I like looking at the shiny things, even when I don't buy them, so I would also enjoy looking at them even when they're not ready to buy. πŸ¦β€β¬›

If you're still using Grammarly for some reason, it's past time to stop.

β€˜Hey’ came before β€˜hi,’ and β€˜hi' came before β€˜hello.’

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Book cover for the forthcoming book The Scarlet Ball, by Nghi Vo. An Asian woman in a red Gilded Age ballgown faces the viewer defiantly holding a mask made to resemble a white woman's face. There are dark smoky hands reaching for her out of the darkness, grabbing her arms and caressing her face.

I've been dying to show off this incredible piece of art by Martina Fačkova, and here it is!

What’s being done to Iran is horrible. All these gross old men driving The Warℒ️ machine mindlessly killing for profit need to be stopped.
But nobody ever stops them.
The money is too good.

Anyone threatening to denaturalize citizens should be run out of office on a rail, just saying. If we let them do it to anyone they’ll do it to everyone, we know this.

Alysa Liu Is Skating Again, Her Way This Time

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

I send out a periodic newsletter highlighting new self-pub & small press queer romances I think look promising.

IF YOU are putting out a queer romance in 2026 for retail sale and you are (like me) NOT publishing on Amazon, please reply / DM so I can get you on my radar.

Reposts very welcome. πŸŒˆπŸ’œπŸŒˆπŸ“šβ™ οΈ

Hey so this is important. Amazon is removing ALL erotica and new queer books from its Amazon associates program, which seems to be a first step towards delisting these books a la itchio.

This includes my book, your books, and the books you like to buy.

This is bad news, and we can expect worse
