Tickled lavender to be amongst the finalists selected by @goldencrownls.bsky.social folks for my debut #gothichorror novel "Pearl Bound" #sapphicgothic 💙📚 #pearlbound #booksky Congrats to all my fellow nominees! 🏳️‍🌈

Just a few pics from yesterday's No King's March in #CulverCity - it's a great reminder that there are millions of us who are not going to lie down and get rolled over by this batshit crazy orange turd.

Not a book post today...just a human one. My beloved mother passed away 3 wks ago. This weekend we celebrated our oldest daughter's birthday and I made her favorite #Pavlova - one of my mom's #classicrecipes (a meringue with whipped cream and fresh fruit piled high). Sweet memories.

New cover for #PearlBound What do you think? Leaned harder into the horror this time power / blood / hunger / survival feels closer to my vision for the story. 🙏 @clintenglish.bsky.social #booksky 📚💙 #horrorwriter #sapphichorror #gothichorror

My beautiful mother Kitty passed away several days ago - the level of grieving when losing a mother is primal.

How Elon Musk Uses "Fraud" to Dismantle the U.S. Government The word isn’t meant to describe reality—it’s a tool to justify regime change from democracy to oligarchy. Thanks to TimothySnyder for his substack article on this. Here’s how it works:

"Fraud"

For all my fellow writers out there in the trenches looking to query and find the ideal agent - see below for guidance from the #MSWL folks. #writingcommunity

Great horror writing reveals deep fears, social anxieties & personal traumas. It pushes boundaries, explores power, survival & identity. To craft lingering horror, focus on atmosphere, psychological dread, & character-driven terror. We need to care about those facing the nightmare. #WritingHorror

The brushfire in Temescal Canyon has exploded - over 30,000 people evacuated so far...the Palisades area is devastated & w/ wind gusts throughout the night, the area of evacuation is rapidly expanding. Many iconic places destroyed. Heartbroken for friends & our community. #palifire #climatechange

Happy holidays y’all. May the light and love of the holiday season be carried into the new year.

In my happy place #palmsprings peaceful and joyful little blue bubble of tranquility.

I can't resist a fun disaster film or tv show so I have to give a shout out to "La Palma" (2024, Norway), a gripping #naturaldisaster mini-series set in the Canary Islands. Dove right into impending volcanic chaos. And did i mention a queer subplot? #storytelling #Screenwriting #VisualStorytelling

Sad but true.

Thank God Vanity Fair is keeping it REAL!

Add SoonShiong to the endless parade of oligarchs pandering and taking the knee to the Orange Menace. It’s gonna be an endless 4 years of this crap. I was a devout subscriber to the @latimes.com for decades. Sigh.

Writer Toolkit-Part 4: Hot 🔥 vs. Cold ❄️ Writing Emotion doesn’t need hyperbole. 🔥 “She screamed, trembling in fear.” vs ❄️ “She clenched her fist, knuckles blanching.” Cold writing lets readers feel the heat, drawing them in through subtlety and collaboration. #booksky #storytelling #ScriptTips
