LGBTQ Global Book Odyssey LGBTQ, everywhere, always… The NYC jaunt of course must end at the iconic, historic, inspirational Stonewall — the single most important catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. #LGBTQGlobalOdyssey #LGBTQ #GayBooks #Booksky #NewYork #gaynewyork #Stonewall

Flashback to my first visit to @thestonewallinn.bsky.social, checking off a very important queer rite of passage 🧱 This legendary landmark and the powerful legacy of the Gay Liberation Movement also inspired Coven of the Elder Blossom! books2read.com/u/bWqX50 🌈✒️ #FBF #BookSky #GaySky

So... when a book's been out for a while, do you think little spoilers are fair game for promotion? Do you like those little sneak peeks, or would you rather keep the mystery, well, a mystery? 🌈✒️ 📚🌎 🌈📚 #BookSky #AuthorSky #WriteSky

So many stories are written for YA readers, but what comes next? Growing up can be a bumpy ride 🙃 I write New Adult to bridge the gap and make the transition into the bigger world a little easier 🌈✒️ #AuthorSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Flashback to when I interviewed the fabulous @kellymantle.bsky.social for my podcast a million years ago 🎙️ We had such a fun chat in the heart of downtown LA—would LOVE to catch up with her again! #FBF #QueerSky #GaySky

Happy first bookiversary to my debut novel, Coven of the Elder Blossom! A year ago, I was so excited to share new characters, botanical magic, and a story inspired by the gay liberation movement 🏳️‍🌈 Looking forward to continuing the story in Spring 2027 🌈✒️ 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫 #BookSky #AuthorSky #WitchSky

I'm learning to be a little more of a squeaky wheel—to share my wants without feeling self-centered 🫣 Call it manifesting, asking, or simply making my hopes visible Maybe saying what we want out loud is how we find the connections that make it possible 🌈✒️ #AuthorSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Trixie Mattel made a Halloween album because “we could use a scare that's not on the news.” @trixiemattel.bsky.social talks to me about queer horror, camp, and claiming October. bit.ly/4hRj00O

#TodayInQueerHistory Sept 29 (1992) Paul Jabara wrote some EPIC bangers. His discography includes the oscar award winning disco track Last Dance, the Donna Summer/ Barbara Streisand duet No More Tears (Enough is Enough) & the ICONIC It's Raining Men. He died of AIDS related complications #OTD.

Every few months, a company becomes the new baddie and the cycle of "switch now" advice starts over. It rarely considers whether anyone follows you there or if the constant uprooting is sustainable. Eventually, creators burn out or audiences drop off 🙃

We've lost some incredible people, each meaning something different to us. Take what you loved and carry it forward—from Dolly's bubbly, can-do spirit to Tim's hilariously sharp wit. Their light isn't completely gone; they passed it along 💖

#TodayInQueerHistory Aug 25 (2026) Dolly was a safe space wrapped in sequins. Her warmth, humour and humanity touched us all; her songs pulled on all our heartstrings. Dolly was an ally, supporting queer rights even after losing a Dolly lookalike contest to a drag queen We will always love you.

Accidentally shipped two of my characters who weren't supposed to have a thing, and now it's all my brain can focus on writing 🌈✒️ #AuthorSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Whenever I post about Dead End, I see people who didn't know it was based on graphic novels or that I have a brand new series which has all the same diversity, world-building and heart. Go-Man is inspired by my childhood special interest in Godzilla and Pokemon but is much more than that.

It's game day for the Party Animals ⚾ Sharing a few of my favorite photos of Cosgrove to kick things off! #BananaBall #PartyAnimals #PA4L

So tell me why the hardest part of writing isn't coming up with ideas, but resisting the urge to write entire scenes for minor characters 🌈✒️ #AuthorSky #WriteSky #WritingCommunity
