Cute Evil. Craft beer junkie. Turophile. Amerikiwi. Just a Kansas City, MO girl living in a Kiwi world. Mouthpiece of Yeastie Boys. I'd be a much better unicorn. Trying to figure out which social media platform to use. 🤷🏻♀️
In a moment of inattention yesterday I foolishly upgraded to the latest iOS. It is horrible. Was it designed by a child?

The #firstworldproblem of drinking the occasional proper hazy is the fruit flies enjoy it as well and die in your drink to prove their point.

Don’t forget this is actually what is hiding behind the leadership at Unbound/Boundless protestations of “aw shucks publishing is a risky business market and sometimes when you’re really weally bwave and twy to help authors shit happens but we did our best honest”

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too.
But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

Tauranga is absolutely miserable in terms of temperature and it’s only December. Is it too late to apply for jobs on the ice over summer?

Dear Wellington. Please help.
I need a cheap way to cater my kids birthday party. The party is in Taita lower Hutt. So I'm looking for takeaways to bring to feed a whole lot of teenagers.
One of the teenagers needs gluten free. Another needs egg and dairy free.
Any ideas? I'll have a car.

You know, even though Twitter is a dumpster fire, it has also given me good people. Today I got to meet one of those people irl. It was wonderful to be able to meet Hink from the Netherlands in person today!

Okay, I've formally signed up for the Giving Pledge, sometimes considered the Billionaire's Pledge, though I've never been a billionaire, particularly after I gave away all my craigslist equity to my charitable foundation.
