A.T. Rainach 🥀🖤 TAOLF - Nov 2026!

someone pinch me? I can finally say it without spontaneously combusting: THE ART OF LIVING FOREVER is officially coming from @orbitbooks ! What began as the strangest dream I’ve ever had has turned into my first book—and now my debut novel. It only took 15 years & approximately one million terrible drafts to get here... (more in comments)

Hi everyone! I have some NEWS. Street Team Sign-Ups Coming Soon! atrainach.com/2026/03/22/str…

@LexiHeathermoor Sending big hugs 🖤🖤🖤

I don’t share too much of this kind of thing here (people can be pretty cruel, y’know) but I’ve sat with it all day and it felt right to try. Loving an addict is complex. Having one as your parent, even more so. As most who’ve been in my shoes can attest, you don’t lose them all at once. Little by little, the cackling laughter, kitchen dance parties, and highway karaoke are overshadowed by endless arguments, pleas for change, and the eventual decision to sever the cord to protect what’s left of your sanity. The silence that follows is so loud, it says more than they ever could’ve to your face. Yet, when news of their death comes out of the blue on a random Monday afternoon, it still cuts you off at the knees and snatches the air right from your chest. A heartbreak so intense, it feels like you just might join them. Today marks 5 years since I lost my mom, and my warring emotions are just as volatile now as they were back then. I grieve the mom I caught glimpses of once upon a time, and the version of me who didn’t know the world I was growing up in wasn’t normal. I cry over the future that lies ahead without her, but also over the fact that the mom I’m grieving is one she’d never have been for me. One she never was. It’s a confusing dichotomy of loss and relief, an eternal argument of whether I’m missing her, or the mom I wished she could be. The sadness is there, but its very existence feels like a lie. Because how can you be sad over losing someone who causes you so much misery? Either way, deathaversaries suck and I’m glad to have this community to share it with. ❤️🫶🏻

@LexiHeathermoor This is the perfect gif 😂

@ATRainach I know. Like, who would dare to dislike ME?! (Just kidding, but still)

Spent a chunk of time looking around for new author friends to follow and found a romance writer who blocked me. I mean, I know I can be annoying, but damn, I didn’t think it was that serious. Ya girl is petty though, so she caught a block right back. 🙅🏼‍♀️

Query tips as I power through my queries! *completely subjective opinions and what I specifically want to see* Unique hooks: I keep seeing the same formulas for similar types of stories. I need to know how *yours* stands out from everybody else.

@VLBilstein Awwww as a mom of twins I love this 🥰 the bond you guys share is so special!

As a twin myself it always has me so emotional when I arrange for someone to be buried with their twin in the same cemetery plot 🥹 it’s happened so many times in my career and is such a common request ❤️ #funeraldirector

@LexiHeathermoor Yaaas Friday! I have the same plans! 🙌

Blessed BE, we made it to Friday on the week that never ends. I can't wait to put on my comfies and cement myself to my desk in hopes of plowing through the rest of these mafia edits. If I don't have to put on real shoes until Monday, I will consider it a success.
