🧵 I decided if I were ever to hit 1K followers it would justify an intro post. I'm a little shy of that, but gonna do it anyway. 🙂
I'm an unpublished, fledgling fantasy author. I've written one novel-length story, which I am currently querying, and I'm in the midst of the first draft of another.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto
She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card
Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.
She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.
It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Happy Birthday, Kindred Spirits!
A whole decade since Kindred Spirits: Tower of London was published, and I cannot believe it... It's been a very lovely journey.

Not for the first time he longed for his early childhood, when his parents' love and approval had been something that wrapped his whole life, something that had seemed so solid at his young age. He wanted 'I'll always love you' to mean what it had meant when he was a five year old.

MC Lesin and magic user Nivie are in disguise while checking on some friends who are imprisoned against their will.
She's surprised to nearly walk right into a good friend, and takes the opportunity to arrange further support.

When you hear someone say that "there's no such thing as an innocent [insert nationality/ethnicity/political affiliation here]", I advise you to remember the words of Iain M. Banks:
"A guilty system recognizes no innocents."
