Have you read my book? How about my other book? Links at lauraeprice.com/books

So I have a book out! You can find details and links to buy it at my website and my linktree, both of which are linked in my bio!
The cover of a paperback book called Cobbler’s Hill by Laura E. Price. It has a rusty brown background with an art-deco clockwork bug in the center. Its subtitle is “the rise of the legendary Teachout sisters.”

I need to create some folklore for the current book to reference, so I decided to dig through the ancient stuff I cannibalized back in 2007 to write the first version and see if there’s anything in there to screw around with.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

I am so happy for many of my friends and their spouses. I'm also so fucking tired of their rights being challenged by the worst people in the world.

When I’m yelling about AI Calvinism, this is a good explainer on the Calvinism part. (The AI part is even crazier, btw.)

The canker in the American rose has been there AT LEAST from the beginning of English colonization and possibly before. Like most things that aren't Ronald Reagan's fault (although he has his share of the blame), it's John Calvin's fault

Hang on. Let me explain. 1/

My take on today’s tariff arguments at the Supreme Court. Short version: LOL slate.com/news-and-pol...
Going into Supreme Court arguments over President Donald Trump's tariffs on Wednesday, it was genuinely difficult to guess how the justices would rule. Within minutes, that suspense vanished. The hearing was a bloodbath for the Trump administration: Six justices lined up to bash the Justice Department's defense of the tariffs, barely disguising their annoyance with the government's barrage of blustery nonsense. At the halfway point, it would've saved everyone time had the court just huddled, announced its decision from the bench, and recessed early for lunch. Trump's signature trade policy-which he expected to raise trillions of dollars for him to use as he wished-looks dead on arrival at SCOTUS. We have spent ten months waiting to see if, and when, this court would set a limit on Trump's power. Perhaps we should've guessed that its extraordinary deference to this president could be outweighed only by its hatred of taxes.

Congratulations to Tabitha and Isaac, the winners of the Cobbler's Hill giveaway! And thank you to everyone who entered (please check your email/DMs for a discount coupon for being awesome)! The giveaway went better than I dared hope, so with any luck there will be more of those in the future. I've also got plots and half-baked plans for the website, free stories, and other stuff.

It’s the final day to enter to win a free copy of my novel!

I’m giving away a free paperback and e-copy of my novel, Cobbler’s Hill! For details and the entry form, click here: lauraeprice.com/2025/10/05/c...

#booksky
The cover of the book Cobbler’s Hill is centered. At the top is printed “Hey, Kid, you want a free book?” Around the book are a variety of informal review quotes about how awesome this book is: “Laura is a fantastic writer and you should read her book it slaps,” “Read Laura’s book, I promise it’s better than Brandon Sanderson,” and “Read this book it fucks,” as well as tropes it contains like ace and aro and gay characters, so many women Alison Bechdel would be proud, a witch, a haunted house, monsters, automata, pirates, gangsters, a hooker with a heart of gold! This picture describes Cobbler’s Hill as a gas lamp, weird west, alternate history, urban supernatural fantasy set in 19th century California starring a pair of somewhat violent sisters with supernatural knacks (the sarcasm is entirely natural, though). They’re trying to find their place while staying together, surrounded by monsters both human and not. After that is contest info, with a link I fucked up (use the one in the skeet) and noting that two winners, one per format, will be chosen at random on Oct. 25. Thanks and good luck!

Telling myself that I am not often kind to Future Me, and she gets me out of a lot of scrapes, so maybe I ought to sit down and plan out next week for her.

Present Me is really *not* into this, I have to say.

I just watched Red Dawn (1984) for the first time. On the one hand, wow is this an 80s movie. On the other, most of the kids die and all the boys cry despite Harry Dean Stanton’s Tough Dad telling them to never cry again, ever. Fuck toxic masculinity, this is WW III!
