🍄 ART REVEAL 🍄‍🟫 One of the best decisions we made for The Book of Spores anthology was commissioning illustrations by @jennicoutts.bsky.social, and we’re so thrilled to reveal the first of 3 drawings, “Fia in the Archive”!!!

He’s not SFF, but any time Dennis Lehane puts out new media—whether it’s a book or a new show—I become insufferable about it for a minimum of six months. #SFFChat

I guess I’ll pull this absolute beast off my shelf and take a look 👀 #SFFChat

Here is another one that I am really excited for, The Bone Door by @franceswrites.bsky.social. I think it came out yesterday and it's gonna be my next audio listen. I LOVED Voyage of the Damned by her that came out a couple of years ago.

Me, fucking around: oh I’m making such great progress on editing this chapter, I’ll finish the rest at a cafe as a ~little treat~ Me, finding out: I forgot how horny this scene gets and now I am flipping through these pages IN PUBLIC 💀

A book that feels equal parts gaslamp and grimdark. Beautiful prose, incredible storytelling, and a uniquely crafted world make this a must-read for all fans of fantasy and even mystery! #FanFiAddict @krystlematar.bsky.social fanfiaddict.com/review-legac...

Hype train starts HERE 😍

the most recent meme in your camera roll describes your current mental state …yeah

I am an author. I have two books and short stories in three anthologies so far. I craft sentences and themes and words with intention and careful consideration. I also had to look up how many days there are in a year because I forgot.

This book was so good, friends! If you want a little bite of decadent gothic horror, come peek at my review and then go snag a copy of ON SUNDAYS SHE PICKED FLOWERS 👇👇👇

When I knocked over my entire pot of coffee this morning I promised myself I wouldn’t be dramatic about it and wouldn’t let it ruin my day. And then I noticed that the fridge/freezer had stopped working over night and almost everything is thawed 😩 it seems drama is on the schedule no matter what!

On Sundays She Picked Flowers by Yah Yah Scholfield opens with such stark violence, but written with such beauty, that I knew I was going to be hooked.

Friends, could you help me share this Kickstarter? It’s doing well but I need to extend its reach: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

Well since the career change didn't pan out, I have to go back to making art as a living so here we go opening comms for March and April! Please reach out through e-mail only: [email protected] Here's the price sheet (and some example of past pieces in the next post) RTs are always helpful!

For IN THE SHADOW OF MY BRIGHT FUTURE, the magic comes from mushrooms, but the raw mushroom is way too powerful for humans to process so they distill it into alcohol. Of course, this magic infused booze is illegal, and thus the plot kicks into gear 🥂🍄

I have selected a notebook from my Notebook Stash and have started brainstorming 🫢

I would like to get started brainstorming on this to see if I can make it into a short story, but I cannot for I am deathly ill* *I have a sinus cold and my face hurts 🤧

I’m sorry, BlueSky. After months of neglecting my platform here, I decided to post my silly little book idea and then the whole app promptly broke. I can only assume it’s my fault.

What if I wrote a portal fantasy/chosen one story, but from the POV of the mother of the teenager who is “chosen” and is fighting tooth and nail to get her kid back

You know how I know I must be making good progress on my WIP? I just had a banger idea for a totally separate book.

I'm joining over 200 #IndieAuthors this weekend for the @narratess.com indie book sale! From April 11 - 13, browse indie titles across fantasy, sci-fi, and horror: indiebook.sale #BookSky

Galactic adventure on sale now!

Who has books in the Narratess Indie Sale? If that's you, share your social media-sized "about my book" below! There are some incredible books included, readers! I'm going to spoil myself! #booksky #NarratessIndieSale #indiebooks #indieauthors

UNDISCOVERED: sometimes truth is stranger than folktales. stubbornly optimistic sci-fi meets lush multisensory prose like in Starless Sea, with Shetland selkies, Shakespeare references, steamy-sweet romance, and Spanglish.

The Narratess Indie Sale starts today! For the next three days, 280+ books will be on sale, available for $1.99 or less. Even if you're on a budget or book buying ban, you can still grab the free ebooks (those don't count for your buying ban, because you're spending money!) indiebook.sale

All of this world building and character arc stuff is really getting in the way of what I want to write most (Frankie Zane making a horrifically long sequence of the worst decisions possible)

The Book of Spores fungal anthology in all its paperback glory!!! We’re seriously so proud of this project and how it’s coming together 🍄❤️

It’s still surreal that Frankie Zane’s first story exists thanks to the BoS team 🥹 If you want a little tease of the Prohibition era fantasy + psychotropic mushroom magic world that I’ve been yapping about, along with SO MANY other fungal SFFH stories, you should grab a copy of Book of Spores ASAP!

I turn 40 this week (eep! 😅) and would love a share of my pinned (or any of my posts below!) as a birthday thing! Normally I feel bad about milking a birthday for promo, but . . . honestly who cares. I'm tired and the world sucks. 🤣

Another amazing blurb for THE BOOK OF SPORES fungal anthology! A huge thank you to @scottpalmerauthor.bsky.social for reading the collection, and even more so for the high praise 🍄 The Book of Spores is available TODAY in eBook: the-book-of-spores-a-fungal-sff-anthology.pledgebox.com/preorder

"It corrupts the youth--" My Brother in Christ, the youth are watching the entire government shuffle their feet while a babbling racist bombs Iranian children. You want to stop bad influences? Ban war. Don't let sex criminals be president. Fund school lunches.

This is gonna be a scene in IN THE SHADOW OF MY BRIGHT FUTURE when they go dig up [spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler] after the antagonist buries [spoiler spoiler] 🪏

There’s so many 1920s themed fantasy novels coming out lately (or coming out soon) and I am so excited. Am I?? Am I on trend??? Here’s hoping I can get IN THE SHADOW OF MY BRIGHT FUTURE ready to go to ride the wave!

We’re so back baby!! I really struggled to get back in the swing of writing through March after taking a break to do a much needed kitchen reno, but on Tuesday something really clicked and it feels so good 😭 I might actually finish IN THE SHADOW OF MY BRIGHT FUTURE over the next couple of months!!

My favourite thing about chocolate Easter bunnies is listening to my children negotiate which body part they want to eat. The 13yo really likes the face and the 10yo respects that.
