Such a fantastic review of my sun-vampire cult novella, SUNBATHERS! I didn't intend it to be so prescient at the time, but here we all are. What a fun era to be alive. Obviously I can't spoil the ending but... let's just say I think it's worth reading the book in our current climate (pun intended)

"Why are you using Twitter X?" That continues to be my first question to some potential clients looking for a social media manager. Because I need to know why. After everything that has happened, why would you want to be connected to...that?

The ruff collar had its heyday from 1560 CE to 1630 CE. Fashionable with all but the lowest social classes, the size and complexity of the ruff usually reflected the wearer’s wealth and social standing. In #ThePlanarPages Elizabethan fashion still leads the way in Restless Rise, home of humans.

I only found out there was a Audible sale after seeing my bookscan numbers for The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet suddenly jump by several hundred 🤣 nobody tells me anything. So, grab a copy for 99 cents if you've got a US account! The narrator (Clare Corbett) does an absolutely cracking job.

Long term followers will know I sometimes run Q&A sessions for aspiring authors. I've been a traditionally published author for 20 years and I've written 23 books. I'm also an editor for an independent press. If you have a question, make sure you're following me and ask in the comments below.

Finished reading SNAKE-EATER by T. Kingfisher. That “meep meep…” line? Perfection 💅 IYKYK

Although not the first to invent them (shoutout to Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia), the Romans perfected aqueducts, expanding their use across their Republic and Empire from 312 BCE to 226 CE. In #ThePlanarPages a similar Empire exists in Kerus, home of beastfolk: smilodon, elephas, and ursidon.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

It took me 5 minutes to enter Disposable Magic. As a 3-time entrant who hasn't advanced past the first round, I have low expectations, but at worst you'll get a few more eyes on your book. At best, a LOT. Careers have been made. Think of it as a free lottery ticket for book publicity!

When you choose indie sapphic romance over trad published romance, you get an actual gay female protagonist who doesn't just kiss one girl then choose the boy. You get a wildly imaginative story that would never pass through a traditional publishing house. www.patreon.com/ddwardiswrit...

For 2026 let’s remind ourselves what really matters: weird fiction

Tradwife is one of my top reads from last year, and has just been suppressed by Amazon. Please support this awesome indie book. I’m SO frustrated on TC’s behalf. The book isn’t even extreme horror. It’s a brilliant fictional true crime murder mystery about a Tradwife cult. 📚💙 📚🏳️‍🌈
