This is a tough time of year for me financially, so I’ve decided to see if there’s any #WritingCommunity interest in my premade ebook covers. They’re $35 apiece, and I’ve done my utmost to avoid using any AI-generated resources in making them. Find them all here:

A premade book cover featuring charcoal-and-red art of a dangerous-looking woman, with the placeholder title FEMME and the placeholder text AUTHOR NAME. A premade ebook cover featuring art of clouds forming the shape of a face in the sky, with the placeholder title THE LEAVING SEASON and the placeholder text AUTHOR NAME. A premade ebook cover, featuring art of a small figure looking up at the sky, with the placeholder title YOU SHOULD BE KING and the placeholder text AUTHOR NAME. A premade ebook cover featuring art of an airplane flying straight downward, with the placeholder title GOING DOWN and the placeholder text AUTHOR NAME.

My dad: “I’m stressed because I have too many things to do, which means I can’t do any of them. I get up and start to go one way, and then turn and start the other way, and then give up and just sit back down.”

Me: “That’s executive dysfunction. It’s because you have ADHD.”

Dad: “It has a name?!”

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

Spite fueled me to work on my debut novel, where I poured in all the fury, anger, sadness, confusion, rage and pain that I started feeling at 14 after I bled for the first time and began experiencing period shame, stigmatization, gaslighting and more.

Blood Price is the result.

Reminder that I released a book this year, about a girl who finds a secret portal to Seneca Village in Central Park, and has to solve a magical mystery! I think it could be a lovely holiday gift :) You can order wherever you buy books or at my local indie, BAM booksaremagic.net/item/jpo2KjG...
The cover of my book! Two black girls are entering a portal to a village with older looking houses. There are green flowers and trees everywhere, and the city skyline in the background.

If you want a book your library doesn’t have, request it!

Or if you want an ebook that’s not available to libraries, use ereaderiq.com to track price drops on Kindle, or add the book to your wishlist on Kobo and they’ll notify you. I’m very poor and have tons of ebooks I’ve bought for $1 on sale.

I met an adorable grass snake today, and poked at its tiny tail until it fled off the road and safely into the grass. Have a good life, little buddy.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

what's this? a romantasy WITHOUT a shadow daddy?

A VERDANT VENDETTA is out today and brings:
- grumpy x sunshine
- AuDHD FMC who can't mask
- hermit x werewolf
- slowburn with yearning and then 🥵 spice
- genuinely terrifying and evil dragon
- bizarre magic system happenings
- cool sapphic MILFs
A book cover trope map. The book cover shows a pair of characters in a nighttime forest, with a large tree behind them. One is a tall man with light blonde hair and leather armour, and pointed ears. He is gazing down at the other character with soft curiosity. She is a woman with dark honey blonde hair, and her green eyes are wide as she regards him with a conflicted expression, one of her hands outstretched towards him but halted. She is dressed in sleeveless leather armour, and her muscled arms are covered in scars. The text reads: A Verdant Vendetta, Aimee Donnellan, Nightwalkers of Concord. the tropes on the map read: slowburn but its weird and horny. audhd social trauma. monster hunting. golden retriever x black cat. magic eating dragon. resurrection trauma. bi4bi romantasy

Trying to switch over to Proton Mail from Gmail, and wow it’s tedious to undo 20 years’ worth of creating accounts with the same Gmail addresses. Who knew.
