I bought two books recently - Sunbathers by Lindz McLeod and Haunt Sweet Home by Sarah Pinsker - and I read them both. Neither languished on my bookcase for years. I bought AND read them. I feel like this is something to celebrate. Does anyone have a cookie?

Just did the Niagara boat ride! So fun, so soaked 😅

It's Sunday! For my writers out there putting down weekend words - especially my marginalized folks of various flavors! A quick reminder: Rejection DOES NOT MEAN you are a bad writer. Find other ways to measure your work. Keep challenging yourself, keep pushing. Keep! Writing!

If you want to be one of the first to read my sapphic romance 'The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet', then you should be able to check it out this week on Netgalley! The reviews have been SO enthusiastic and it warms my shriveled little heart to see them. netgalley.com/catalog/book/4…

Made some bookmarks, really pleased with how they turned out! I was going to finally make business cards but I was tempted by these instead… I used VistaPrint. Will bring them along to Conflux for anyone who wants one! 🧵

Fitzwilliam has been attached to me like a barnacle ever since I got home 🥰

Everyone will be talking about Harry Potter and Downton, but early years Maggie Smith was so so good.

My first poetry Best of the Net nomination!! Thank you so much to the Moss Puppy team 🥰

Oh wow, 😩🤔 what is time? I’m so looking forward to reading the flashes about kinship and the possibility of such. Any questions please hit me up, don’t self-reject! This just might be the moment we’ve been waiting for. Lol

I have donated my entire payment for 'Here I Go Again', the 4th-wall-breaking sexual assault story I have forthcoming with Nightmare Magazine, to Refuge. This story, (and the murders which inspired it) can never erase the past, but I hope it helps other women have a future.

Find out more about Refuge here: refuge.org.uk
