Yet another story from me about kids screwing with an urban legend they absolutely should not. It's about to get freaky.

You think everything in fiction is real? Think everything the creator depicts mean they agree to it? Are you 5?

I'm currently reading The Cosmic Color (as an ebook) and The Familialists (as a paperback) by @ttmaddenwrites.bsky.social. I'm also hoping to start Dove's Eyes by @kiennwrites.bsky.social ☺️. #samreads.

Have to work my way through TABOO by @lilacperil.bsky.social slowly because every single piece is an absolute fuckin gutpunch and I need time to recover.

Keep getting jumpscared by the newsletters of places I've submitted to.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Writing smuttier monster smut.

just a small portion of what people spend on giant corporations like Disney would change the average indie author/artist/musician/etc.'s life this is why I ask you all to spend money supporting those of us who create outside the system and work to give voice to the things corporate America won't

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

Gormans House is number three in its category in IngramSpark, along with the rest of the Totally Freaked! series. I'm so happy and grateful people are enjoying these books!

if you’re a trans american and following the news right now, it can feel pretty terrifying. that’s because it IS terrifying. just… the number one thing you can do right now is to live as long as humanly possible and make it to the other side of all this. because we WILL win. and that’s how.

Gonna say this very very very slowly The main issue with putting your name on a protest list is not whether the government has your name It is you providing information about where you are/will be That is *legally* actionable

Extremely enjoyed The Crypt of Blood by Jonathan Raab. Felt like staying up late at night, wandering across something I wasn't supposed to find on cable TV. Super atmospheric and creepy.

Michigan-gang, you know what to do. Here's where you can find your state reps. Even if this bill is unlikely to pass, it's important to whip up extreme backlash: www.house.mi.gov

Libraries are great! We love having our books in libraries! We love you checking our books out of libraries! We love when you take advantage of the many other services at your local library!

I know there are some great presses that specialize in this. This is the author you want.

Going on the hunt for a press that'll do novelizations of public domain films because ooh, boy, have I got a weird itch!

Getting hammered

My story in the first issue of NYGEL.

Block anyone who implies it’s crass to try to sell art bc of “Everything Going On.” Motherfuckers there is going to be a LOT going on FOREVER, and artists sell art AS THEIR JOB. Do you go to fuckin McDonalds and scream at the staff “HOW COULD YOU BE MAKING FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME LIKE THIS??” Grow up
