interviewer: Do you ever get book ideas from dreams? me: I did, once in 2010 while bingeing Buffy. That idea became Wicked as They Come. But last night I dreamed a flying possum dropped a little girl, and when she hit the ground she turned into a Cabbage Patch Kid stuffed with fine cheeses, so--

I have found Carousel Instagram. Bye, fellas, it was nice to know ye.

Does anybody else ever get that feeling that other cats are dainty and demure and reasonable, while your cat is, for no real reason, a Super Mega Grody Dumper Who Does Enormous Dookies on the Daily?

All I want is a ticket to Masquerade during NYCC during one of my open time slots. That, and a book deal. And also the sale of some movie rights. And, honestly, some cake. But that's it.

HOUSE OF IDYLL by Delilah S. Dawson - Review @delilahsdawson.bsky.social

Wake up, babe, new hair just dropped.

Just a double reminder-- Writers, this negging garbage was written by AI and designed to insult you, flatter you, dare you, and scam you. Scammers, this is embarrassingly badly done. Quit it.

4 of my books are currently on an e-book sale, and you should totally buy all of them! IWOHFA: atmospheric, gothic horror at an artists' colony Guillotine: if you're mad at billionaires... Hit: teen bounty hunter forced to work off mother's medical debt The Violence: maybe my best book?

Find out why I'm NUTS FOR BOOKS when you read an advance copy of my upcoming small town cozy witch Romance, Books & Bewitchment! www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

1. I write a lol post about that time I emailed 4 psychiatrists and 1 tattoo artist as self care. 2. The post goes viral in a way that does not help my writing career AT ALL. 3. I get occasional pings. 4. I have learned from a @iamthirtyaf.bsky.social post that Harrison Ford likes cross stitching.

New author interview with @delilahsdawson.bsky.social now LIVE! We chat about her most recent release, House of Idyll, some of her other novellas, the social horror implemented, and the true cost of fame/recognition. Huge thanks to Delilah for her time, and links to listen below!

At @scalzi.com 's The Big Idea, @delilahsdawson.bsky.social talks about Thor & Loki: Epic Tales from Marvel Mythology whatever.scalzi.com/2025/09/22/t...

Tomorrow!!! I am thrilled to be sharing my conversation with the very cool, very brilliant @delilahsdawson.bsky.social! We chat about House of Idyll (on shelves now), the texture of the book, its rapid pacing, and so much more. Check back tomorrow for the links!

I had tofu vegetable soup at a Thai restaurant the other day and have been craving it ever since, but the recipes online are all vastly different. Thus I bought veg, threw it in water, and boiled it with salt until it gave up. Did you guys know you can just... make veggie broth?? Incredible.

If you like cozy, witchy Romance stories set in small Georgia mountain towns that include talking cockatoos, I've got the perfect Goodreads giveaway for you: www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Y'all win. I printed them both. Except the AF one has a squirrel on it now. Be on the lookout for a preorder campaign if you want these special stickers!

Okay, which of these two stickers would be better for my upcoming small town witchy Romance, Books & Bewitchment? Like, which one would you actually put on your laptop or water bottle?

Late last night, while watching Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, I made a logo for the bookstore in Books & Bewitchment, my upcoming cozy witch Romance, out in February under the name Isla Jewell. Is this cute, or was I, as they say in Clueless, buggin'?

Here's the NYCC schedule so far. There could be more. We'll see. 🤞

Okay, book question: What job provides insurance and is within reach for someone with no experience while not being front-facing to the public or offering an environment where someone would bond with work friends? Basically, for an introvert who doesn't want to be known/perceived, what could she do?

Behold! My second hand-forged knife, this one with a purpleheart handle. What should we name it? (And thanks to @alexwhite.bsky.social for continuing mentorship and forge time!)

I just finished this one! It was great! And the cover definitely deserves to be seen. #MGHorror

I don't know how this happened, and I don't know why the cover isn't there, but RIDE OR DIE hit the USA Today list!!!??!! Beloveds, this is a big deal. I love this book so much, and I'm so proud that apparently kids (and adults!) are connecting with it.

Having finished @delilahsdawson.bsky.social's House of Idyll last night, I will never see unicorns the same now. A great read!

Does anyone want cozy YA? I'm totally in love with this idea-- cottagecore, cozy, sweet, Over the Garden Wall meets Frog and Toad with a romance-- and what I'm hearing is that Romantasy is the only current acceptable way to go. I don't want it. I want knobbly sweaters and warm bread, dammit.

I have just realized, after the biggest travel month of my life, that I have ANOTHER book out tomorrow. Please buy my Thor & Loki book. And after that, I'm on social media hiatus, because my little rabbit brain wasn't meant for *gesticulates* all this. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/delil...

New book review! Thankyou @delilahsdawson.bsky.social and @titanbooks.bsky.social! open.substack.com/pub/catsbook...

Book haul from new Brooklyn horror bookstore The Twisted Spine (The @delilahsdawson.bsky.social book is signed!)

me, a pro writer who has literally written an X-Files comic, attempting to say something thoughtful and erudite: Sculder and Mully

Tonight I'll be at The Twisted Spine in Brooklyn to chat with @brooklynhorror.bsky.social about House of Idyll and all sorts of other lovely, Horror-y things! Hope to see y'all there! And I'll be wearing my blood dress!

HUGE thanks to everyone who came out to @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social last night to chat about House of Idyll! And to my pal @chuckwendig.bsky.social, who really knows how to make a conversation partner shine. And to the booksellers who made it happen and get our books into eager hands. Much love!

We kicked off our September event series tonight with the incredible @DelilahSDawson.bsky.social, joined in conversation by @chuckwendig.bsky.social, to celebrate her newest book HOUSE OF IDYLL. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support - and, of course, to the wonderful authors.

@victoriastrauss.com Just sent a message to Writer Beware but thought I'd put it on your radar over here: www.excalibrewritershub.com Everything about this feels so shady, including the fact that there are no names attached and that they're claiming I opted into their mailing list.

After a not so great day, there’s nothing better than going to an event where I get a wtf peg? from @chuckwendig.bsky.social because I admitted to never reading @delilahsdawson.bsky.social before! But, I did read House of Idyll and it was in a word AMAZING! Such a great conversation!

I just finished House of Idyll by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social, and DAMN. Go read it. Fandom people who were into popslash and enjoyed Flesh Mechanic, you ESPECIALLY should go read it.

@delilahsdawson.bsky.social really knows how to paint a picture with her words. Her descriptions are so vivid I can see everything in specific detail. Any book that combines horror and music is right up my alley. House of Idyll was pure perfection, utterly enjoyable, and super creepy!

Ahhhh I forgot to post all the amazing books that came out today! Happy pub day! @manylittlewords.bsky.social @comptonwrites.bsky.social @delilahsdawson.bsky.social @ericlarocca.bsky.social @claymcleod.bsky.social @keithrosson.bsky.social @rachelharrison.bsky.social @ajwhiteauthor.bsky.social #books
