The strawberries are almost hidden - like in those pictures people post on social media with a dog or cat hiding amongst stuffed animals or similarly colored animals of another species.

I saw a review that mentioned lesbian astronauts and that drew me in. 😂

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid was so much more than I expected it to be. It provided commentary on family, expectations, love, and how we find a place in this world. And the narration really brought the story to life.

So, er.

It turns out that there was a miscommunication about the publication date for ANGEL MAKER: A KAREN MEMORY ADVENTURE.

And, fantastic news, it's coming out September 2nd!

So... 23 days sooner than previously anticipated!

Promo post for Angel Maker: A Karen Memory Adventure by Elizabeth Bear, showing the cover of the book surrounded by various plot and thematic elements. The cover shows a young white woman with a long gun, riding a buckskin horse with a stylized movie reel in the background.

The list of selling points includes:

heading for the (18)90s: living in the Wild Wild West

Thirsty lasso lesbians!

The Clockwork Man

My girlfriend is the smart one

I thought we sprayed for religious cults

trick riders & crack shots

This heroine runs toward the sound of gunfire

Goddesses of the Silver Screen (are kind of assholes, really)

JUSTICE ~dammit~

Cowgirl power

The horse that could not be broken

there must be safer ways to pay your dues

...and then the killings began...

and the launch date: 2 September 2025

The author cancellation announcements alone make sure you can't stay away. 😂 It's like soap opera drama, but real life.

This is me at San Diego Comic-Con. I've been attending for over 20 years. 😂

Heather @singsinthecar.bsky.social · Jul 6

Did you do audio or print? (I'm extra excited to listen because Katie Leung is one of the narrators.)

Heather @singsinthecar.bsky.social · Jul 6

I am just pleased that V.E. Schwab wrote lesbian vampires. I preordered the book, and the audiobook just became available via the library. ❤️
