for the past several years I have been quietly writing novels while distracting you with novellas, and this year/early next year they are all coming out in a row! Here's the timeline:

went to the Rosalía concert last night and I think I'm obsessed with her now

great news! thank you to everyone who read/bought/chatted/came to events!

I can't post my wall of graphics on bluesky but I have tour conversation partners! Come join us. Honestly can't wait to talk to all of these people. veronicarothbooks.com/tour for more info!

without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

They’re flowering at last!

AHAHAHA

Driving home from the in laws' last night* *I was not the one driving

Great news! Seek the Traitor's Son is a May 2026 Indie Next pick! A giant thank you to booksellers for supporting this book! I am thrilled, if you couldn't tell by all these exclamation points! ❤️

Visiting my parents in the warmth.

Seek the Traitor's Son has gotten TWO starred reviews, from Kirkus and Library Journal, and I feel very proud/honored/delighted by this.

Husband let the dog out, went outside with her to keep her company. She didn't do anything. Came back in. She immediately pooped in the shower. Kinda hard to be mad at this face though. (Poop censored.)

I am way too proud of this (the game is here: colormatching.vercel.app)

Nobody warned me she’d get so much cuter as she got older

And in the UK! in July!

Going on tour for Seek the Traitor's Son in May! Come say hi! veronicarothbooks.com/tour

I just want you guys to know that my dog is sweet and perfect and has never done anything wrong in her entire life

Fa la la la

I AM TRIUMPHANT. SHE IS FINISHED.

Is it a rug sample or is it a tiny oasis of softness placed there specifically for this dog?

Me totally running out of gas today coincided with me reaching THIS PART of the book which is...cruel of my brain. So cruel.

if, in this holiday season, you find yourself reflecting on the experience of going home to your family and discovering for the first or the millionth time that you see the world in fundamentally different and irreconcilable ways, perhaps upsettingly so, i have a book recommendation for you.

oddly reassured (? not the right word but you get it) by this quote from Lilly Wachowski about the right's claiming of The Matrix, given some of the Divergent misinterpretations I've encountered over the last fifteen years variety.com/2025/film/ne...

it's called THE DEEP TUNNEL it's designed to reduce flooding

Convincing you to read my novel(la) with the first sentence (okay, paragraph and a half.) This is from TO CLUTCH A RAZOR.

I looked up "ghouls" and what do you know
