One must imagine Sisyphus reach inbox zero at some point

No matter how sick you are, nothing gets you out of bed faster than the sound of a cat vomiting.

“Only I could have written this book,” said Mother, while reading the book I wrote. The ultimate compliment or the ultimate insult, depending on how you look at it 💀

Since my book was published in Greek I now have the distinct joy of getting AI spam “marketing” emails in two different languages.

If you currently have to exist in an environment that is tough, triggering and abusive, I want you to be so super kind to yourself. Aspirations can wait. Lofty goals can be achieved later. Please just focus on getting through the day, the hour, the minute. You got this. We got this.

Thank you for having me! Such a lovely chat!

If you’re not careful, one day you might end up achieving your wildest childhood dreams, and be so exhausted by everything life has thrown at you on your way there, that all you can do is stare at the wall, speechless, unable to process. Still fucking worth it, though.

Thank you so much to the 7,000 of you (🤯) who have added Vile Lady Villains on Goodreads! Here’s why that matters:

There are a ton of amazing writers in this Starter Pack! Clarkesworld is one of the top #scifi and #fantasy magazines in the English language, and it features some of the most cutting edge stories. So check out the magazine and follow those who manage to sell to the magazine! :) go.bsky.app/CAm1qMt

Me: I just want to write a simple book this time, man. Focus on the relationships, the romance. Also me, three coffees and 25 open window tabs later: BUT HERE’S THE THING ABOUT THE COMPLEXITIES OF EARLY 19th CENTURY SOCIOPOLITICAL TENSIONS IN THE BALKANS

So happy I can finally talk about this! Huge congratulations to @aijiang.bsky.social and to @erewhonbooks.bsky.social @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social I can’t wait for this gorgeous, haunting (pun intended) book to be out in the world! This was my first solo agent deal, so it has a special place 💜
