A little last-second Persephone for a kinky Halloween party. Give me a glue gun and some flowers and I’ll meet you in Hell, apparently.

Delighted to be a guest again this year at the wonderful Gamehole Con. It's one of my favorite cons and @montecookgames.com has a balcony spot for gaming, relaxing, signing books, and chatting.

Who will I see there? I can't wait!

Just another introvert being grateful for her amazing extrovert friends who get it when she says, "I love you so much, but I can't come out and play. I have to stay home and listen to myself think for a while."

Here's another shot of her, through the porch railing (I didn't want to get closer and disturb her). What a beauty.

One of the many, many reasons I re-wilded my backyard: cute coyotes stopping by to take a nap.

These books are sooooooo pretty.

100% human made inside and out so every product you buy helps support cool, creative people who give a damn about games, other humans, and the world.

Thank you 💙

Look at this beautiful Invisible Sun ring that player Chad Mitchell had made using our prop kit! I totally want one for my game. It's so cool.

WorldCon was amazing and wonderful and wild, and I had the chance to spend time with some of my absolutely favorite people.

Now: home, where I spent an hour picking blackberries in the sun and hanging out with my new little friend.

My two personalities in my mid-50s:

1. Reclaiming my sexual and creative self

2. Wee! I'm riding a m-fing ant!

Hit the @pnwwitchesmarket.bsky.social yesterday with friends and picked up some lovely stickers from @craftedfromscratch.bsky.social!

Which is also a reminder to use those stickers you love! Don't stuff them in a drawer waiting for the perfect notebook or event. You can always get more.

Just a reminder that I'll be at WorldCon next month!

Come and get any of my books signed on Thursday afternoon (along with such lovely luminaries as @terrybrooks.bsky.social, @seananmcguire.bsky.social, and many others).

if romance + fantasy = romantasy

then

romance + science-fantasy = scantasy

You're welcome and I'm sorry.

Forever aesthetic. What do we call it?

Ray of sunshine sporepunk?
Rainbow skullduggery?
Manic pixie rotcore?
