Oh my gawd. That's wild.

I think there's a list - bsky.app/profile/did:.... And I know a couple of WA state teams have accounts. South Sound and Rat City.

I'm mostly books and miscellany, with occasional derby mentions. Mostly coaching after a couple of major breaks, but trying to regain confidence skating.

On my computer monitor I got 0.0057. All in the same range as the text was the same, I guess.

I was involved in at least two car crashes in last night's dreams, both as a passenger.

I don't know what's going on in my subconscious, but it doesn't seem great.

Except for the other part where I was trying to identify fancy chocolates for guests. That was okay.

Number 5 right now!

The cover of the book The Mad Scientist & Her Ghost: A Jekyll and Hyde Romance by C.A. Cooper. There's swirling pink smoke and green-tinted laboratory glassware.

Blurb for The Mad Scientist and Her Ghost. Newly single college student Shelley Igor is looking forward to a chill weekend in the mountains with her two favorite friends with benefits: twisted genius Dr. Isadora Von Frankenstein, and Frankenstein’s terrifying but lovable monster, The Monster. It’ll be good to catch up, hang out, and have plenty of casual sex with no emotional complications. She’s got some fun new bondage ideas to try out, and maybe she’ll break out that schoolgirl costume the doc likes so much. It should all be a nice change of pace from serious stuff like love. But when uncanny events at Frankenstein’s secret lair spiral out of control, Igor’s in for the craziest night of her life. She’ll be so busy dealing with ghosts, evil twins, missing underwear, Frankenstein’s dead fiancée, and who knows what else, she’ll barely have any time to make new friends. On top of everything, she might end up having to confront her own inconvenient feelings for Frankenstein and The Monster, with the most inconvenient possible timing.

My latest book will be out next week! (March 18th)

Shelley Igor has been showing up in my other books*, and now she finally gets to tell her own story.

*she's the sort of character who goes where she wants, and I probably couldn't stop her if I tried.

So excited for the book and the pattern! Also, the pattern is in the top 10 of Ravelry's Hot Right Now!

Violet's Fern Shawl pattern by Olivia Waite Delicate fern fronds curl around one another, a comfort against the cold emptiness of space …

This book also comes with a bonus feature: the free pattern for Violet’s Fern Shawl, which I created myself (for my sins) and which is available for download! There are charts! A stitch key! And an absurdly long list of instructions, but it’s much easier than it looks, I swear.

I don't eat steak very often (we eat most vegetarian), but my mouth literally started watering. Guess I should double up on my iron supplement tomorrow.

4 or 5. 3's okay too.

That's amazing. Our annual road trip usually has us driving through the state on a weekday, limiting the brat opportunity. 😔

I think? Usually a fundraiser for an organization - could be an adult civic group or kids group.

That reminds me - I have a bag of hazelnuts from my friend's tree down the street that I need to use up! The small town gift economy is fabulous.

My greatest hope every time I'm back in Wisconsin is to find a brat fry in the parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly.

The PNW is sorely lacking anything analogous.

(I honestly don't notice POV unless it's being written poorly--if I am thinking about what POV your book is in, we've gotten way into the weeds.

I'm actually starting to second-guess myself if Fourth Wing & ACOTAR were actually 1st person now. MAYBE NOT? LOL)

I've started the process of taking my books out of Kindle Unlimited so I can sell elsewhere (or maybe even do giveaways?). So if you use KU, read them while you can. My older books will be there for about a month more, and my upcoming Igor book (out 3/18! Yay!) for a few months after its release.

The Roses & Stone Cover. An illustration featuring a man with pale skin and dark hair in a black, open front tunic standing with his arm wrapped around a woman with pale skin and long, dark brown hair in a green dress who is leaning against his chest and holding his tunic, with a border of red roses and a large moon in the background.

COVER REVEAL! The cover for Roses & Stone is here, and it’s gorgeous!!! 😍

I'm trash for "oops my fake fiance/boyfriend/betrothed has turned up, what now?" Top tier conceit. See: When a Scot Ties the Knot.

Nah, this is basically a moved wrong while being over 40 injury. The setting was incidental.

This may be the oldest ‘butthole’ imprint on Earth Fossils show exceptionally rare evidence of a cloacal vent—the slit that most vertebrates use to excrete, have sex and lay egg—which could shed light on the evolution of the orifice

I hurt my shoulder at roller derby last night. Not by playing. But by sitting down to put on my gear.

No, I don't understand how. Oh, I remember. My 40s.

I would have taken one, but when I clicked through but Amazon told me I already owned it. 😅

STAR SHIPPED by Cat Sebastian earns an A grade:

"This book is exemplary. It can literally be held up as an actual example of what a romance novel should be. I am in awe."
