Good luck to everyone pitching in #DVPIT today! This contest got me my wonderful agent, @michellerichterbks.bsky.social at Fuse Literary!
It took some time, but she then got me the two book deal that put my novels into the world. Pitch like anything is possible! I'm proof that it is. #writersky

This is so cute! I remember when the Town Center firts opened but I don't think I've even seen it so appreciated.

I was enjoying an audiobook of Frankenstein when 💥boom💥 an anti-Asian literary landmine pops up. It's just a clause in a sentence but enough to make frown long.

I keep going only to hit a whole Islamaphobic rife with stereotypes. Mary Shelley, you disappoint me.

So I've been reading Frankenstein and the particular cadence of the prose took over my brain so thoroughly...well this happened. #booksky #books #Frankenstein

I'm grateful we got to reconnect
last year, at his sister/ my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful memory, I just couldn't imagine it being our last together.
But here I am now, wishing I gave
more hugs and that we took more photos.

Sending hugs to my fellow stressed out feds and your families. Here’s 60-ish seconds of calm for your feed.

Everyone else is welcome to enjoy, too!

I have family in the panhandle of Florida. When I read the headlines from liberal, hurricane-free Maryland, I wonder how they can stand it.

Then they take to the beach. And I remeber that the Gulf of MEXICO (emphasis, mine) might be the loveliest body of water I've ever experienced.

A great production! I've only seen the movie and heard of the musical, so seeing the straight play in Spanish (with subtitles) felt like closest I would get to reading the novel with Manuel Puig's spirit and intention.
