Post a random GIF and everything will go great in December.

Hey. Whatever you finished in your book today—1 word or 1000, 1 sentence or 1 chapter—I'm proud of you. It's okay if you're not proud of yourself. That's what I'm here for. Keep creating 💜

I missed #FridaySmooch last week due to the holidays, but @sadirastone.bsky.social has given us ICY this week. I switched over to a snippet from book 2 since it takes place around Yule/Winter Solstice. #booksnippet #urbanfantasy #fantasybook #fantasyseries #booksky

I DID IT!! I wrote every day this month. It wasn't the highest output I've ever had in November, but in 30 days I wrote over 20,000 words and have a great start to the next book in my series. #booksky #authorsofbluesky

I was with family all day yesterday and missed #smallbusinesssaturday but all of us indie authors are small businesses—even if we sell through the 'zon—so if you love #urbanfantasy and #Supernatural, embark on this road trip from hell! books2read.com/u/3nRkyP

My newest creation is this pair of semi-preternatural, fabric art earrings featuring red flowers. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered them. The metal is stainless steel and hypoallergenic. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

I couldn't do this indie author thing without all you amazing readers and fellow authors. #THANKYOU #BookSky 📚💙

I'm working on my newsletter for the month (yes yes no time like the last minute, i know, i know) & suddenly wonder: What entices YOU, a potential reader, to newsletters? (mine's here, free Walker Papers/Greywalker crossover story at the link! bookhip.com/CZZCVNT)

Tonight! Seattle horror writers take on ‘autumnal apparitions’ I'll be in the lineup tonight for the quarterly Seasons of Horror reading featuring Seattle writers!

📚💙 Hey, it's #fridaysmooch time! Thanks to @sadirastone.bsky.social for this week's word: DELICIOUS. I had to go to Wild Spirit to find the word...well, it was in Bad Company once, but I didn't think referencing *that* sandwich was the way to go... IYKYK 🍞🕷️🍞 #booksky #fantasybook

I've now heard from 3 authors targeted on X by a scammer impersonating Lois McMaster Bujold. Bujold impersonator refers author to "Eleanor Wood at Spectrum Literary", also an impersonation. Goal: to sell editing svcs. Scam is impersonating multiple authors & agents writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

📚💙 I stopped doing *that* Nov writing challenge a few years ago, but I was stuck getting going on the new book. So I made up my own: to write something—even just a sentence—every day. Yesterday was the halfway point, and I've written 9500 words in those 15 days!!! I'm back, baby!!!!

I spent a gorgeous fall weekend at the Port Gamble Ghost Conference. And I am positively haunted with inspiration and ideas for stories and characters. 100% recommend if you're in the PacNW.

I AM GOING TO A GHOST CONFERENCE THIS WEEKEND! I am ridiculously excited.

From all of us at Eight-Fold Acres #HappyHalloween 🎃

They tear-gassed kids last week.

Once again Oct 30th didn't disappoint! Though it wasn't quite the great Crow Gathering of Oct 30, 2024, my usual morning meet up with 3-5 begging for kibble was instead a raucous pre-Halloween party with easily 15 friends following me for more than five blocks. Good times were had!

I can't believe it's been four years since Bad Company was released into the wild! THANK YOU to everyone who's embarked on the road trip from hell...and then returned to Eight-Fold for the next two stories. I can't wait to share more of Stella's stories with you!

Hey, bluesky fam, a gentle reminder that I have a #ChristmasRomance out next Tuesday! It's a quick read at 11.5K words (about 48 pages in print). Preorder link if interested: books2read.com/u/b5nJDR And for #TropeTuesday if that's a thing... here's what you can find in my novelette:

A reminder that you can donate to Wikipedia to keep human-sourced knowledge accessible.

ugh! Mine was defaulted to on as well...

post a witch 🧹

These books are soooo good! And the new cover is gorgeous!!!

Charlie's updates and advice are well worth a few $ every month!

You might need to grab a cozy blanket for this week's #fridaysmooch! @sadirastone.bsky.social has all all feeling kinda CHILLY this week. 'Tis the spooky season, so I had to use a snippet from Bad Company...BUT Against the Wind takes place during the Winter Solstice and is very chilly indeed!

I’m doing a thing! Join me tomorrow and share a #FridayFling snippet from your WIP or published work. :) We’re staring off with a CRASH. This is 1000% inspired by (but unrelated to!) #FridayKiss. Will I keep going next week? We’ll see! 😂 #Romancelandia #BookSky

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

Who's solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

I'm getting over a cold and it's not exactly a nice day out here...do not need a secondary infection, so I'm sitting out the #nokings protest today... but others in the family are there representing! THANK YOU to everyone out there. Be safe, be aware, be loud!

Love indie books? Have a little to spare? Send Rebecca a coffee or buy one of her books! (or both...both is good)

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Spiderweb bejeweled in dew

All the best parts of spooky season and fantasy combined!

Look at this gorgeous edition!!! 😍

Drop something DEVILISH 😈 🖤 👿

So far today while writing, I have paused at the following word counts: 4242 4343 4444 4554 Apparently I need a quick break to think every 101 words!!! (except for that last one at 110, but close enough)

Me, reading your posts

Did you know I have a book that isn't related to my Almost Like Magic series? This quick cozy fantasy read (less than 100 pages!) is set at Halloween, so perfect for your weekend reads (and the paperback is a wee 4x6" and is so adorable!) www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKS866K1 #fantasybooks #Halloweenbooks
