OH HEY MY PREORDER IS IN FOR MARY SUE BY @megfitz89.bsky.social illus. by LISA STERLE AND I AM SO EXCITED AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO IT’S A YA LOVE LETTER TO FAN FIC AND IS LIKE REALLY GOOD
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Gee whiz I love saving money but really want to support an indie bookstore,” your time is now! Once Upon A Time is offering 25% off select titles and pre-orders through Tuesday, August 18th, and they’re including The Vanishing Orphans or Alvanor!
B&N is doing another pre-order sale so I put together a little video about why pre-orders matter. On TikTok (@ calliecmiller) and IG (@ TheSuperCallie) I’ve started a series of videos about writing hacks, the professional process, and lots of encouragement because writing is HARD.
Dust jacket alert for The Vanishing Orphans of Alvanor!! @mattschu.bsky.social illustrated this gorgeous cover. It’s SO pretty. I already loved the design but in person it’s STUNNING! Matt perfectly captured the atmosphere and Bandit’s spunk.
Endor has decided to help me with copy edits for THE VANISHING ORPHANS OF ALVANOR, 10/10 assistant.
Loamhedge Legacy Nut Bread from The Redwall Cookbook. I was skeptical about the cayenne pepper but it adds a pleasant warmth! Good and buttery, let’s pack a haversack and go on an adventure. And thus begins my journey to try and take semi-appealing food photos. #redwall
Happy Easter! (Making an effort to not look like a hot chocolate-fueled writer on deadline)
Today’s writing candle. Coffee makes me sick. Decaf makes me sick. But I’ve been missing coffee lately so here we are.
Today only!! Get 20% off a SIGNED copy of THE VANISHING ORPHANS OF ALVANOR when you pre-order through @shoponceuponatime.bsky.social !
“No Mother you work too much! I am helping!” (He only does this when I’m trying to write)
As a kid I had no idea what shrews looked like so I assumed all of the shrews in the Redwall series looked like Sandshrew.
He sat on my lap specifically to prevent me from opening up my laptop and writing.
I’m on deadline for the next week or so but once that’s done let’s goooooo
Oh hi it's me with the very first slapdash Canva graphic for THE VANISHING ORPHANS OF ALVANOR! B&N Members can get 25% off for preordering through Barnes & Noble now through Thursday 3/26! If you'd prefer a signed copy, those can ALWAYS be ordered from @shoponceuponatime.bsky.social instead!
All right y’all I just finished this BRILLIANT new space opera by @mikechenwriter.bsky.social and this book has everything. Complex and interesting characters and relationships. High stakes that are incredibly personal. A dog!
💜💚 Happy Valentine's Day! 💚💜 My gift to you is one of my favorite pages from the Raven and Beast Boy story I wrote last year for DC's Lex and the City Valentine's Day special! Raven just wanted to give BB the perfect day and SOMEONE had to ruin it.
I just ordered a dope tie dye shirt to support The Joy Who Lived, a trans/gnc theater and comedy festival, and you can too! I haven't owned a tie dyed shirt since a fraught girl scout badge attempt in the 90s, very excited for this to come in. www.bonfire.com/joywholived/...
The Trouble with Tribbles is my favorite TOS episode and @aaronmedwards.bsky.social got me the perfect gift?? No Tribbles will be harmed in the drinking of hot chocolate from this mug!
I had an incredible time yesterday as a guest speaker for VCFA’s Art of Play day! I was a panelist, led a breakout room about the various mediums I write for, and was interviewed by Andrew Ramsammy for the Unapologetically Creative podcast. I’m so glad Linda Urban invited me on this adventure!
No cheating, repost with the most recent photo of your pet. (Endor is the chocolate one on the left)
Made gluten-free Twix cookies with a homemade maple caramel sauce and now I’m raiding the kitchen for everything that can be dipped into the leftover caramel.
Endor is unimpressed with me singing “Soda Pop” to him but changing the words to “my little shadow pup” BUT IT’S TRUE
My puppy is definitely not spoiled, he just regularly gets a charcuterie board of training treats.
This was such a lovely wholesome read. Teared up multiple times from the kindness and acceptance and healing the characters experienced. Dan in Green Gables by Rey Terciero (Rex Ogle).
