This. Precisely this.

Always exciting to hear SJG has another gem coming our way. If you haven't read The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, go grab it!

This September for STONE'S THROW, give us stories of the Earth in revolt. Hundred year storms every other month. Flash flooding. Tornados. Fire-nados. Bee-nados. Shark-nados. How do your characters cope? And do some of them see opportunity in the face of disaster? Submissions open August 1-5.

This is jammed packed with great writers!

Such an incredible book. I would never be able to choose a "number one" @sgj.bsky.social book, but this one is up there for hitting my heart hard. In the best way.

THIS FRIDAY from @rhppress.bsky.social: Read what @jamesdfhannah.bsky.social says about WHATEVER KILLS THE PAIN--stories of heartbreak and hope from Derringer Award winner @cwblackwell.bsky.social. Don't miss picking up this collection. Pre-order your copy today: amzn.to/4nQ5bl7

If you haven't read @robwhart.bay.social Assassins Anonymous, grab it along with the sequel The Medusa Protocol. You won't be disappointed!

This is a heavy hitter list—check it out if you're in the area!

Megan Lucas @meaganlucas.bsky.social is amazing! Looks like another great workshop from Rock and a Hard Place @rhppress.bsky.social .

COMING SOON 👀

After a shaky start of '25, things are looking up! Published two poems in two zines. Submitted one story, and have two more irons in the fire. Manuscript is back on track. Writing group is restarting. Waiting for word on an incredible workshop opportunity. The universe is listening...

Gabino Iglesias is a total powerhouse! Check out his videos that lead up to the release of Zero Saints. Check out The Devil Takes You Home and The House of Bone and Rain while you wait!

Casey has never failed to inspire me. He's in good company in this compelling collection. Preorders are now available!

A little late—but a great reminder to support your indie bookstores everyday! Visit your local shops, or shop online at bookshop.org! #independentbookstoreday #supportindiebookstores

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Glasgow readers - heads up!

Getting my piece ready for submission. I'd be over the moon just to be a finalist in @smokelong.bsky.social Award for Flash Fiction! So many great writers have graced their pages!

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA. The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out. Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding. bit.ly/ProtectLibraryFunding

Mark your calendars! @uabookbans.bsky.social is organizing Right to Read Day on April 7! More info here uniteagainstbookbans.org/right-to-rea...

Just finished reading It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over by Anne De Marcken. A great debut that had me highlighting passages of great prose. This one will stick with me for a while!

Just discovered artist Charles Reyna. His abstract paintings ate bold and inspiring—check out his work!

Check out one of my favorites—Shotgun Honey—here and on the Stack!

I just registered for a seminar with author Laura Dave, read the latest Writers Digest, picked up Patty Smith's book and audio, and did some fact checking in a few databases. Found out there's a writing club that's starting back up, too. Libraries rock! Support yours in any way you can!

Every horror and crime writer is on a watchlist based on our search histories! Finally invested in a VPN.

Check out this great new story from Mike McHone in Shotgun Honey!
