Meet our latest foster kitten. The rest of her litter didn’t make it, so when we picked her up to foster her, we were especially paranoid about getting all the instructions to make sure she thrives. As you can see, she has no interest in being held. Her only choice of transportation is perched on your shoulder, like a parrot. I can write, eat lunch, go to the mailbox, and she will just keep those little claws digging into my shoulder. 😂 By the way, did you know that even if you can’t adopt a pet, you could help by fostering one? Your local shelter would be thrilled to have your help, and they’re great about instructions and information, and late night emergency phone calls. They’ll supply you with the needed materials, like food and meds. We’ve fostered cats and dogs (and bunnies and ferrets and mice and once a potbelly pig, don’t ask me about that one.) My sister is the director of our local Humane Society and every month or two she shows up on our doorstep with a pet cage and an insincere smile. 😂💕 There’s nothing better than helping a furry creature on their way to finding their forever family. #adoptdontshop #fosterapet

The kid’s section at our local library has these glorious six foot tall lions and giraffes dressed in people clothes. Every time we visited, my boy would run up and give the lion a soft kiss on the paw. Libraries are magical.

Heellooo Arianna. Not a question but just me being random. Few days ago I re read your Blood Brothers on my kindle!! Just wanna tell you how much I love it and your work 🫶🫶

I love you and your randomness and I am so happy you like Blood Brothers! You made my night, thank you! I also know this reply is appallingly late. I miss my friends on Tumblr and have to find a way to be here more often. I'm missing so much!

Authors, you’re going to want to check this database…

Thank you, my dear @jtargaryen18 for sharing this info too. 💕 I’m sorry your books were stolen as well.

Meta, which is Facebook, Instagram and Threads, is now involved in a massive lawsuit. Internal memos have been released that prove Meta intentionally stole hundreds of thousands of books - including all of mine - to data scrape and train their AI. Here’s a link to see if they’ve stolen your work too: bit.ly/4iRK92t

There’s a class action suit just about to be launched, they’re waiting for the judge to determine if this is protected under the Fair Use laws, which it is absolutely not.

I am begging you to see that piracy is inexcusable, whether it’s a single person who doesn’t want to pay for the book to a despicable multi trillion dollar corporation who thinks they’re entitled to take your creative work for free. Authors write because we love it, because we love sharing these stories with you, because we love your reactions so much.

Because you are our community.

But we’re also supporting our families. Piracy, plagiarism and theft are inexcusable, no matter what the circumstances. Here’s another helpful link to the Author’s Guild info: bit.ly/41S55zz

We have an epic used bookstore in my town that’s been here for at least 50 years. The owner is a cantankerous old soul who changes around the bookshelves and where you can find a particular genre because “you should be checking out other types of books.” If you’re there for a romance, he’ll steer you over to the Machinery section, if you’re there for science, he’ll find you the weirdest Alpha shifter book ever. I am so in love with this man. Also, I know a lot about small engine repair now, thanks to him. #usedbookstoresarethebest #keepreadingbooks

Fine. Eat one or two screaming mini-Mary employees and all of a sudden I’M the bad guy? 😒

Finders, Keepers - A Dark Scottish Mafia Romance. Luna’s lured to the island, filled with cruel rich men - the Lords of Chaos. In the Dark Games, if they can catch her, they can keep her. I’m writing the chase through the forest and laughing in an unhinged way. Even the dog is looking me with concern. Finders, Keepers is live on March 28th.

I feel like we all should get a pass like this every now and then. Like a signed note for your boss, or teacher, or life in general. It seems fair. Take a breath and have some tea with me.

I love you, my beloved Tooz! You made my whole week!!! 🥹

Such Happy News! @nildespirandum's writer's block has disappeared!

Here's how I know. We co-wrote the last book in the MacTavish Stolen Brides Series, called Captivated. I love this book because of the experience of writing it with @nildespirandum and we're celebrating by giving away six copies. This is only open to US readers, we're sorry! Just leave a comment and you're entered.

You can find the book here: https://mybook.to/C2XeYnK

Here's a blurb:

It may be 2024, but when a MacTavish man wants a bride, he steals her.

I’m a billionaire. I’m not letting some endangered bird stop me from building my massive computer server plant. When these ridiculous environmental protestors interfere with my building site, I humiliate them before throwing them out. But when Fee, the feisty head of the group, uses her charms (and my intoxicated state) to kidnap me, I’m entertained enough to allow her to hold me on her Irish grandfather’s farm. When we’re attacked by an enemy intent on ending me, she realizes for the first time that I’m not just a businessman. I’m the head of one of the most powerful Mafias in Europe.

Now, I have to kidnap and marry her, kicking and screaming, to keep her safe, because she is utterly captivating.

There’s a goat living in my mansion and a woman who despises everything I stand for… unless we’re in bed. I have to take out my vicious enemy, deal with my irritating insta-family, and make my new wife fall in love with me.

Nothing to it. Captivated is book five in the MacTavish Stolen Brides Series, but it can easily be read as a standalone, with no cheating and an HEA.

We will not get a white Christmas this year even though we live in the mountains. This is so beautiful. Happy Holidays, my beloved besties. 🥺🎄💕

@alexakeyloveloki I've always said that if the Department of Homeland Security took a look at my Google search history, I would be so screwed. This is proof! I love you, girlie!! @nildespirandum

@wrathkitty I love you so much right now! Also, I can't stop laughing and I'm cramping up. But it's worth it.

[caffiend-queen]

Sin & Snowflakes is live on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited!

I think all my girlies are going to be very happy with the ten stories in the anthology - there's nothing like Mafia smut for the holidays! My story is A Very Krampus Christmas - a MacTavish Mafia Holiday Disaster. What happens when a bunch of Krampus-looking guys show up on Christmas Eve with AK-47s? If you're Michael MacTavish and about to seduce Sophie, the housekeeper's daughter, it's war.
