I'm truly terrible at posting on social media... So here is me appearing briefly to mention my most recent newsletter post, a review of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab (which was absolutely amazing), before disappearing into the void once more: buttondown.com/SHSenhaji/ar...

I still need to write this a real review, but this was my favourite read of 2024! It is SO funny and charming, I love the romance, the awfulness of the horrible little gremlin MC, the gardening, the questing, and especially the godly pantheon and surrounding religion. HIGHLY recommend. It's lovely.

Just got to look at a near-final proof of the printed version of Love Letters: Reasons to Be Alive Issue #1. It goes out to backers at the end of Q1. What an absolutely glorious mail day that will be 🥰

I return to this—and her—so often, it's like a mantra.

I read this the same day as I read @older.bsky.social's The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles, and that was a *fantastic* afternoon, so I highly recommend it. Also, I have just preordered the sequel to this -- A Drop of Corruption. I'm quite looking forward to it.

Ahhhh the end of my very frazzled week just got SO MUCH better: the Publishers Weekly review for Wooing the Witch Queen is out, and it is fabulous! www.publishersweekly.com/9781250359599

Oops! Forgot to post last week's newsletter post on here. I'm probably not great at using social media... That's why I've chosen to write a newsletter instead, I guess 😆

In which I talk about agency, hope, and Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

Tabling at Atlas Brewing with some rad vendors.

I finished _Glass Houses_ by @madelineashby.bsky.social last night, and _The Mimicking of Known Successes_ by @older.bsky.social this afternoon.

Very good SF mysteries both, but the protagonists couldn't be more different, and I have to admit that after Glass Houses, I needed a change.

This book recently won the World Fantasy Award AND the Ignyte Award. People (and some cats) seem to like it. You should own a copy. I know where you can procure one. @premeemohamed.com

I was luckily able to gush about how much I adored The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by @older.bsky.social for Strange Horizons, where you can read the full review: strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/...

Yes hello if you would enjoy reading a story about a female version of James Bond taking on a Lovecraftian death cult in 19th century London then you might like my most recent book, 'Easter Pinkerton and the Case of the Heretic Blood'.

... there's also a sword cane.

A PALACE NEAR THE WIND—April 8, 2025 @titanbooks.bsky.social

Hello Blue Sky: I post about politics a lot, but it is instrumental to understanding my tweets that I write romance novels.

I write romance novels because I understand that hope is not a passive thing: it is an active practice that must be cultivated over time.

So, I decided to start a newsletter, to share some of the thoughts that ramble about in my brain, and I just wrote a reflection on my amazing Can*Con 2024. @canconsffh.bsky.social

Decided to finally take the plunge and sign up for the dreaded Social MediaTM...

Hope to find some cool people to connect with, and a fun space to share my thoughts
