The ATX airport was hopping tonight. Glad we were flying in instead of out. Good luck, F1 fans!

Time for culture, this time in a new locale!

It's #FridayFling o'clock, and I'm pulling from Nobody's Bargain. In which a washed-up 56-year-old rock musician and a 37-year-old writer and DV survivor find connection via steamy sex—and perhaps find themselves in the process. #romancelandia Buy links: books2read.com/u/bxD0no

#FridayFling 'warning' from STAR CRUISE GHOST SHIP, a perfect read for the #SpookySeason! Will the salvage crew heed the warning in time? Available wide. #booksky #ghoststory www.amazon.com/STAR-CRUISE-...

This week's #FridayFling prompt is "warning," and going with a vibes-based rather than literal approach, here's a snippet from my cozy-spooky romantasy novella A Waltz of Sinister Import, which is out now in ebook and paperback! books2read.com/waltzSinister #romancelandia

Today’s #FridayFling snippet is from BOOKS & BROADSWORDS! The hardest question in the world: “What is your favorite book?” Luckily, Feora knows exactly how to dodge it. :) Prompt: “warning” First chapters + buy links: miha.li/BaB #Romancelandia #Books

New book from Mindy (Hung, aka me) and Mindy('s Book Studio, aka Mindy Kaling's imprint)! Coming fall 2027.

Every Friday, share a #FridayFling snippet from your WIP or published work. :) This week’s prompt is WARNING! You don’t have to match it exactly, just go with vibes. And if it’s published, drop a link in the post or a reply so people can find it! #Romancelandia #Books

We’ve been seeing quite a few bucks out for rut this month, but this majestic boi outshines most of the others.

The fact that a bunch of people at Microsoft (presumably) saw this ad and were like “Yep, looks awesome! I don’t see a single issue.” really tells you everything you need to know about their goals for genAI.

The manuscript I'm editing in October turned out to be much shorter than planned (a novel rather than the full duology) so I have an opening for a new client in late October/early November. 10% off for the first person who contacts me to reserve the slot. #LianaEdits #Writing www.lianaedits.com

In case you were hiding under a rock this morning: if you know what PHP is and you are in charge of a server that uses it, go update it right now! www.php.net/archive/2026...

Whoa, EA is shutting down BioWare. What a sad day. :( www.theverge.com/games/101564...

4.99 for the audiobook of Magical Inkeeping by Sangu Mandanna! I loved this one, perfect for the season <3 libro.fm/audiobooks/9... #romancelandia

If you’re self-hosted on Ubuntu, the PHP patches are now available going back to 22.04 LTS: ubuntu.com/security/not...

If you self-host and run PHP on it (which is very likely) you NEED to update it later today, ASAP. A major vulnerability that affects PHP versions since 5 has been found, which allows remote code execution (very bad). You MUST retweet and share with friends who self-host. THIS IS CRITICAL. ⚠️

Mr M and I voted today and our polling place was a ghost town, so we didn’t have to wait at all. The morning between 8-9 is a good time if your job is flexible!

Look at my girl Bianca living that face-out life!! 😍 Thanks, @bookpeople.com!

At the Neal Stephenson signing at @bookpeople.com!

I just got a text from a “lifelong Democrat” urging me to vote FOR a proposition proposed by a Republican PAC. Sure, Jan.

So, I'd been trying to resist posting this, but I've given up. Here's the tiny video I made of the Enchanting the Fae Queen paperback at Cymera just to show up that gorgeous gold foil! 😍 Available everywhere in just over 3 weeks. Preorder now: www.panmacmillan.com/authors/step... #romancelandia

Had physical therapy *and* a doctor’s appointment today, so that’s enough medical stuff this week, please and thank you.

Psst! The ebook of Rosemary & Thyme has been released an entire week early on my author store! I always like to do early releases there when I can; not only do I receive a much larger percentage of the sale price, but newsletter subscribers can get 10% off. payhip.com/StarwatchPress

my book is out today 🥰

The local radio station is doing Tom Petty Day, and all I can think about is Rex Manning Day. IYKYK! 😂

I am never going to hire an illustrator who cold emails me a chatGPT pitch. If you’re using genAI for words, I’m going to assume you’re using it for images, too, and no thank you to both.

I would love for Ken Paxton to suffer such a resounding defeat that he slinks back into the slimy cesspool from which he emerged and is never seen again. Let’s do this, Texas!

Texans, early voting starts TODAY! Check your sample ballot, make a plan, and vote! And be sure to write down your choices ON PAPER like it’s 1903 because phones are NOT ALLOWED in voting areas. League of Women Voters is a good place to start: www.lwvtexas.org

Yup! I can spot genAI emails at thirty paces, and straight to the trash. I don’t care if you’re not a great writer. If you genuinely write it, you get a lot of grace, and I’ll figure it out. If you have chatGPT “fix” it for you, I’ll delete it because it sounds like the spam I get all day.

We saw You Can See Everything because Mr M was interested, and that was definitely a thing that we saw. 😂 Alt title: Everyone Sucks Here.

Happy tire pressure notification light day to all who celebrate (the first cold front of the season). 😂

This is such a great analogy! It *is* a mountain, and we *are* climbing it. We might not get there this time, because the GOP is clawing away every bit of progress they can in a desperate attempt to cling to power, but we ARE getting closer! And early voting starts NEXT WEEK (Oct 19)!

Is today’s #FridayFling snippet a threat—or a promise? You decide! 😏 Deadly beasts, magical castles, and a love that will shape the fate of kingdoms. ROSES & STONE is up for preorder now; out December 1! More info + retailer links: https://miha.li/RS Prompt: “leash” #Romancelandia #Books
