My FMCs would be true to themselves. Junior would buy something elaborate, Leigh would bake some type of traditionally Guyanese treat, and Claudia wouldn't go to a potluck unless she knew the person and that person wouldn't expect her to bring anything 🤗

They hate all of us. We must not let them divide us by deciding that some of us are sacrificial pawns that we can throw under the fascism bus.

The only way to keep us all safe is to tear the fascism bus apart when it threatens any one of us.

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.

Gaza is being starved.

The Sameer Project is struggling to find food, but they are still doing work in Gaza.

I will send the first 5 people who donate $15+ USD (or equivalent) today the digital items from my 2023 Kickstarter.

It was exactly this experience that prompted me to write my first romance! I was reading along, kicking my feet, and then... BANG! Random occurrence leading to a forced HEA.

At this point, I do not know how anyone denies what is happening in Gaza unless they have no sense of morals. People are starving to death. They are being shot at when they come to get food. What else can you possibly call this but genocide?

Does your TBR need a little beefing up? We got'chu!

OMG Thank you! 🤩

Here's what I know: a reader compared my recent release to At First Spite by @oliviawrites.bsky.social! My head is so big I can't stand up!

The Inscrutable Mr. Yang is available at all digital retailers and some library services like Hoopla www.books2read.com/MrYang if you want to see for yourself!

For realsies? *fist pumps*

God how I love this book! I rec it all the time. It gives me Clueless in all the best ways ❤️

I said it on Threads, and I'll say it here too: Kissing in Toronto is literally all I need to know about this book. It being an Iranian story is just icing! Can't wait to read 🤗

A tissue wrapped book is surrounded by candy with a stack of stickers on top of it.

The paper back book ‘the Unsufferable Mr. Fletcher with a Black woman lounging in a director’s chair while a man stands beside it. Around the book is candy and stickers that say ‘ask me about my triope’ and everyone deserves a happy ending’

Book mail!! @lindoforbes.bsky.social

Lindo Forbes: Looking back at how it all began How do you make a story interesting, raise the stakes, and make the journey worthwhile when the map is already laid out for you? When the beats – the set up, meet cute, turning points, crisis…

Author @lindoforbes.bsky.social is my guest blogger today, and I'm gonna warn you: this one made me cry. She's talking about writing the books of her heart from the audacity of names that sound similar to deeply personal representation: but make it fiction!

My husband read it recently (like, within the last month say) and he was like, "I thought Snow was going have an Anakin style turn, but nope! He was awful all the way through" lol
