In full disclosure, I forgot it was Friday, even though I’m doing all the things one would do on a Friday. Sorrrrry! Park Jimin released an album last night, I saw Ateez in human form, our nation is apparently like “hey Hulk Hogan has things to say”… look my brain can only hold so much.
So what are ya’ll watching? I’m double fisting His Man 2 and 3 and finding Sweet Mobsters very deep voiced and adorable.

She is doing Twinkling Watermelon with special guests Sarah and Grace (Patreon members and hosts of Afternoona Asks). Post reactions, questions, thoughts, and vibes in the thread below! Time travel and family feels for the win.
Special hugs to Grace (and Lisa also here in Patreon) who I got to see in human form at my first ever bookstore signing last night. Thanks so much for coming out and it made everything better seeing you—even di...

What are you all watching? Megan’s influenced my viewing choices with His Man 3 (which has me by the throat) and now My Sweet Mobster.
Let’s hear it!

I took a quick Thai BL break with the new Off/Gun The Trainee before finishing the last few Midnight Romance and then I might start The Red Sleeve unless someone is like “No! You must watch xxx!”
I’m in Michigan for my mom’s surprise birthday week so only watching before bed at the moment. I’m really wanting some Noona romance tropes and also...

Live in Bay Area? Come see me (Lia) on July 16th at 6:30 at Books Inc, Alameda for a fun multi-author chat on Sports Romance.
Yes my last official author image is from when I had bangs. No I haven’t taken a new one in five years. I’ll add to my to-do list lol!

Megan and I had a successful meet up in NYC: yes we got a little dewy (the humidity gave me quite a glow as seen here lol), walked kids over nine miles in a day, nearly lost the maknae in a Central Pond lake, ate a LOT of delicious food, learned you can’t buy soju in a Manhattan H-Mart and took what is unequivocally a ferry. Thank you for making me feel super competent in my navigational skills, Megan!
We did end up doing a recording while flat on our backs in my hotel bed after a h...

Here is a pic of me at HarperCollins with my agent Emily and my editor Allie! We had good lunch talking all things re. romance tropes and story ideas. I was on two hours of sleep so it made me less shy in person which is good!

I forgot it was Wednesday until I got notified the podcast dropped 🤡
I’m flying out on a red-eye to NYC tonight and trying to get all my loose ends tied up. At this point I’m willing to accept most ends at least half-tied. My house is currently a construction zone due to some fun winter water damage, and if I don’t start writing Chapter 2 of my next book on the plane then I’m going to be entering a situation.
But in two days I’ll be with Megan!!!!!! And tomorrow I ge...

Nicole W. (From Canada) will be in Europe for the Paralympic Games and to hang around a bit afterward. She and I contacted a bunch of our European patreon members we knew to gauge interest in an EU meetup in Amsterdam! She, Heather C.K., and I have booked our travel and hotels for ourselves. If others are in Europe and want to meet us, we will be there September 13 (Friday) to September 16.
Get in touch with her if interested!!!

No promises as I’m only there for a few days for tacked on fun days and then have full on work ones but what’s a thing you’d like to see/have answers to/ want me to do so you can satisfy your curiosity about?

Thanks to everyone who came out…it was a true delight to see your faces and a little surreal as I felt as if we all have hung out before—guess because we do here and on Zoom!
Let’s do it again.
Megan and Amy also have FOMO and so talks are underway to organize a bigger in-person meetup in 2025. What do you think? Live recording and group hang? 🧐🧐🧐

I’m not sure how I remembered it was Friday. I’m in the middle of my university’s spring move out and summer move in, book edits/stuff, and Jin from BTS coming out of military (got up at 4am to watch his return event). For real, I’ve lost touch with space and time. I’m behind on everything—including drama watching—and I’m working hard at not feeling guilty or stress and just keep swimming! Much to look forward to, including: seeing some of your faces in San Francisco on Sunday...
