It's release day! ROSEMARY & THYME is live at retailers! Olivia Atwater offers up another gothic fantasy romance, full of dark magic, deceitful faeries, and "witty and nuanced enchantment" (Stephanie Burgis), in the second instalment of the Victorian Faerie Tales. oliviaatwater.com/book/rosemar...

It's that special time of year when they give the danger-kitties pumpkins to play with at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minnesota. A much-needed timeline cleanse. 🐯🎃 (📷: wildcatsanctuary.org)

We looked up Braedon Chow--the other Chow on the Toronto mayoral ballot--and found out he's 29. My kid said, "Bro is younger than Jung Kook."

About the RomanceClass Patreon revival (and joining is still free!): We brought it back in 2026 as part of a long-term plan to have an online space outside of certain sites, and offer a way to support RomanceClass directly again if readers want to do so. www.patreon.com/posts/173505...

Hi friends! The end of the year is always slow for freelance, and I'm in need of a medication refill and groceries for the week. Anything helps! I also offer author services if you need something! #transmutualaid #aidrequest Site: payhip.com/BloomWithBry... Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/brynnreneebo...

I don’t trust people whose personalities are hating things people eat. It’s a near-perfect diagnostic.

Everyone who wants to kick trans women out of sports has exactly zero belief that any type of woman is capable of athletic achievement. It’s all “cis men who sit on the couch all day can lift more than a woman Olympic lifter or in fact any lady who goes to the gym even a bit” and it’s never true.

💜💚 TODAY'S THE DAY! 💚💜

#FridayFling "warning"

So Eloisa James's latest book was given a cover made with GenAI. The publisher has withdrawn it and commissioned a new cover with a different artist. Props to the author for putting her foot down and the publisher for withdrawing it promptly.

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

“Catapult management could not be reached for comment, it remains unclear what will happen to the 16 frontlist titles across Catapult’s four imprints that are slated for spring 2027.” Shocked to learn that bored billionaires don’t answer the phone. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Good morning! We're suing Meta for stealing our shit 😎 let's goooo

did not have "inaugural pick for a book club featured on NHL dot com" on my author bingo card, but HERE WE ARE 🏒

FYI! Tor has put up the whole first five chapters of my lesbian winter soldier book CALL ME TRAITOR for free here: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The Great Hallowzine Sale of 2026 is on through 10/31 BUT: there's a way to win all five zines in print! I'll be selecting from my newsletter subscribers, so if that's not you yet, get onboard in time for a behind-the-zines look this Friday: buttondown.com/florilegia

I spoke about corporate consolidation and how sales teams across imprints are told which books to prioritize. And also book coverage in general interest outlets -- where once these publications were tastemakers, now they want to talk about a book only once everyone's already talking about it.

my book is out today 🥰

Today‘s reminder that there is only ONE WEEK left to preorder and support an author (me) and get swag!

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 novella, An Unexpected Invitation, is in this fabulous bundle! Beatrice has severe morning sickness and is trying to figure out the best way to get to her childhood bestie's wedding! There's magic! There's mayhem! There's fabulous friends! Go check it out!

Obviously the pain of being cut off is real! But I guess I don’t understand why the social crisis is their pain—the phenomenon’s upshot—when the real crisis is clearly the phenomenon’s cause: parent-led parent-child relationships that the child finds intolerable.

Besides the joy of protecting our diverse community and honoring our treaty with Indigenous and First Nations peoples, won't it be fun to make Danielle Smith cry later when the results are out? We deserve to see her crash out.

It's finally October 19. Alberta citizens, if you haven't voted yet, please go vote today. Vote remain in Canada, and vote no to the nine--questions 1-9 are xenophobic in nature, unjustly blaming immigrants for the UCP's selfish actions and ultimately about giving the UCP power to separate later.

Misinformation is spreading from a big "resistance" group that your ballots will be discarded if the poll worker writes on them... The poll worker has to fold every ballot and initial them! This is what they're supposed to do! Please follow what the poll stations say. #ableg #abpoli

Hello, early lunch club. I'm ingesting a salad while snickering at Strong Poison.

the challenge the industry faces because people are now saying, essentially: "I can use it to replace YOU, but you must never use it to replace ME." And when a group of people are saying that to each other, it's a joke that isn't funny.
