Action Alert: Oppose H.R. 7661, the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" - The Authors Guild On February 24, in a federal attack on free expression in schools, the U.S. House of Representatives introduced H.R. 7661—the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act”—which would, if enacted, curtail ...

Just in case folks aren’t aware of the federal book ban effort, I’m sharing this.

Thank you so much.

Niran is a priest of the duality. He also has the unfortunate scholarly obsession with a certain very heretical prophecy foretelling the death of his own gods. He’s a bit conflicted—and highly aware that he’s one accusation away from being executed for blasphemy. #WSPit #W #A #F #LGBT

I'm querying The Hand You're Dealt A speculative heist novel with a hefty sapphic romance subplot

The Hand You're Dealt 1 steampunk world 1 con artist with a grudge 1 rebelling heiress 1 prodigy inventor 1 misfit dandy And a plot to take down some greedy bastards

The Hand You're Dealt Is about: - forging your own way in a world that wasn't made for you - getting justice and fighting for a better world - learning to accept the love you're given And has: - found family -sapphic romance -anti-capitalist themes

The Hand You're Dealt Setting and vibes Five photos: one of tge facade of the Sheffield railway station, one of the Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, with a tall chimney visible, one of a wilting rose bush in autumn, one of Sheffield town hall, one of an old-fashioned interior, close-up on green-and-gold fabric on a wall and athe back of an upholstered chair.

#WSPit #Q #NA #LGBT
The Hand You're Dealt is speculative, steampunk, & sapphic. It has found family and fabulous friendship. There are heists and heirs, moral greyness and actual greyness of smog and the North of England.

Love it.

“Many have forgotten the truth of The Destroyers, but The Seed Keepers hold the memories of history and are the key to ending The Destroyers’ rule.”

Text: Yokai mythology, liminal worlds, dual POV, restrained slow-burn. Shadow of the Fox x An Ember in the Ashes x Divine Rivals. Image: A marker drawing rendered in black and white shows a girl with long black hair wearing a school uniform and looking at the camera. She stands back to back with a tall boy dressed in black. He has a serious expression and wears a katana on his back.

A grieving girl and a duty-bound shinobi are drawn into a generational mystery rooted in the divide between human and spirit realms. As the walls between worlds collapse, they must decide whether saving both worlds means mending fractures or severing them entirely. #WSPit #WIPSnips #Q #YA #NA #F

Very cool.

Hope you are able to get on a good schedule.

A collage consisting of various cut out images: - An illustration of Sherlock Holmes in his classic deerstalker cap and cloak smokes his pipe in the bottom left - A honey bee gathers nectar from a flower in the bottom middle. - Four macarons sit stacked in the bottom right corner. - Up the right side is a stalk of purple foxgloves. - The background is split between a pile of old newspapers and a dark alley lit by lamps and neon signs. - Red stage curtains frame the entire piece. - Five bee cut-outs (from two images of honey bees, flipped and rotated to various angles) fly around the top of the image.

SHERLOCK HOLMES with BEES
When a singer with ties to royalty vanishes, it's up to detective Arthur North to find her. But as he digs, he uncovers a plot to turn his people, the bee-like zizzun, into a target for the crown's wrath. Can he uncover their connection before it's too late?

I am so into this.

I’m so curious. This sounds interesting.

Come along for an adventure set in a dystopian world with advanced technologies and an authoritarian government. Follow a network of rebels as they seek to inspire an uprising, and topple the regime. An oddly cozy and romantic ride for a dystopian novel.

Quote from “Too Dazzling”:

“Maybe my heart isn’t shiny/Maybe it isn’t dazzling/Except for in the way/It beats/Maybe my heart isn’t so fierce/So strong/Too hard for swords/Too hard for hurt/But it is/Not too hard for love”
