Street scene with a gaslamp and a bit of fog with pink roses in the lower left corner. Text reads: β€œOne of the things I promised myself, Miss Mancini, was that I’d give enterprising young women as much support as I could, when I could. But that doesn’t mean I’ll expect less from you than I would a man.” β€œOf course not,” Rett said, somewhat incensed. β€œA job done is a job done right, no matter who carries it out.” β€œPrecisely."

Why on earth would the "Science Book Club for the Curious" be interested in my historical paranormal Sapphic romance about demon hunters?πŸ˜‚
Dear scammers: You're killing me!

If you don't measure the numbers you can make up whatever you want.

Maybe I need to make my current queer historical mystery more romancey than it is....

You know what this means? It means I'm going to go HARD on Historicals for this year's Bookstore Romance Day. Let's remind publishers (& authors & readers) that there's still a huge, voracious readership for them.

I have always approached sex scenes with a similar design of choreography as a fight scene.
Just with more kissing.
And less clothing.
Usually.

How's drafting book two going?

There are so many limbs to keep track of.
A venn diagram with two circles. circle one says writing a sex scene. Circle two says writing a fight scene. In the middle it says where are everyone's limbs.

The three titles I pubbed to Bookshop are live. Do people actually buy ebooks through Bookshop and use their proprietary app? I guess we'll find out!

β€œFour of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. β€œI looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Be smart. Be wary. Be careful. More so than you already think you're being. And not just authors, but everyone. If the author scams are evolving to be this sophisticated this fast, it won't stop there. We're all at risk.

The book club scam has taken an exciting new leap forward. I got one today from a "curated literary platform and newsletter" that, unusually, offered a link to its website. I'm in edits, so obviously I took the opportunity to procrastinate. /1
