Oh hey so I have a new book coming out at the end of the month! It's about toppling a dictatorial regime with the combined power of friendship, pure spite, and a sprinkle of synesthesia magic. You might enjoy it if you like Revenge of the Sith or Heavenly Tyrant. ARCs available now!

Stuck in an endless queue in Libby? Has way more to do with predatory publishers than anything on the library's side.
Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, Macmillan Publishers, Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster "throttle" access to e-books by selling them to libraries for either a limited time or a limited number of circulations — sometimes both.
'Astronomical' hold queues on year's top e-books frustrate readers, libraries | CBC News
More than 1,000 people are waiting to borrow the Ottawa Public Library's most popular e-book of 2024, and librarians say inflated prices and restrictive e-book publishing practices are responsible.

Library worker here. I have literally had someone come in to the library to try to duplicate their library card for their adult son to use because he "doesn't believe in libraries" but still wants to use our services like free printing.
Funny how people "hate socialism" but wanna reap the benefits

Randomly remembering that time in my teens that I wrote a Nasuada/Nar Garzhvog fanfic based on the ABBA song Waterloo (much to the bewilderment of all the other teenagers on my Eragon fansite) which I guess proves I've been into monster romance WAY longer than it has been "cool"

I love that feeling when you're reading through a piece of work you were scared to look back at because you were worried it was a pile of steaming garbage, and you discover it's actually kind of fine and maybe even good 🥰 (anyway editing is going well today)

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.
