The author makes a kiss face whole holding a final copy of Lady Dragon, the art of which shows two girls holding each other while being shadowed by a dragon with spreading wings.
Author's Note that reads: For anyone with itchy fingers ready to decry this book as having a political agenda, let me preempt you: Trans women are women, trans men are men, people of any gender can and should love and marry whomever they want freely and without penalty or judgment, and everyone should keep their hands off other people's uteruses. Full stop. It's becoming an increasingly dangerous world these days for women, femmes, and folks assigned female at birth, but as the old maps say when headed into uncharted territory: Here there be dragons. We're the dragons. Cross us at your own peril.
Lady Dragon is out today! Thanks to my publisher @fiercereads.bsky.social, my editor @diebelra.bsky.social, my agent @hannahnpbowman.com, and always my wonderful readers. I can't wait for you to meet my sapphic dragon/princess duo. ❤️🧡🤍💜

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Spring reading has come as I was #gifted some enchanting book mail from @simonandschuster.bsky.social today!
Exquisite Ruin by @adriannestrickland.com tells a tale as old as time with mazes & Minotaurs, plus some great artwork & a sticker came along with this beautiful book!

I absolutely hate anything to do with my own book promotion right now (what a weird time to be an author/artist) but here are some quick reminders since I do, in fact, have a book coming out next week:

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.
I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

the correct response to someone transitioning and using a new name is okay cool. the correct response to someone insisting on a specific pronoun is okay cool. the correct response to people wanting to be called anything is okay cool.
easy shit. have you tried just being a good dude with good vibes.

I will buy a copy of both from you + shipping! I don't have them here in Spain 🙏 (this will feed my addiction to having duplicates of my favs in both places as if I didn't already have too many books 😈)

No, unfortunately - it was definitely more horror vs thriller with a gigantic monster not of this world - but thanks!

I *think* it was adult horror, but that is a VERY cool cover! I think the monster was entirely under water?

I remember seeing it in the context of a post that was like "this is how giant underwater creepy monsters are done on a cover!!" as far as communicating massive scale

Can book folks help me out? What's the recent (if not out yet) ocean horror book with a gigantic creepy monster under the surface on the cover? Not Whalefall or The Deep. I saw it maybe a few months ago? I want to get it for someone and can't remember the title/author 😅

lol, I think my perspective is skewed because those things are hot *tries to pretend I'm a heterosexual dude* okay, yeah, 8-9, since you definitely look like you could kill someone if they pissed you off enough (but that's also hot)

A Booklist review that reads: "With scenes so steamy they will leave readers breathless, May’s adult debut is erotica with heart as it interweaves themes of facing one's basest self with finding connection and learning to love. Romantasy readers who want lots of spice (including BDSM) will enjoy."
Woot, EXQUISITE RUIN got a lovely review from Booklist! I must say, "scenes so steamy they will readers breathless" is a pretty fabulous compliment. (Just look away, family members 😂)
The book is out on March 25th with Gallery Books in the US and with @zaffrebooks.bsky.social in the UK!

A zoomed out map of the recorded trail of a bike ride
A zoomed in map of that trail showing a rough outline of a penis traced in a park
An even more zoomed in map of the last shape, with a box highlighting another spot within the outline
The most zoomed in part showing a penis within the penis in the trail map
For anyone who thinks my disabled husband is courageously and nobly biking along on his e-assist trike, powering through paralysis with inspirational willpower that you someday hope to emulate, this is what he's actually doing:
