Some of the books on offer at @ghoststoryfest.bsky.social this weekend

Just finished the #Folklore in #Fiction panel at @ghoststoryfest.bsky.social at #QUADDerby @folklorepod.bsky.social @kristinaadams.bsky.social @franwritesstuff.bsky.social @alexdavis1981.bsky.social #GhostStory #ghost #BookSky🩵📚

Writing a poem and cooking a special meal are two creative acts that have a lot in common. Both involve craft and alchemy. Both end with the release of the finished product for other people's pleasure.

A paranormal cosy vampire murder mystery. With ghosts, witches, and a judgmental dog (based on mine). Out 6 March! #BookSky

Here it is! The cover for my next book 😍🔥 Out 6 March #BookSky

Psst! Keep an eye out on Monday night UK time for the cover of the next Afterlife Calls book, The Dead Man’s Blood. Out 6 March. Available to preorder now: books2read.com/thedeadmansblood (Or if you’re on my email list check your email 😉) #indieauthor #coverreveal

Research shows that teams that are more diverse deliver better results, because they are less likely to suffer from group-think. Heterosexual couples win when a woman earns more and isn't fired due to pregnancy. USPS is one of the largest employers of Black Americans. All of this is now threatened.

I have reported on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in various fields for several years. DEIA just means acknowledging how systems have discriminated against different groups of people—in many cases for several decades—and strategic efforts to give those people jobs and opportunities.

My debut #poetry collection is out noooow

Just a lil reminder today 🩵

‘Unprecedented’ rise in abortion prosecutions prompts call for law change from medical leaders

Money won’t fill the gaping hole in your soul

Do I have 2 books up for preorder as of 5 minutes ago? Yes, yes I do. Will they both be live by my birthday in March? Yup 😉

My debut #poetry collection is out next month! I’m so excited to finally publish it 🥳

I’ve officially hit the preorder button on my first #poetry collection 🥳 It feels like someone else wrote those poems. They reflect parts of my life (and myself) that are long gone. But I’m proud of how they turned out. I hope the themes of heartbreak, female rage, and hope resonate with readers 🥰

Every beta reader has referred to my next novel as 'comforting' which is exactly the vibe I was going for 🥰 Right now, I think we all need it (including this author when #writing said book)

I wasn’t going to do any #writing, editing, or other book-related tasks over the festive break. But having relieved myself of the pressure to do it I find myself wanting to edit my next book 🤔

Wondering what to get your favourite writer for Christmas? Not that I’m saying it’s me (🥹) but nothing says I love you like a quick review or recommendation to another book lover. Well, chocolate is also good but an online review you can write from your phone is probably easier ❤️🌲❤️

Kate Bush joins campaign against AI using artists’ work without permission

We are calling for celebrities, publishers and agents to acknowledge the writers behind celebrity books, and calling for evidence from members with experiences of ghostwriting. Read more and take our short survey here👇 societyofauthors.org/2024/12/09/c...

Who are your favourite people to follow on here so far?

Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

It’s about time I did an intro post, so here goes: Hi! I’m Kristina. I’m a 30-something indie author who writes about ghosts and celebrities (not in the same book. Yet). I have too many chronic health issues to count and talk about my dog a lot 👋

Your daily reminder that all art is political. Don’t expect the artists to be ciphers. We write what we do for a reason.
