Like, yes, I would love to step away from social media, but I have a book out in four days and kinda need to be available. It's wild how authors used to sit at the typewriter w/o the rabid need to be present online & self promote. Anyway, pls preorder Books & Bewitchment while I breathe into a bag.

I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle! I describe it as like if How To Train Your Dragon was a traditional fairy tale. Kinda cozy but with teeth!

#SFFChat WINGS IN THE VALLEY is out now (with a cover by Arden Powell)! I want to get DOGWOOD preorder links up this fall/winter but we'll see :)

#Critterary Bugs? You've summoned the call of Prof. Whispers of entomology! Also an invertebrate, but that's because he's a cactus dryad. In my published books are the sky horn beetle and passion fly (moth). In my WIP, I'm making gloom spiders! Bug facts below! 1/2

John has really been through it this year to a point that makes me wonder how life can dump so much on one person so relentlessly. If you’d like (and are able to) help out, here are some links. Hang in there, John. We love you.

All I’m saying is give me a mid-sized budget and calling in some favors I will make the hornist condemnation of imperial consumption version of Dorian Grey you’ve ever imagined. 100% trans synth artists remixing Elgar soundtrack guaranteed

Knowing my friends, we'd all fight to get the pp tin y stick.

When I was six I hid inside a stage between our school gym and the lunchroom during recess. I had no friends, so I read books. I then started doing this all the time, one I read was Clive Barker “Thief of Always”. I did this until I got in trouble. It’s a fond memory. #booksky #memories

And I'm not just asking you to support books because I'm an author (though I would obviously love if you bought *my* books) I'm asking because stories are an essential part of the human experience & books are one of the most powerful ways to share them

Shit is fucking *dire* for a lot of authors Yes, including a lot of authors whose works you know and love, authors who you think MUST be doing well because their books are so good I know shit's dire for a lot of other folks too but please, if you can, support authors & books

the most unrealistic thing about The Pitt is all the sandwiches being handed out. I have been in the ER numerous times and motherfucker there has never been a free sandwich

Yay! I got proofs back from IngramSpark for the new edition of Smoke and Steel in paperback! They look good and so you can now snag them everywhere. If you're in the US, you can use this link to get it for $12.99 (basically at-cost) shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

What might seem like a frivolous BUY MY BOOK post could be someone whose entire livelihood and family depends on the next royalty check or advance, all of which depend on the books they can move *right now*. So it's not actually frivolous. We interview for our job every year. It is never a given.

I’m going to be shutting my shop down for the day and providing links to places where you can put your money instead. Do what you can, keep pushing

This is art from 2023 of Morgan from Hymn of Memory, but I have it as a little pin stuck to my bulletin board at work and it always makes me smile. I'm still really proud of Hymn of Memory in general as my first self published work! You should check it out! 🌻 books.earlronove.com/hymnofmemory

Please help with a share. It makes all the difference.

Seriously! All of this can put wind under otherwise stagnant sails.

I put stickers on my new (to me) laptop

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not. Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends. We are angry, feral, and tired. Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

#SFFChat Outro: Thanks again for hosting! Honestly, I'd just like to share my books. www.rebeccareyeswriting.com

Y'all should read more fantasy

One of the most highlighted quotes: "She knew she should awaken and go back to the house, but the dreamscape was too sublime to surrender, slipping into the rippling tides of cosmic infinity and embracing the shadow, never minding whether the sweets of the day would pay for the pains of the morrow."

I am still running it, though! Starting this Monday, you will be able to get Nerezia 1 through 6 at a 33% each, or to grab them all at $2 / novella. So if you want a joyful & epic queer fantasy adventure, mark your calendars! 👀 itch.io/s/178663/los...

Shout out to the Parks Canada staff for the tremendous job they've done in training the Bison of Elk Island National Park! #wildlife

comparing GenAI to the Thing is actually fucking brilliant because that is what Gen AI. just this thing that forces its way into everything, this god damn abomination that wont leave you alone and seeks to take everything for itself

Still out of work, need help with rent and food. Any help appreciated, please share around if you can. Thank you

Hey! The eBook of my novel "The Rewilding" is back on Kindle Unlimited. www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTZ76ZNG

this is just the one fundamental problem i have with AI that isnt even ethical. Its too convenient, so it entices laziness. even if AI was god damn ethical free, i wouldnt use it for this reason. because convenience in art i think is more of a hindrance than a help.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh man, he looks so devastatingly *cool* with that cigarette. YOU - “How did you get so cool, Kim?”

Getting him a selfie stick was my best idea yet.

COOL COOL COOL COOL. you draw a nude fictional woman too short or you do sex work and you get debanked, but you plug enough CSAM into your ai training data that the NCMEC gets flooded with "more than 1 million reports of AI-related CSAM in 2025" and hey, thats just the cost of bizness bay bee

So! #MagicaRiotFullBloomSpoilers! For those of you who have read Full Bloom, you'll know some big things happen to a certain girl by the end of the book! We haven't had an official look at her afterward, though…until now! Here's Bloom's new robot body look, designed by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.
