Cover art featuring the back of a mohawk-ed head, smoking a cigarette; a yellow door opens into the back of his head, a small person in silhouette peeking through. Text: Sort of a comedy of manners but it's actually a horror of manners and the manners are all for shit. PUNK IS HELL. Drink up and get down with the dreamers, the desperate, the deranged and the damned.

Hey, Canadian readers! You know what would be so lovely? If you would request the paperback and ebook of βSpeculative Shorts: Stories that fell out of my brainβ in your local library. This page should give you all the information you need for a book submission form! Thanks! #BookSky

Folks, the wonderful @authorkaraj.bsky.social needs help for treatments toward one of her pets who needs cancer treatments that are costly. If folks can chip in or boost the signal, every little bit helps ππ»ππ»ππ»
This is a must read for all writers imo.
That is amazing!! I wish I could leapfrog through time and work there LOL

Umm Rochester, NY is getting its very own horror, gothic, and dark fiction bookstore! ππ±π€ The Crimson Quill is planning to open its doors late '26 or early '27, and for now you can support the online shop (which, yes, stocks Tell Me Yours!): bookshop.org/shop/thecrim...
I will pray and send good energy that the surgery next Friday goes well, and the post-op treatment, and that whichever it ends up being, that it goes as smoothly as possible and that she gets tumor-free asap <3
(HUGS) I feel for you on this, Danny.
Workers run the world, not machines. Donβt let them make us forget about each other.
Interesting point!
I sent the survey July 7, 2024.
Since then: executive orders against DEI (Jan 2025) & many other despicable, blatantly messed up things.
Some who would quietly make racist decisions now do so with pride.
Perspective is more important than ever.

Stack of three paperback copies of my horror book with the top one standing upright. The cover is black and features a creepy black-eyed girl with long brown hair. Thatβs actually Molly and sheβs just come back from the woods. Cover made by Fabled Beast Design.

#Booksky, it's #WomenInHorrorMonth & I've got several books currently available.
ONLY DARKNESS is one of them. It's my self-pubbed novel about a cursed family, set in a small town, with a good dose of folk horror & a mysterious entity.

Can't quite believe this needs repeating, but:
If you're using commercialised LLM extruders for any reason - whether it's rewriting an email, deploying a "thinking partner" or doing "research" for your next book...
You are handling stolen goods
You are sanctioning plagiarism
Stop
If you all haven't read this one, here's your chance.
And it's a DELIGHT. A bloody, justice-filled, period-immersive delight.
Brave, beautifully-written essay by my dear friend and incredible writer @sarahjanecody.bsky.social in @electricliterature.com!
Hereβs the thing: being an author, making any kind of art from the heart is a lesson in vulnerability.
Come learn with me! I'm teaching a writing class on "Healing History's Wounds" writingtheother.com/healing-hist...

Oh goodness! I hope that they can remove it soon and that hopefully she will be okay after that (HUGS)

Thank you to @gothgreenwitch.bsky.social for reminding me that the Trans Rights Readathon is coming up! (3-17 to 3-31!) and that while I read works of fellow gender non-conforming and trans folks all year round, it is vital to have this as well π

I'm meeting a few young adult writers at the library today. I've read their work. It wasn't written with chatgpt and it's good!π
I am encountering parents who are encouraging their teens and tweens to write along with adults and older people.
Not catching me say: We're cooked, today!
There's a new @sgj.bsky.social coming out?? AHH! Thank you for the heads-up!
Annnnd pre-ordered.
