Wonder Woman News

Emily Ballaine had a nice review of my book thinking about comics as art and bondage vs. feminism.

Official release date is January 14, but I think the books are starting to be available online and in bookstores. If you get a copy, please consider writing a review for Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, or wherever it’s convenient. Thanks!

Utilitarians Everywhere

At the Atlantic I argued in favor of outrage.

At Ravishly I wrote about:

— Cecilia Grant’s lovely historical Christmas romance A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong.

— how I keep telling my son Santa doesn’t exist and he won’t believe me.

At Splice Today

—I wrote about making a best of list that doesn’t look like me.

—I wished Nicki Minaj would make a great album already.
