ICYMI here's my essay on navigating the queered spaces of fandom, pro writing, and complicity with power

I wrote a book about fascism, the trap of poverty, and how little we care about the military. One editor called it depressing. Another said it needed a hero. Recorded published it as an audio original and a few people have asked for it as an ebook. Here you go, all ten of you: a.co/d/21lgHYP

And I called it “my favorite thing you’ve written so far!”

My psychological suspense/horror novel, Wyndclyffe is out today! Grab it wherever you get your books!

Ask the Agent Q of the Day: What's the scoop with authors saying their publisher's didn't file for copyright for their books? What does that mean? Here's (just about) everything I know about it, in one place: www.tumblr.com/literaticat/...

Happy book birthday to WYNDCLYFFE, by Edgar Award-winner @joehart1.bsky.social! The mysteries of a remote estate lead a young woman down a twisted path in this gripping gothic thriller.
