In November, I published @mxgomez78.bsky.social's sexy sword-and-sorcery tale, "The Sword of Bellerose" in our minizine: ko-fi.com/s/e5c9440194

You would kind of think that the response to lawmakers urging the military to not follow ILLEGAL orders would not be to state that those lawmakers be arrested and executed. But here we are.

A notorious assassin had killed the previous six Archons of Golgotha V. They citizens have conscripted a new one; having failed to protect the previous Archons the new Archon has requested off-planet assistance and you and your ship has been dispatched.

Seen in Boston, Massachusetts in 1854.

Illustration for "Old Moon Quarterly" I've been getting so many cool projects to work on lately, thank you all very much!

Samurai swords, cowboy guns, and prophecy-fueled chaos. Cloud of Sparrows throws 19th-century Japan into a blender with the Wild West. It’s bloody, brainy, and a little messy. But damn, it’s got style. Matsuoka’s debut swings for the fences. 🔗 vikingsvssamurai.com/cloud-of-spa...

Also a good time to check ALL of your Bluesky moderation settings A couple of them were put into "Hide" without my action

Check Out My Latest Short Fiction Releases I've had two new stories published recently. One is at Swords and Sorcery Magazine entitled An Ancient and Terrible Appetite where two veteran monster hunters take on a contract to find a missing noble. If you've read my collection "God in Black Iron,"…

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Really nice to wake up and realize that the world isn't a completely shitty place

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Submitted my novella to Neon Hemlock. Contains desert (and deserted) ruins, blood magic, failed priests, archers, competence kink, and more than a dash of existentialism.

Look at this absolute garbage. I’ve cowritten three books with @vallescurarule.bsky.social that between them contain info, advice, and prompts to write 30 different horror subgenres and tropes. It’s NOT IMPOSSIBLE!! If you want to use AI, you’re NOT A WRITER! Go find another hobby!!

#HorrorWriterschat My collection of various horror comes out on Halloween. I'd love if people took a gander(pre-order). Not all horror is as it seems. Monsters, both human and nonhuman run amok in it's pages. Aliens, werewolves, goblins, bunghole humans? I got you. mybook.to/AllsWell

Two of my poems are out today at Twenty-two Twenty-eight! www.twentytwotwentyeight.com/single-post/...

"The Dash was particularly successful and considered uniquely lucky. But perhaps that in itself tempted fate."

Tempted to call the next inevitable collection either "Various Failures" or "Pulp is a Four Letter Word"

Beautiful comm of dragon Altira done by @/wicksandwheat.bsky.social that I love so much #Altiracomm

I deeply appreciated the chance to write a gnarly little mystery set on Capri, complete with a dead fashion mogul, a shipwreck, and an annoying little dog! #amwriting #mystery

whoa october is around the corner! reminder that we'll be open again for novellas soon. more info here: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

Related to something I posted earlier, for horror October, I advise everyone to have a double feature night with the two best American vampires movies yet: NEAR DARK and SINNERS. They're two very different films, but both put the vampire myth into a purely American context.

Picked up two more rejections on short stories this week. Both were form rejections, which means I can't even tell if there is something flawed in the story that I'm not picking up on or if the pieces just didn't jive with the slush reader(s)/editor(s). Sent both pieces back out.

At night when the bars close down Brandy walks through a slient town And drags a man, across the ground. To ditch him in the bay. She hears him say Brandy you're a fine girl Please don't murder me My life, my lover, my lady, not the sea....

Nothing pleases me more like a kudzu-covered telephone pole on a foggy day

what is a literate ogre's favorite weapon? a book club

My take on something like a 60's American car ad or 80's Italian sportscar poster, but for Kimitoshi Yamane's PERFECT Swordfish II design from Cowboy Bebop.

I feel like sending a cover artist your horrible sketch of your book cover idea is a rite of passage for authors. Bless the artists who tolerate our shitty stick figures and turn them into beautiful creations. #WritingCommunity #IndiePub

Comic inspired by (too many) encounters with those who think writing/illustrating children's picture books are a stepping stone to writing/illustrating REAL books. Thanks to Catherine Bailey for the caption! #KidLitChat #LibrarySky #DebbieOhiComics

My brain spat out a setting idea at lunch, so I wrote it down only to realize that parts are simply rehashing the background material to Thieves' World. I hate my brain some days.

Just more disrespect for real vets.

Here it is. Please share it widely. I didn't do this because I wanted to be safe, but because I am determined not to lose my freedoms without a fight. I'm doing this for you, America. Long live the bill of rights and fuck Charlie Kirk.

Our story submission portal for writers of color is open. Please read the guidelines, as that makes things easier for everyone! Looking forward to seeing your stories. translunartravelerslounge.com/submissions/

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
