About: The Trans Rights Readathon is an annual call to action to readers and book lovers in support of Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31st. How to participate: read and uplift books written by and/or featuring trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender-nonconforming authors and characters. Donate and fundraise for trans aid organizations in your community.
#TransRightsReadathon begins soon. It's a decentralized event, which means you don't have to sign up or do anything in particular, you just have to love trans people and trans books. Here's what I'm doing this year 🧵

The illustrated cover for A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, by Stephanie Burgis, shows the silhouette of an elegant traveling carriage over the title and a bat with wings outstretched underneath, all of it framed by apples and with mirrors at the top and the bottom of the image. Above and beside the cover is this snippet of text: “Oh, you poor, innocent fools!” the voice groaned. “If you only had any notion of the dark horrors that lie in wai—oh.” The voice’s tone shifted abruptly as the glowing eyes reappeared and fixed on Lord Riven’s face. “You’re no human.” “Indeed not.” Lord Riven smiled thinly, the tips of his sharp canine teeth visible by the dim glow of the nearby carriage lamp. “Nor have I been innocent for quite some centuries now, I assure you.” “And I am no fool,” Margaret said briskly, “so if you’ll direct us to our chambers and arrange for our luggage and a meal to be sent there as quickly as possible, we would both appreciate it. Dawn comes early at this time of year, you know.” “Not to thiiiiiis cursed house,” the spectral voice groaned...but soft footsteps shuffled obediently backwards, and the door finally swung fully open.
This week's Friday snippet comes from my cozy-spooky romantasy novella A Honeymoon of Grave Consequence, which is out in ebook and paperback:

The cover of Sins of Survival is shown on a tablet. Under it reads: "On Netgalley for a limited time" in the background is a foggy road.
TODAYS THE DAY. Book 2 in my urban fantasy romance series aka "Supernatural but make it sapphic" is up on Netgalley!!

There are over 600 items now at the incredible #fandommarket to benefit the American Immigration Council, so if you're overwhelmed, here's a thread of a few of my favorites!

So beautiful!
The Roses & Stone Cover. An illustration featuring a man with pale skin and dark hair in a black, open front tunic standing with his arm wrapped around a woman with pale skin and long, dark brown hair in a green dress who is leaning against his chest and holding his tunic, with a border of red roses and a large moon in the background.
COVER REVEAL! The cover for Roses & Stone is here, and it’s gorgeous!!! 😍

It really is!
Nope! Just Right. :) :) :)
Ooh, I absolutely loved my early copy of Isabel Sterling's With All My Haunted Heart (such a fun, ghost-y sapphic romance!), and if you're in the US and have Netgalley access, you can grab it as a "Read Now" book for the next 48 hours! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

A basic organizer for your desk designed to hold a bullet journal or planner (5.5x8 or 6x9 fit best, but larger notebooks will probably work as well!) It has a slot in the back for a journal, four containers for pens and markers, a smaller slot designed for stickers, postcards, or sticky notes, and three cubbies in the front that can fit paperclips, washi tape, stickers, or anything small you need to keep organized!

Good morning! 18 days left until surgery, so we're back to Sell All the Things so Bree has to close the shop and actually take time off to heal. (Ugh sounds terrible tbh, but here we are.)
We have 8 different colors of journal/planner stand back in stock today!
