A little birdie (and by that I mean my good friend @pachoulifishart.bsky.social ) told me that The Bookery in Manchester, NH is stocking The Warm Machine in paperback! So if you're in the area, checking out the mighty fine artworks in Cat Alley, you should stop in and grab a copy. :D

Re-upping this one. While there's plenty of real danger, the regime's leaning on ominous proclamations lately for a reason and it ain't because they have the level of widespread control and acceptance they wanted.

New State of the Metacosm up on the site! Got some cool stuff about to expire (like Lesbians in Space 2 which ends Sept 30th!) and I talk a bit about where I am in burnout recovery and the progress we've made on Everdark Redux Take Fifteen. www.metacosmchronicles.com/2025/09/22/s...

we are MIGHTY MIGHTY INDIES!!!!

ART CONTEST!!! It's the Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day ART CONTEST brought to you by Assigned Media!! That's right, you heard us.

ICYMI: I have two new pieces out on Medium that I adore and would love for you to check out! Links below! vico-whitmore.medium.com/legacy-f0b8e... vico-whitmore.medium.com/the-graveles...

I must not discourse. Discourse is the mind-killer. Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Check this bundle out!!

I missed TBB this year but hopefully you'll see me next year, and in the meantime check out my writing (and a bunch of other super cool writers, some of whom ARE in TBB!) in this Itch bundle, free for only the next few days! itch.io/b/3272/free-... #TBBChat #BookSky #WriteSky

Thanks for hosting #TBBChat, it was a blast!! My debut series, The Hero Rebellion is almost 10 years old and to celebrate, I'm making a special edition. If you like kickarse heroines, high-stakes sci-fi, alien worlds, psychic bonds & ancient conspiracies, come check it out! #BookBazaar25 #scifi

#TBBCHAT I'd love to shout out @ghostsintheburbs.bsky.social she's got the cozy spookies covered with 3 novels and a great podcast! Also @xiranjayzhao.bsky.social and the epic Sci-fi Iron Widow series!

That was fun! Thank you for hosting! I don’t have much to promote besides my dragon site, it’s much easier to promote than a book. It could use more (FREE) subscribers I share many many stories on there from my space dragon series 🐉 dragonshortstories.wordpress.com #tbbchat

I don't have my own book to promote, but some of the details other people have posting while chatting sounded really cool. But check out @wjameschan.bsky.social, @willowzane.bsky.social, Greenthorne by Alec Ireson, and of course our host, @spookyxpickle.bsky.social #TBBChat

Absolutely! My MC from Graft has a magical ability she's been trying to keep secret, so for her being in the woods away from other people feels very safe (at least until she starts having run-ins with monsters). Even that pales in comparison to plant-magic-wielding Andras, though. #TBBChat

This has been a lot of fun! thanks so much for hosting! You can find my work over on Medium. Links to my two most recent posts there are below, and I hope you'll check them out! #TBBChat medium.com/@vico-whitmo... medium.com/@vico-whitmo...

Given that one of my books is named Honeycomb Heart and I just got a bee tattoo, I think you know what I'm legally required to say 😂 But I also enjoy a good luna or poodle moth, fuzzy tarantula, orchid mantis... any charismatic-looking bug so long as they are not on my person. #TBBChat #BookBazaar25

#TBBChat Morrow ends up getting inhabited by a parasitic river god, with the mashed up appearance of multiple animals that rely on a rivers ecosystem (as well as some fun bugs), so very much so yes! Morrow is also a Druid, which comes with a lot of knowledge needed about the local animals and beasts

Well the story involves her developing a connection, so I'd say yes to both questions. I was interested in how it'd feel to be let outside after a lifetime of being trapped inside and, conversely, how it would feel to then go back. Would the inside space feel more or less safe than before? #TBBChat

Hey #TBBChat. I'm Belinda, Aussie sci-fi, fantasy and UF author. I write action-packed, genre-mashing tales of rebellion, power and heroines who never apologise for burning the rule-book. When I'm not breaking tropes, I'm riding horses or feeding my cdrama addiction. #sff #BookBazaar25

I like chimeras - less the specific combo of lion/goat/snake and more the concept of a hybrid being. Nobody is ever just one thing, and we inherit from the people, groups, and places we came from even if we eventually separate from them. So I guess I find them visually cool, and relatable 😂 #TBBChat

I was actually talking to someone about this yesterday, but one of my fav fairy tales is Snow White. idk why really, i just kind of enjoy the structure. I have an ancient draft of a genderbent comedy version called "Bro White" that one day i will come back to. #tbbchat

Hi #TBBChat !! I'm Hazel, currently working on a fantasy horror book, along with some short stories brewing in the background. I also do SFF illustrations, and I have a big love for the Ancient Celts and creepy crawlies

Greetings again friends, it's another #TBBchat! Val here again as always putting Lesbians in Situations. Looking forward to learning more about everybody's stories :)

#TBBChat Q1: What is your favorite folklore or fairy tale? One story that's always stuck with me is Pandora's Box, and her curiosity getting the better of her. As someone who's always been too curious, that story sparked something with me. And of all things, I learned of it from a video game.

I'm usually not a spider person, but California has some very cute little jumping spiders. I saw a baby one the other day on our back patio and as soon as I saw him he started hopping for the hills. So freaking cute. #TBBchat

Hey #TBBChat! I'm Aimee, currently writing scifi, also writing urban sff, also a dark art sff illustrator! Excited to participate in this chatterooni

Hellooooooo #TBBChat! I am Matthew, crafter of stories. Fantasy, Horror, Thriller, with some darker threads woven throughout. A handful of shorts and two novel(la)s out there, I'm looking to provide the escapes that reading books gave me, to others. I also love to tinker, bake, and make jam.

I love Little Ida's Flowers. I found it forever ago in a Hans Christian Andersen collection, and it's about a little girl who sees flowers come to life and have a royal ball. #TBBchat

Hi, there! I'm Vico, and I write non-fiction, essays, satire, and book reviews. My writing varies wildly from serious psych discussions to irreverent and a little bit gross (okay a lot gross), and that's just the way I like it. #TBBchat

I forgot that Legacy and Graveless Dead are live now and also forgot how fucking good they are. Please go read this one and also mark your calendar for Oct. 15th when the most fucked up thing I've ever written will drop. #amwriting medium.com/@vico-whitmo...

I just finished Lou Sullivan's diaries and got to put him on the shelf between Mercury Stardust and Mia Violet. I think he'd like it there. Everything is awful. We are still so lucky. I'm glad that I'm at least doing this after Lou, when none of us have to be quite so alone.

Took a hike today and saw these beauties. Whole tree was covered in them. #FungiFriends #mushrooms

We deserve some joy. We deserve some FAT BEARS. NEXT WEEK NEXT WEEK!!!! Go Grazer Go you absolute unit! www.npr.org/2025/09/19/n...
