"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." but what if the object of your anger turns out not to be the object of your desires after all? what if it's his little sister?? WHOOPS (this chaos is available now to pre-order)

So...I've lined up some author events. Have an awful ad where I announce them. Including my first ever out of state event! (Thank you @bailswrites.bsky.social 💚) Random people unrelated. You'll get real ads soon as one of these is next weekend. Maybe on the real ads.

Late to announcing this here, but I’m so excited to be participating in TORMENT: A Gothic Anthology organized by @ardentgrove.bsky.social and packed with amazing authors! Can’t wait for y’all to read these 🥀 Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... ARC Signup form: forms.gle/K5hZ8gA33BB7...

One of our local bookstores is in need of support: donate if you can or share this around! I know the folks here at this store and they're all kind and passionate members of the Denton community. Help out an indie bookstore and pillar of our community!

My spouse asked me to draw some art for her upcoming vampire short story so I was happy to oblique. #art #digitalart #vampire

I’ve been so busy with bookstore and grad classes starting again that I have not been around here much at all. But I’m alive! Here is proof via my void kitty, Mara. If you also want to use this as an I’m Alive checkpoint, pls feel free to post pet pics below!

LAUNCHING SOON: EXQUISITE UNDEAD, AN ANTHOLOGY OF VAMPIRES 🦇 I am SO excited to finally announce this! EXQUISITE UNDEAD is coming to Kickstarter on April 1, and pending successful funding, will begin accpeting submissions June 1 for publication in 2027. More info soon! 🤭

I have tiny TBR space and would love to hear about something/someone new if possible. Please send recommendations for... Short stories, preferably by marginalized authors. Bonus points for very high heat and/or horror. Cozy horror will get you a medal. Self-pub always preferred but not required.

Did I mention Women of Xal I and II have polyamory? As well as the ace/gay/straight options? And you can play the first game for free just to see how it works in practice? ' v' And that um, if the Kickstarter for the second one fails, we have to limit features? www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro...

If you use Discord and want to tell them how you feel about them adding AI tools, here's a link to the survey. Share it far & wide. Let them know we don't want it. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Sorry, folks. Seven days to go and 50% funded. We'll need a modern internet miracle to see these lovely ladies get their sequel. I was always worried that the visuals were not appealing to most VN gamers, but... ouch www.kickstarter.com/projects/pro... #indiegame #Kickstarter #Gaming #pcgame #free

I watched Alien Earth finally and really liked it! Now starting Predator Badlands and why are there so many alien romance tropes happening in this FILM

Alright. My 2026 goal is to sell 250 books this year. That's averaging just over 20 a month. Want to support your local trans femme sci-fi author? Have I got some links for you! payhip.com/anotherindie... ko-fi.com/anotherindie... anotherindiewriter.itch.io www.kobo.com/us/en/author...

OH HEY IT'S A BIG BUNDLE OF BOOKS YOU SHOULD BUY THEM AND READ THEM BECAUSE BOOKS ARE AWESOME

I officially revealed the cover for my upcoming dystopian novella via patreon, Kofi, and discord on Thursday. Now, I am delighted to introduce it here.

Happy January, y'all! I'm ringing in the New Year with a title and cover reveal for my cyberpunk Snow White retelling. If you want to see it earlier than everyone else, subscribe to my newsletter and you'll get it in your email first thing next week 🤩 Sign up here: bit.ly/AEBrossAutho...

and for my next trick, I'll magically turn this idea for a standalone novel into a series that spans ??? amount of books

I fear I can’t stop thinking about The Summer Hikaru Died 😔

Someone who bought I Know You’re Still in There in store from me a couple weeks ago came back in today and said it was terrifying so that was lovely 🥰

How about we finish off the year by announcing the release date of my next book? Of Bards and Quests and Falling In Love will be out September 2026!! www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Back on my bullshit again of drawing fanart of His Unexpected series by @bailswrites.bsky.social #art #bookcharacter #paranormalromance #book

Hey, #writingcommunity... What's one big writing goal you want to accomplish in 2026?? I'd like to start cheering you on immediately, please and thanks 💜

Name your favorite film that nobody else knows about. I could pull a lot of international horror films for this one, but The Witch Part 1 and 2 had me so hooked and no one I know has heard of them. (pls make a part 3 I am begging)

A couple that came into Plot Twist Cafe today and bought 9 books between them told me that they had gone to 2 other bookstores before mine and didn’t see anything they wanted. So basically I won bookstore 🤷🏼‍♀️

I made my chalkboard sign wintry :)

Woke up from a nap remembering how I got kicked + blocked from the 20BooksTo50k group because I suggested that AI was not the future we should strive for as writers in an “open discussion” on AI. And then one of their key speakers started talking about wanted to release 10k AI books in a year. Whew

I need to work on edits for my gothic anthology piece and finish drafting Bloody Lamb, but my brain is telling me to plot another synthwave vibey horror novella 🥲

I got a lovely envelope in the mail yesterday from @bailswrites.bsky.social I’m so excited to visit The Plot Twist Cafe soon!!

Would you like to buy books that were not written, edited, created, or anything with genAI? I have three of them. I can even shittily draw in them if you order paperbacks from me. Paperbacks: ko-fi.com/anotherindie... Ebooks: anotherindiewriter.itch.io

I am Tired™ but I’m so grateful for every ounce of help we receive. Please boost if you can! #HelpSky 💕💸

So, I lost another grandparent today. The truth is, I am blessed to have so many amazing grandparents. My parents have both been remarried since I was young, and my stepmom came with even more extras bc of her own remarried parents. But with that comes more loss, and it’s been a lot in one year.

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

I’ve addressed so many envelopes and boxes today and I still have so many to go 😭 I’ve also watched the entire LOTR trilogy and Hobbit trilogy 2-4 times each in the past week between final essays and Kickstarter packaging 🤪 RIP my spouse and any other film he might want to watch.

Coming across my grandma’s name in Kickstarter as I pack up rewards is hitting me harder than I expected. She was supposed to be here for all of this.

Very difficult vet visit today. Arthritic senior mare may not be with me much longer, and goofy gelding has cancer. If just 25 people joined my author membership at kitauthor.com/muse-happens for $5/mo I could afford meds without worry. You get lots of goodies including short stories & discounts.

I think about this tweet exchange every time I write a grad paper. Anyway I'm halfway through a bottle of final paper wine and @jstor.bsky.social I love you foreverrrrrr <3

Spent my bday weekend opening Plot Twist Cafe! It was wonderful and I am so grateful to everyone who helped spread the word and make this happen. I wish I could relax now, but instead I have grad finals. Maybe after all this I can breathe?

I was busy for most of the day and it barely felt like a birthday but at least I have leftover meatball sub
