Do you prefer happily ever afters? I originally had a different ending in mind for The Shield, but I'm so committed to having things end happily (and I cried so hard just trying to write it), that I scrapped the idea. Give me a happily ever after any day of the week. #booksky

I'll be signing at the Woodinville Barnes & Noble on 5/9 at 2pm. This is my first signing at a B&N and it's the one I grew up going to. Copies of my book, The Shield, will be available for purchase. The Shield is a YA supernatural romance. #bookevent #booksky #authorsky

No one should ever have to endure people behaving like this, but when you own your own business, you have a lot more freedom to loudly and firmly set boundaries. #booksky #authorsky

Why I'm glad I deleted TikTok. I enjoy posting regularly and am going to try to find a new rhythm that works for me. #booksky #authorsky #tiktok #tiktokban #socialmedia

Do you prefer 1st or 3rd person point of view? The POV in a book is a powerful narration tool and has to be used correctly. I like a fun 1st person POV where it feels like the character is talking directly to me and I love a 3rd person POV where I can see things a bit differently. #booksky #author

My favorite bookish trend right now are Pünchkins book plushies! I am obsessed with these and I want more. More variety. More everything. I also want a navy blue one that relates to YA or fantasy or something so I can display it on my table, lol. #booksky

I think it's important for a writer to know if they prefer writing standalones or a series. I wish I'd realized that I prefer standalones before committing to a series even if said series is fairly short. #authorsky #writersky #booksky

Shout out to House & Hazel for hosting us! I couldn't have asked for a better kick off into a new bookish year! 💛 @leahcutter.bsky.social #booksky #authorsky #bookevent

How do you decide which books to keep/donate? I have a LOT of books, so pruning and carefully growing my library is essential. I try not to go too book buying crazy, but I'm weak for my fellow indies authors' books. #booksky #bookishthings #bookish

Do any other writers or creatives have this problem? I just can't seem to make myself sit down and write unless I've accomplished everything else first. Anyone else? #authorsky

To our listeners and supporters around the world: thank you for sticking with us this past year. We’re excited about what’s ahead and can’t wait to keep going with you. #TheBlackPaper

Unc is more a state of mind, state of wisdom, a state of leadership.

Yesterday, I voted against Trump's illegal war in Iran. Unfortunately, my GOP colleagues chose to cowardly stand with Trump & against the American people. When this comes back to the floor next week, will the GOP continue to bend the knee to the maniac in the WH or stand up for their constituents?

Trump is scrambling to shut down the Kennedy Center after discovering that American artists and performers won't put up with his partisan takeover and unlawful renaming. And let’s be clear: a remodeling job won't restore the Kennedy Center to what it was. A return to artistic independence will.

Excerpt from White Tiger (Belyy tigr; 2012). The film ends with Hitler saying, "But we simply found the courage to carry out what Europe dreamed of doing. They never loved the Jews!" This has an awful ring of truth—& a reason Europe loves Israel today no matter what: it doesn't want the Jews back.
