I'm SO excited to be working with @spottedsnake.bsky.social on THE WORLD BENEATH during this year's WriteHive mentorship program! I was genuinely hooked on this book from the jump, and couldn't stop thinking about it from the moment I started reading. Agents... get ready. This is a good one.

We asked @rhiannonagrist.bsky.social for her best book of 2025, the book she'd love for Xmas & her anticipated read of 2026. Read on https://geni.us/SolarisBks2025 to find out why she picked @joe-hill.bsky.social @laurelhightower.bsky.social @megbontra.bsky.social & more! https://geni.us/homesick

What a better way to start a Monday than with the second part of "A Jam's list to 2026 releases"? Second part of my most awaited titles for 2026 and that I hope to cover in the blog (depending on review copies and all): jamreads.com/articles/a-j... 💙📚

My husband has been reading my latest [REDACTED], and a twist involving his favorite character caught him so off-guard and upset him so much that he told me he's "feeling inspired" to be harsher to my TTRPG characters. I am being PUNISHED.

Author friends - have you ever reached out to old professors/teachers about chatting to their classes? If so, how did you go about doing that? And how did it go? I'd love to yap in the presence of old educators who made me feel like I could do the damn thing, but I don't know where to start!

Such a stacked list!! 2026 is going to be an incredible year for horror. Thank you so much to Jump Scares for including THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD! readjumpscares.com/2026-new-hor...

SO excited to be able to share the US cover of THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD! Coming July 2026, from @orbitbooks.bsky.social Trapped in an underwater cave, a group of academics searching for the cult of the mythical Leviathan learn that the only way out of her ever-changing cloister… is further in. 👀🌊🔪

Hey all! Sorry for the slow movement today — I know I owe folks some emails and such, but someone’s been putting rat poison in my street’s back gardens and my dog got into some. A day at the emergency vet is not conducive to emails. Back at it tomorrow!

My Most Anticipated books list for 2026 - do you share any anticipation for these titles? 💜 Featuring authors @cothillion.bsky.social , @cachaplin.bsky.social , @slhuang.com , @megbontra.bsky.social, & more!

Waiting for #roundtablementor fulls to come in is like perpetual Christmas Eve. Like... hooray! What a fun thing to be waiting for! But also... come into my sweet embrace expeditiously, please <3

I had to send my glasses off to change my prescription, and it's so dire without them that I'm sitting here at the tender hour of 8:19 am with my prescription sunglasses on because I just truly cannot see a thing. A bad time to be so unflaggingly sucked into like five books at once 😅

happy pride month!

I hear that if y'all like cover reveals for cool aquatic cosmic horror books, you should keep an eye on the @orbitbooks.bsky.social socials on December 5.... 👀🌊🗡️🖤

I would like to attend this masterclass with N.K. Jemisin but 50$ USD is not affordable for me. Scholarships appear to be only for folks in the Philadelphia area… so, I’m asking the community for help. It’s a luxury, but i know id learn a lot. ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman/

THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD is now available for preorder in the US! Barnes & Noble, Target, and other major retailers — but don’t forget to support your local indies, too ;)

SO thrilled to be a WriteHive mentor for another year! Yes, you're counting right - I'm a part of 2 mentorship programs this year! Double the fun, y'all! My MSWL is, as ever, very loose. This is so that you don't self-reject, and so that you don't pigeon-hole yourself into not applying. Just do it!

In the immortal words of Caduceus Clay.... help, it's again ✨ Surprise! I'm going to be a part of TWO mentorship programs this year! I've loved working with WriteHive both in the conference and as a past mentor, and I couldn't be happier to be here once again. Mentor MSWLs on the website!

One of my conservative family members self-published a book about being a pastor, and the whole family is going NUTS about having “an author in the fam” while I’m over here, a godless heathen, clearly not an author 🤪

Three more days—count ’em! Mentees, are you ready?

[REDACTED 🧛⛪🌹🔪😈] book core

My current WIP is for all the Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny apologists, and the Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny apologists ONLY.

Thank you! Hey everyone, am an indigenous trans artist in the global south, in perpetual housing insecurity; also permanently disabled with nerve damage that impacts my movement. Id absolutely love if you guys could like my work, or buy a print or send me a tip 🌼 (comments)

Being an artist

Like, yes, I know that I have like four deadlines bearing down on me from all directions, but I'm also very sick and very pitiful and I think that means I should be allowed to replay all the Dragon Age games from the beginning starting right now

In honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we would like to share our workshop at @writehive.bsky.social ‘s annual writing conference about how Writing to Heal helped us in surviving and coping with our trauma and how you can use it to help you.

WOOHOOOO! I'm so excited to be joining the Round Table Mentor team this year. MSWLs will go up shortly. We're going to have a blast, y'all!

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

Listen. I never do this. But I can't resist the urge. I just. Just. 👀

Why would I use chatGPT when I can just add “reddit” at the end of my question and get a post from like 2008 that specifically answers my question

It's been so nice to actually take my time with this WIP, rather than blacking out and drafting it in a month, only to be so burnt out by the experience that I can't form full sentences after the fact. Funny how that works!

The day that I can write Dragon Age IP is the day none of you ever hear from me again. I will go so deep into my hyperfixation black hole that I will come out the other side IN Thedas. Please and ma serannas, y'all.

I had a dream last night that I wrote my Old West 'Beowulf' retelling, but my favorite high school lit teacher read it, marked it up like an essay, and sent it back to me. And then his notes went viral - not the book. The notes. A win for the Mr. Clinton that lives in my imagination, I guess?
