hey! Lovestruck Books currently has ONE copy of A Bloomy Head left on the shelves!
A BLOOMY HEAD is my first historical romance, set in 1820 Shropshire. Dr. Thomas Holyoke has been unceremoniously ejected by a horrible injury from the British military, and finds himself being taken home to the chaotic family of his surgical assistant, Henry Gravenor.

Fatphobia goes hand in hand with transphobia and is rampant even in otherwise progressive spaces because it makes people feel a sense of control to police their own and other people's bodies. It is social poison and we will never eliminate transphobia without eliminating anti-fatness.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I do have some modified conservative opinions, but they are things like “it is good to meet with other people weekly to eat donuts and discuss ontology” and “quilting is pretty good.”

Reading The Siege of Burning Grass by @premeemohamed.com and honestly it is a crime that publishing hasn't given this woman a million dollars to just write books forever
Her prose is beautiful, her worldbuilding exquisite, her characters fascinating

will be sending this to my dad. like the author, I don’t remember not knowing this song.
I wrote, as expected, about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in my newsletter. Also about the time I spilled coffee on myself in a drive-thru, and how that wasn't the worst thing to happen to me that day.

This is the beauty of the song, the heart of it in those who lost their lives in service of building a world many believed they never belonged to, as if they are men out of time.
