Pride Month starts soon and for the first time I have a very queer book out during it. I wish I could go back in time, to Danai on their first Pride Parade as an “ally”, wondering why they felt more at home than anywhere. “I know why,” I would whisper, then give them a copy of Vile Lady Villains.

A handy burnout timeline, for anyone who needs it: Phase 1: Inspiration/joy block. You can still do your necessary tasks but anything extra and anything creative feels sapped, empty. You think some sleep can fix it.

New interview with Danai Christopoulou about VILE LADY VILLAINS! "So Klytemnestra and Lady Macbeth had always been favorites of mine, and growing up I started seeing the parallels between their characters, how they were almost an allegory for female ambition and power." @danaiwrites.bsky.social

Epic hopepunk? Yes! #ABillionPaperStars is #onsub and gaining speed, and one day you will be able to meet Eleanor Close. Just hope you don't meet her in a dark futuristic alley.

Oh my gosh 😱 Privileged enough to be reading it RIGHT NOW. The first few chapters are out of this world, people. I'm hypnotized. What? What? WHAT? The characters are gripping, the prose is masterful, the atmosphere is creepy as hell! 🔥🔥🔥

My writing process? I like to keep my words trapped underneath my ribs until the pressure gets unbearable, like the pecking of beaks on bone, upon which point they burst out in tenebrous murmuration, slashing the skies. Sure, the process involves some light dismemberment but what can you do.

Shameless follow up to say that if you enjoyed this, chances are you will enjoy VILE LADY VILLAINS — where this particular thing may or may not happen to one of the characters. I’d be so grateful if you preordered it www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...

While writing the dedication for VILE LADY VILLAINS I wondered: should I make it inspiring… or petty? But if I only got this one book, this one chance, I wanted to do both. Something hopefully inspiring. Something arguably petty. Because this book, and me, aspire to be both.

Thank you so much to @locusmag.bsky.social for sharing the news about VILE LADY VILLAINS going to the US in their July issue! I’ve been a fan of Locus and all they do for many years, and it’s been one of my author dreams to see my name featured in this magazine (in any capacity, I’m not picky!) 🖤
