New Review - to the short fiction shelves I go and a look at the latest Interzone was a lot of fun www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/5/...

Backgrounds/layouts are secretly my real love for art... but I don't draw them enough since the big money is in characters. Going to do some more photo studies the next couple of months, though. Along with learning furries + mechs.

Behold the grass-fed Writing Staffies! (Jax may have also consumed part of a dead field mouse. We don’t judge.)

JAPANESE GOTHIC by Kylie Lee Baker – Review The nitty-gritty: A mind-bending, bloody mystery, Japanese Gothic blends time travel and folklore into an emotional and heartbreaking story. Japanese Gothic is one of the most unique stories I’ve read in a long time, and Kylie Lee Baker has become a new…

Haha, ok wow. It's nice to know I'm in great company! Obligatory "check out my bandcamp" I write queer Aussie idiot plot - that quintessential mode of being Australian. I have a crowdfunding campaign for the first 3 books going live in May. Chuck it a follow to be notified if ya like ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I know not to try and be sarcastic on Reddit. It never ends well. Yet sometimes I just can't help myself. I find writing /s vaguely deflating, so instead I propose spearheading the ⸮ into common usage. The irony mark is the Lady Danbury of punctuation. We need it! Now more than ever.

Still one of my favorite pieces

I always say I’m too lazy for parasocial relationships. Except there is an author I had dinner with ONCE, along with a couple of other readers, years ago and I think ‘oh, hey friend!’. So I’m not too lazy for parasocial relationships, I just don’t put any effort into my parasocial relationships?

I am always tempted to use 'In a publishing first!' when I post about a new book/a re-cover/anything I do. OK, people have published books before but THIS is the first time that I have published THIS BOOK. That's three publishing firsts for the price of one!

Shinagawa Sta. (2023)

Me, an intellectual, talking about themes and analogies and diegesis: And that, of course, is what drives me to try and bring my vision of this story to the world. Also me, writing the grumpy one hate-loving the sunshine one's stupid, beautiful, dumb smile: hehehehehe...and then they gonna kiss.

Character: Help! Help! I'm being oppressed! Me, stuffing them back into a van: Ignore them. They're fine. Everyone's fine. Everything's fine. They bring these things on themselves!

Unpopular opinion: I should give more side characters in my books their own stories. (Popular opinion, actually. At least according to readers!)

Readers complain about kept on the edge with a slow burn romance in a series, but think of the authors! We LIVE with these lovelorn idiots!

"What was better, the book or the..." It's the book. It's always the book. Until the day someone gives me an MCU budget and free rein with the script/casting? It's ALWAYS going to be the book.

You know those covers where there is just a dragon doing a fly by on the cover? No hate, btw! But every time I see one I always think how funny it would be if there was NO dragon. You read the whole book, get to the end are then - in gentle bewilderment - check the cover for the dragon cos…

You know those classy, old school maps that you see in fantasy books? The topographic ones? My version of those is a tourist maps of the seediest places in the towns my books are set in.

I would never read the last page first...but I imagine those who do would be absolutely confuzzled when they jumped back to page 1. Like, how do they get to Z from here? This isn't even a letter! :D

The bad guy in my current WIP is a problem. He gets all the good snark by virtue of being a jackass...the good guys are just not mean spirited enough! #writerlife #badguy #writing

I'm not saying that I could do the Double Dutch Bus viral dance thing. I am saying that, in my heart of hearts, I really believe I could..despite the fact I'm not graceful, co-ordinated, or good at following directions. ...frankly it's dancing in my pants at Girl Guides all over again.

The next book I'm contracted to write is sort of a post-dark-academia anti-romance gruesome magical revolution with several deaths on and around the barricades and it does not even have a title yet, wish me luck (but if I can pull this off I cannot WAIT to read it)

High Tide 🌊 ✨ A piece in my ongoing series of paintings called ‘A Starry Place’

Every time I get a new edit I sit down with the absolute confidence of experience, open the file, and go...“I spelled DOOR wrong? WTH?"

Writing romantic tension is wild because one minute they are at a crime scene nudging me: “we could totally kiss! Let’s get to the kissing!”. I get to the kissing and they’re all, “we should talk.”. I mean, sure. But right now? Ok, couldn’t just talk at the crime scene.

It's a special sort of high you fix a narrative snarl with one clean, surgical line of text. Or the low when you realize you now have 102 minor edits to make and track.

Fave Five: F/F Bodyguard Romances Saving the Star by Rachel Bowdler Cover Story by Rachel Lacey Seas and Greetings by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone Guarded Desires by Anna Stone The Bodyguard Affair by Anna Stone and Hildred Billings Bonus: These are all contemporary, but for Historical Fantasy,…

It's not that I CAN'T plot. It's just that I sit down with a nice, bullet-pointed plan, get bored, and my brain goes, ”...I mean, if you WANT, we can just emotionally devastate everyone in a one mile radius?" ...and you can't bullet point surprise emotional devastation!

Me driving down the road with a full, committed to publishing plan for the year: *singing along to the radio* my brain: “What if we plot out a whole new series while we’re here.” Me: “We have a schedule.” My brain: “Good one.” Anyway… guess who has to find a slot somewhere for this roadside trash!

I would have had to follow them. Just tailed them like it was my job, befriend them the next time they stop, ply them with chicharron, and find out their story.

Just reading that makes me feel like very methodically and neatly removing my own skin to crawl out of it.

When I was a kid my friend was Catholic. She used to make up sins to confess at Church, then she’d tag on the end that ‘also I lied to a priest’. It was the perfect plan!

This is true! Luckily for me I am difficult enough to get on with that none of them want me. Ask me about how I got kicked out of Scientology! Or Presbyterianism!

Me and Bru Baker when they bring the para to the table!

I just saw an excerpt of Tim Curry’s memoir that includes him talking about the affair he had with Miss Piggy on the set of Muppet Treasure Island. I am so delighted.

When life gives you a milk frother for Christmas it would be RUDE not to froth at every opportunity. 🤣😎🤣☕️
