I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo. Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

It's only day one and I've already lost my sock. #SeattleWorldCon2025

Hitting my first panel with my fellow authors @gwendolynnix.bsky.social & @sandrarosner.bsky.social! #seattleworldcon2025

Let's go, girls.

Fight the Empire.

Release day happenings: ☑️ Get roses from husband and offspring ☑️"Mama, come and see the lego float I built for your book! It gonna be in a parade!" Cry a little. ☑️ Shout that you should read my book! 📖 Bone Knuckles and the Rose Scavenger is out now! Order here: hedonebooks.com/b/07KbS 🥀💀🫀🥀💀🫀

Probably needed a hug but I wrote this weird book, instead. Or, as a friend called it "repressed aggression." Bone Knuckles and the Rose Scavenger releases May 15. Preorder from the good folxs @hedonebooks

Prepping for Norwescon! If you're in Seattle, come say hi. I'll have books for sale, but I stickers and bookmarks for free. I'm on great panels with some exceptional professionals: Weaving Worlds - Fri Working with an Editor - Fri Reading Bone Knuckles & Rose Scavenger - Fri Writing for Hire - Fri

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

You know who was really good at following protocols for secure communication? Those Navajo Code Talkers that Hegseth had wiped from the Pentagon website.

The rage has built up over the day. How dare you take my years of education, hustle and training, self-doubt, mistakes, lessons learned, and triumphs and turn them into meaningless data points? How dare you take my endeavors and make them your profit?

I am furious to see my creative work and the scientific papers I contributed to have been used by Meta to train their AI without my consent or knowledge. Not only that, but so many authors I've worked with have had their hard work stolen, not to mention author friends and colleagues. It's villainy.

*Waves candy cigarette around* "It's all about opposites attract, sharing longing stares across a grimoire filthy from graveyard dirt, fighting forbidden desire and not just smutty desire but desire to belong and be greater and ascend..." "Umm...we just wanted to know who Bone Knuckles was."

Meet Paige. Obsessed with the Ten Hearts Killer and the mystery of his last victim. But Paige had a secret of her own, one she will guard with her life. Get your hands bloody May 15. Preorders open, ARC spots dwindling, make your Goodreads messy by adding. All from @hedonebooks ☠️ 🌹

"I've seen ten human hearts outside their rib cages." Meet Dahlia, a woman with a dark past and a serial killer as her father. When a mysterious meeting turns her world upside down, she's confronted by a new future and an insidious past. ARC signs ups are open! Out from @hedonebooks on May 15.🥀💀

Pondering the "where my lore started" trend and the actual brain images: Sandra Bullock tasting the whipped spread all over a corpse. "So much for true love!" Ursula screeches, cauldron-brewing the ocean w/ her trident. Furiosa, stabbed, "You drive." Rocky Horror? Please. Like I need to describe it.

Need some fresh flowers? Spruce up your Goodreads shelf by adding this beauty. I love spring cleaning!

She's beauty and she's grace, she's here to eat your face. Bone Knuckles & the Rose Scavenger releases May 15!

Tomorrow, the roses will be cut.

Real reader whiplash is finishing Ice Planet Barbarians and then immediately picking up How To Stand Up to a Dictator.

What will you trade for the truth? Or a new book coming out May 15 full of haunted houses, survivors guilt and a mysterious woman at the heart of it all? All from the indomitable @hedonebooks.bsky.social

New book coming. What will you trade for the truth?

2 insurrections, same President.

THE meme of 2025 for me.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

BIG NEWS! We’re now accepting novel proposals for a Medieval Horror novel! Details below!

This just got announced - I've returned to my roots to help Fighting Fantasy out with its resurgence in licensing. Part time and freelance, returning to Allansia is already proving fun. www.fightingfantasy.com/marc-gascoig...

On a whim I made up one of those starter pack thingies for Aconyte authors, consisting of the folks who write your favourite L5R, Arkham Horror, etc. tie-in fiction. Also, if you're a writer (or an artist) associated with Aconyte and you want to be added, let me know. go.bsky.app/PPc6w8G

Going to not rage post on here out of respect for y’all’s boundaries but damn seeing Biden sit down with Tr*mp today like it’s normal by the crackling fire has broken my soul far more than Louis CK’s used condom being appointed attorney general or whatever

Second night that the wolves have been howling outside. Eerie and cool

Pleased to see Marcy's book on this excellent line up. Her writing is amazing and she's a wonderful author and creator to work with. Congratulations!!!

Aurora borealis! I finally saw it!

A minor book rearrangement ended an hour later with a whole shelf upheaval. And now the book case itself needs reordering...

burned out

I have never in my life learned from another person’s mistakes, I would literally let a giant wooden horse into my house right this second.

Book club junkie, reporting for duty.

Eclipse Day. Don't buy any weird plants today unless you want an Audry 2 situation on your hands.

"A Surprise in Color" by Titus Larson. Location? His mother's work notebook. Thanks, kiddo.

There's nothing like turning on a children's show and listening to the opening theme being sung by Fall Out Boy. Oh, how the times have changed.

Weird experience at the book store today. Spotted all the SJM books shelved in the YA fantasy section with a bookseller note that said, "For readers 18+." So...shouldn't they be in the adult fantasy section?? Guess not! New marketing tactic for my dark fantasy that's actually YA!

Dog rolled in mud and needed a bath. Dog hid under the bed to avoid bath. Toddler desperately wanted to take a bath but when told "No, Celty needs a bath first" collapsed in fury and sorrow. Futile promises of a bath after the dog's were made, but no, Toddler demanded first bath rights. No wins.

Celestial healer. Pirate rogue. Mermen. Fallen angels. A lost book of insurmountable secrets. The Falling Dawn is available now in ebook, paperback and audiobook. Yup, I'm back on my book shit... 😆 🧜‍♂️🌊🔮

Grace Potter killed it last night. I loved her muppet dance, the shedding of the go-go boots to strut around in socks all night, then throwing said socks into the audience. Although the pair was separated, still hilarious Great music, great night.
