Okay, okay, I give in, it’s 2025 awards eligibility time! I still have December stories coming, which means I cannot yet bring myself to make an extra-fancy graphic or a full long thread, but… until then, I hope you’ll consider reading some of my stories! Will link a couple favorites in the 🧵 (1/4)

This is literally my book 😅

I am so eager to get out there and ruin some workplaces!

Stretch goal 4 unlocked: all Kickstarter backers get all the digital art! One week left to back The Seaglass Blade www.kickstarter.com/projects/jcs...

I made a video to promote this In Defense of Romance panel I'm moderating on 11/22, 2pm, @ B&N Perimeter in ATL w/ @runwithskizzers.bsky.social @julianwinters.bsky.social @delilahsdawson.bsky.social @vanessariley.com We will have free stuff! We'll have a REC LIST & you can buy all the books!

Job hunting with a doctorate in the humanities and excitement about human connection, creativity, and community 🙃

I'm going with one of my recent favorite reads and calling out Haera from The Woman from the Waves, @writingroslyn.bsky.social ! Haera's an each-uisge, a sea-horse, who takes human forms for reasons...

I'm going with @jcsnow.bsky.social's The Phoenix and the Sword, which involves love across multiple lifespans, but only ONE of them remembers! The phoenix is unable to harm anyone, so she also can't protect herself, which makes for a great fighter & healer pairing. #AMoRaR

I am so honored that @blog.readindiefantasy.com featured a review of The Seaglass Blade to kick off their November reading event, A Month of Rain and Reads! #AMoRaR

Yes on 50, Californians! Get those ballots in!

I don't have any scary stories to share for Halloween, but I do have a ghost story! "Handsomest Gentlest" is about the flaming-eyed fiend who stalks the forest of the dead. It's also a story about a boy and his dog. I have been told that it might make you sad. 🖤 www.havenspec.com/handsomest-g...

On Intersex Awareness Day, a shout out and gratitude to Small Luk, intersex human rights activist from Hong Kong. I was lucky enough to have time with her and to hear her story a couple of years ago, and I'll never forget it.

It is International Lesbian Day and no one told me, but yay lesbians! I love us! Also I write lesbian stuff :) with swords and magic, if that's your thing. (It is my thing.)

Thank you, everybody! My Monday morning happiness 🥰 with 106 Kickstarter followers. I did a lot of work on the site this weekend and I think we may have a launch date in October...first chapters going public soon!

I love when the rays come to visit! Thanks for saying hello, friend

This book was absolutely overwhelming, gorgeous, sensual, ecstatic, grieving, complex and memorable. I've never read anything else quite like it and looking forward to reading it again!

This book. I'm looking forward to a long, slow reread: beautiful, sensual, overwhelming, desperate, grieving, lost, found, ecstatic in the deep meaning of the word.

It would definitely make Monday morning better to wake up and see 100 people following my queer epic fantasy kickstarter 🥰 (if you are, you know, into sword lesbians and emotional trauma) www.kickstarter.com/projects/jcs...

Just backed this on kickstarter - looking forward to reading Tom Tomorrow's political commentary, comics style, once again!

This was such a sweet later-in-life sapphic romance, definitely recommend!

We made it to the Renaissance Faire! I felt vaguely like my wife's bodyguard since I ended up in charge of the sword our kid didn't want to carry anymore 🥰

ORPHEUS but make it sapphic with a dash of horror An imprisoned musician must become part of the magical defense of her city, carving a spellmap into her own skin. And as she's tied to the monstrosity of the Line, the woman who's forbidden to love her may be her only hope for freedom. #PreDV #F #A

The uncrossable Line protects the nation from monsters beyond - and an unlucky musician must become part of it, carving the spellmap into her own skin. But the Line is not what she's always believed - and day by day, the spellmap ties her to the monstrosity she'll become. #PreDV #LGBT #OWN #F #A
