If you’re a world-weary, burnt-out reader fed up with the apocalyptic vibe and breakneck pace of the real world and want a safe, cozy place to hang out with characters who feel like friends, my books are for you! (🔗 in bio)

I got to see some swans yesterday. It was a treat!

Two white and two brown-and-white swans on a lake

I’d be fine with ghosts, but it would depend on the job because I am not as fine with living humans.

Maia Strong @maiastrong01.bsky.social · 5d

Well done! 😅

When I wrote two SF novels in 2019 that made passing mention of “the American dissolution”, I didn’t think it would be so fucking prophetic.

Alt: MST3K’s Dr. Forester stands in his evil lair. He wears a bright green lab coat and says, “Why!?! Because it’s SCIENCE, that’s why!” TV’s Frank stands behind him looking especially vacant, possibly vombiefied.

I quite like oat milk for a latte. And for cooking oatmeal. Extra oat-y goodness. 😋

Agreed. I muted the TV and listened to our announcers on the app. It was so much better!

Opening line from LIVER:

Airplanes remind Emily of the silk nests of tent caterpillars that decorate the piedmont forests of North Carolina: beautiful, social creatures that can defoliate a crabapple tree in less than a season.

A cliche moodboard for an app: filled with young people being happy and corporate jargon. Across the moodboard is a circle with a slash through it and the words Eat the Rich.

Opening line from FALL DAMAGE:

Wrapping up after a D&D session was a chaotic storm full of jokes and scrambling to jot down notes to remember for next week.

Tonight was different.

The upper two thirds of this moodboard feature a warm orange and black palette while the bottom third with more black and white with a close of on a fencing sabre’s guard, light shining down into a cave, and a crystal. The top two thirds have dice falling, an orange sub at sunset, abstract images that look like silhouettes casting magic, and in the center are three silhouettes backlit by an orange sunset, looking off into the distance.

Opening line from CURSES, KISSES, AND OTHER COMPLICATIONS:

Every witch worth her salt knows blood on the moon means trouble’s on the horizon. Yet I ignore the glow drenching the clouds in crimson as I throw my car in park—let bad luck ruin someone else’s night. I’m busy.

Overlapping photographic images: Kissing couple, full moon, red candles, sand and shells, black eyes, woman hugging herself, more red candles and crystal ball, voodoo dolls.
