Not only did I finish manuscript 14 today but I found out I’m officially ON SUBMISSION! As a dear friend said, the dream is reality!

I love holidays and I love a theme. Little things that bring joy! 👻

Aaaaaaaa!!

About to read my @apparitionlit.com story at @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social - if people turning into plants so they can be eaten more easily is your jam (pun intended), join us!

Two great takeaways from @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social tonight: From @rukman.bsky.social - community is active, not passive And from a great panel on business (don’t remember who said this!) structure is your friend! Can’t wait for more tomorrow!

What a fun list to be a part of!

The leaves are going orange and the air is just chilly enough that being under a blanket is a treat. Autumn, my beloved, it is divine to see you again.

Ask me anything! But please not the duck horse question.

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered. And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

It me! Come listen to me prattle on about words that start with p!

I’ve got a busy autumn 🍂 and would love to connect with new and old friends! 🍄‍🟫 I’m teaching a @reachyourapex.bsky.social class this week, I’m at @flightsoffoundry.bsky.social later this month, attending Frankfurt Book Fair and @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social in October!

Help us pick what horror movie @retreasure.bsky.social and I watch! You all know I'm a HUGE fan of horror, but Becky not so much. Let's find something amazing for us to watch together!

@lesleyconner.bsky.social is making me watch scary movies

I really enjoyed this read and think about the frustrated, exasperated MC often 😆

We're re-opening to submissions and launching a spoopy kickstarter!

Moksha is back up :)

Moksha is doing scheduled maintenance. Obviously that's our preferred method for receiving subs to the @apexmag.bsky.social flash contest, but if you need to get your story in and the portal is still closed, you can email me at [email protected] with your story.

Almost to 50k, firmly swinging between 5 and 6. Sometimes between paragraphs.

Names matter.

Kicked off July with “Remembery Day” by @sarahpinsker.bsky.social, a short but absolutely tremendous look at societal memory following horrendous conflict, focusing on how it affects the individuals involved www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

looks like 2026 is going to be a double feature! thrilled to announce that the infamous novel that was written in a month, the one that started as a sweat-drenched nightmare, now titled OUR INFINITE AND INEVITABLE ENDS, will be coming to you in fall of 2026 from @ecwpress.bsky.social!

#wip in emojis only! This actually helped me solve a plot problem - share yours! 🆓🇬🇷🏨 ⛵🏝️👻 🇫🇷🏰🎭 🇦🇹👸💞 🇦🇷⛰️⚔️ 🇬🇷👻💔

We’re having an issue with our submissions where some people cannot access the form. If you are among them, email us and we’ll get you a workaround. All that to say, there were a lot of stories in the pile, and it got me reflecting on some of the patterns. All opinions are Crepuscular's only!🧵/?

Love a late summer evening.

Just for accountability, I'm stuck between 2 and 6 daily.

“an unidentified woman with red dreadlocks" snuck into an empty N train at the Broadway station in Astoria and drove it for one stop at four thirty in the morning, presumably just for the sheer joy of it, before vanishing, and I would just like to say congratulations

I killed my first Alexander at seventeen. That was also the age I fell in love, an emotion supposedly beyond my kind." 🔪🦷❤️‍🔥 New excerpt today by @jasonsanford.bsky.social: "We Who Hunt Alexanders" Read it here: www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...
