Sofia calls. “We’re in love,” she says. I picture love: They must be next to each other in bed. They must be feeding each other small cakes. They are definitely fucking constantly. They must be warm. Outside, the city starts a cold rain. I curl into bed alone. @sarahroseetter

Happy Pub Day, book: You lived in my head for a long time and it’s great and scary and strange to have you out in the world. So grateful to @legroff for her early (the earliest!) praise, calling #thevexations "a gorgeous, sensitive, deeply immersive novel."

Pretty sure this is the first fiction I ever published. Hats off to you, Hot Metal Bridge, for letting me weird.
Lu has a disease where she cannot touch other people’s skin, so she leaves early each morning to hunt beavers because beaver fur, like all animal fur, is the only sort of tenderness she can bear. --Cure and Tender by @MouthFullofFire #fiction hotmetalbridge.org/cure-and-…
