Just watched the latest John Oliver show where he spoke on public shaming, interviewing the incredibly articulate @MonicaLewinsky When the scandal broke out, I remember my dad's anger at how this young girl was being hounded and victim-blamed. Let's do better now.

A special tip from me to all who find this a confusing concept: Unless your opinion was solicited, no author wants you to come up to them at an event and tell them everything you hated about their book. I thought this happening was an urban legend. I was disabused of that notion

Slavic Book News! The Bone Roots is out October 2023! It was born out of my fascination with the visceral nature of motherhood. It is a dark, literary-leaning story about two mothers and how far they are willing to go to protect their children.

Consistency in writing is paramount. a page every day is better than 30 pages once a month. Also read a lot. Always. Also try things you don’t expect to enjoy, you might surprise yourself, and expand your horizons. #ukteenchat
