  1. A quick mention for anyone who hasn't found the newsletter yet — it's where I share what's happening with the books, what's coming up, and the occasional piece of writing life news that doesn't make it onto social media.

    It also comes with a free copy of Disjointed Lives when you sign up. A good read for a September weekend.

  2. 📚 CW: online scams, impersonation

    Seeing a rise in scam accounts on Goodreads and other bookish platforms — new profiles with no reviews, no shared books, and flirty DMs targeting women.

    One even used a photo of Paul Hollywood. (My friend told him not to bother unless he brought baked goods. He didn’t.)

    I wrote a PSA about spotting these scammers, with red flags, a laugh, and a few hard truths.

    ✨ You are not too smart or too seasoned to be targeted. But you can be ready.
