Now that we’re finally PM official—my debut novel will be out NEXT YEAR! I love this book with my whole heart, and it’s been such a weird and winding journey to get here. I have so things to say and people to thank and it’s very overwhelming, but I’m so so excited to bring this book to the world. 🪐

I gave the tiny human a cozy reading nook and he’s been perfectly silent for the last 45 minutes reading @mollyostertag.bsky.social ‘s Dungeon Club because I think he’s figured out if he’s reading I won’t make him go to bed.
This is a proud parenting moment. 🥹

My amazing agent opens to queries in FORTY FIVE MINUTES go check out her MSWL she’s genuinely the best ❤️
Reminder #amquerying: I open to queries at midnight tonight (in 45 minutes)! I'll stay open until I reach 500, to maintain a bit of sanity and ensure that I can get back to people in a reasonable time.
My goal is to keep opening quarterly, so please don't stress about missing out or bad timing.
My goal is to keep opening quarterly, so please don't stress about missing out or bad timing.
Heads up #amquerying: I will be open to queries from *October 12-19*, or until I reach 500 queries.
I am just about through the 500 queries I received in June - it has taken me 4 months due to health, working 3-3.5 jobs and making sure I have some balance remaining.
Thanks for understanding!

“Trad cath” is, weirdly, code for “unfamiliar with Catholicism”
Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining.
The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

10 days until HIGHER MAGIC is out! I loved the way @mkhardywrites.com did their countdown with snips from their novel, so I’m doing that, too.

Even in the original Star Wars movies not everyone thought the genocide was bad. The movies were just from the pov of people who did.
Like it’s very much part of the plot!

alleged Catholic JD Vance shits on Matthew 25:40, calls the Son of God an NPC
this is dramatically fascist
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher?
JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.
