On the anniversary of his death, inspired by this skeet, a cached US #KindleBookGiveaway of Small Gods by Terry Pratchett. This is my favorite Discworld book, and I love it impossibly, and it's the first DW book I read that I loved.

In a black and white photo taken by Steve Schapiro, James Baldwin danced “the hitchhike" with CORE worker Doris Castle, New Orleans, 1963.
Today’s small victory: Looked at an inventory of still photos of James Baldwin and learned that I correctly identified the #60s dance (the “Hitchhike”) he was doing in a photo I created metadata for two years ago. Yes, I have knowledge of popular 1960s dances for some reason lol 😆 #photography

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 6 copies of @tkingfisher.com's Nettle & Bone, which I *have* read, and *have* enjoyed. It's essentially a small story, about one sister trying to save another.
Since this is a #UKKindleBookGiveaway, you MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one.
QLL is restricted to US users, right?

several 2 star & 1 star reviews that say: "there is a decent story but it is lost because of the decadent sex scenes. if you are into that, you will enjoy this book." and "this was hunger games meets porn and it was just stupid...no thanks." and "hedonistic dystopian porn saga. the characters are strange and endlessly horny. nuff said"
the cover for Beyond Shame, featuring a sweet brunette looking down and hiding behind some of her hair.
the cover of Beyond Control, and Lex is never going to hide. She's making deadly eye contact with eyebrows sharp enough to kill a man.
the cover of Beyond Pain, featuring Six in a boxing ring leaning against a boxing bag with her hand taped.

To celebrate, here are some books.
Specifically, The Uploaded by @theferrett.bsky.social

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. 🌈💜🌈📚♠️
Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Coyote Run (Amazing Tales of Antifascist Action Book 1) by @lilithsaintcrow.com, which I *have* and *have read* and *have given away before*. This is another *fine* book to nominate for an award! Also a lot of fascists die and there's some flirting.

Reshares appreciated.
Two sets of questions about audiobooks. (One for Indian readers, one for Indian readers who also write.)
Disclosure first: I am a fledgeling audiobook narrator — about to finish my second book for an Indian publisher — so I have a vested interest in your answers.
