot to choose any classes. Realize I've missed mid terms & finals are in 2 weeks. How do I tell my parents I won't graduate on time? 😶🌫️😓
...I bolt awake, remember I'm 46 & graduated 25 years ago. WTF brain. When will you stop with this.

When someone won't say who they voted for, I know who they voted for. But I guess if they voted for a bipedal cheese curl, they wouldn't think anyone could possibly outwit them. Critical thinking just isn't one of their skills.

Watching Walking Tall for the first time and all I can hear is assorted belching noises and a chorus of "Mitchell!"
(Also, adjusted for inflation, Walking Tall would have been a $2.8B box office take in 2025)

"Cozy fantasy"? I had no idea this was a thing or existed. I'm pretty sure I don't write it. But I need to go read some.
As long as it's not the same thing as noblebright. Tell me it's not the same thing as noblebright.

"God spoke, and everyone had to go home."
One of my favorite opening lines to a book (the book itself was forgettable) but I think about that line a lot these days. #booksky

The most fun 𝔯𝔬𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔠𝔢 tropes to write, according to me:
☄️ Arranged pairing (Let's make the best of it)
🐝 Fake pairing (no one can know)
🥓 Forced proximity (well, I mean, you're HERE...)
🍸 Enemies to "I wish I didn't love you"
🍌 "We can't do this" (Oh, but we will)

Normally I don't comment on politics because I figure people come to my content to escape. But today? After that rash of grotesque executive orders being capped off with Mini-Hitler Musk forgetting he wasn't cosplaying in front of his bathroom mirror? Night's falling. Get your talismans.

As an author I always feel so weird following other authors. Like I'm not spying on you, but I kind of am? And I need you to help train my feed to not distract me with science and cats. 🫠😁☕ #booktok #booksky

Obligatory Farewell TT post. I was a failure at it, but it did throw me a bone once in a while, and for other folks it was life-changing. US companies CAN build better algos. But shoveling 💩 at you = "engagement" = more "audience" for ads. 🪺
