Claire Winn ⚡️updates, mostly

hey, we did it! 💍🦋 (best wedding EVER, ft. accidental romantasy prince husband, rapier duel first dance, and a sharp greatsword nobody should've given me)

I didn't make one of these last year. But 2025 was pretty great, despite uncertainties. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Toronto, & Chicago with friends, played 3 different LARPs, got some great book news I can't talk about yet, & am working on new things. Here's to a good one, 2026. 🖤

happy #BiVisibilityDay from your neighborhood disaster bi and her disaster bi books (and her upcoming, still-secret disaster bi books 👀) 💗💜💙

🌀 Release day!! 🏹 I’m over the moon to share that my second book, THE PHANTOM KEEPER—about a woman who trades ghosts for limitless power in a deadly bargain with a fallen god—is out in the world today 💙 It’s free to read in KU or available in ebook/paperback! Links in bio 🥰

Got up to some nonsense at DragonCon as Magik, my favorite mutant (her Marvel Rivals version!). I'm a sucker for a feral queer blonde with a giant sword, royal status in hell, and a massive demonic form. ⚔️💛

@katelynmbecker @DuttonBooks @penguinrandom @WMEBooks @WME Omg I love this concept 😆 congrats!!!

✨BOOK DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT✨   I am beyond thrilled to announce that a lifelong dream of mine is finally coming true. My debut novel, THE FANART OF FALLING IN LOVE, has found a home with @DuttonBooks, an imprint of @penguinrandom! 🥳🐧

DragonCon was a riot, as always ⚡ didn't realize how much i needed a weekend of dancing, gaming, and cosplaying with friends!

bday weekend 🎉 saturday was a semi-costumed bar outing after a session of our sci-fi TTRPG game. love this group ❤️

@JVA_writes @dawbooks Aaaah I love it! 😍

✨COVER REVEAL✨ My debut science fantasy, THE DEMON STAR, will be out next July from @dawbooks artist is Kieran Yanner, who could not have done a better job of capturing the vibe and setting of this book!

To their credit, the Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law. But they never foresaw an entire branch of government abdicating oath in favor of partisan complicity and grift, and they certainly never foresaw algorithmic media producing a citizenry so manipulated by obvious deceit.

one year since our romantasy wedding. ~10 years of adventures together. ❤️‍🔥⚔️

date night ~ finally got pics of my FairyLoot editions of Divine Rivals & Ruthless Vows! I loved these books, partially bc they remind me of how my now-husband and I fell for each other: late-night messages, traded manuscripts, & guiding each other through big uncertainties.🎀🖤

@JulesArbeaux 🥰🥰🥰 it's so good! i will keep screaming about it!

So beyond grateful for Claire's incredible blurb and loooooook at the pretty picture I am emotional 🥹

Happy book bday to another incredible queer book I had the pleasure of blurbing, by @JulesArbeaux! 😍🌈 I adored these characters, and this is one of my faves of the year. Pick it up if you're a fan of yearning, hurt/comfort (Sena, my poor soft-boy punching-bag!), and lush prose.

The devs deserved better. Even with all of this pressure, all of the control tactics, they still managed to create something i enjoyed immensely — four playthroughs and i know more in the future. With this talent, imagine if they had the space, the trust, and the resources to REALLY cook. They’d be unstoppable. EA leadership: do better.

COVER REVEAL! 🐺🐻🏹I’m so excited to reveal the cover for my next YA contemporary fantasy, BEAST BECOMES HER!! The gorgeous artwork is by Elena Masci and Greg Stadnyk did the incredible design! Available for preorder now & coming out from @simonteen March 3, 2026.

@JulesArbeaux Happy book bday! 🎊

✨ It's My Book Birthday! ✨ Or it's Tory's and Sena's, anyway. I love these characters with all my heart and am so glad I get to share their story. If an ace hate-to-love story with Captive Prince x Fullmetal alchemist vibes sounds like your thing, check it out!

I did not keep up with my Japan pics on this platform, but here's a few faves 🌸
