Sorry for being MIA last week! I’ve been working on SECRET PROJECT, so I disappeared into the void. This week I’ll be back with another CAN YOU SURVIVE and possibly a newsletter. On an unrelated note, did you know all my books are on KU? #kindleunlimitedbooks #sapphicauthor #sapphicbooks

While I love that people are supporting queer authors during Pride Month, it’s important to remember that we’re still here once June’s over. Reading queer books is a year-long event 🌈 #pride #pridemonth2026🏳️‍🌈 #queerbooks #queerauthors #queerartists

Next book in our upcoming novella series is @pegasusunder.bsky.social's THESE HOLLOW BODIES. This book sits between cosmic horror and the new weird, exploring a fine art ceramicist encountering the otherworldly at an artist residency while at a fictional, unnamed East African coastal university.

Someone is trying to copyright “Hot Girls Read” and has sent out a bunch of takedown requests to authors, creators, and small businesses. So please take note of this non extensive list of things that belong to me now 💅🏻 #hotgirlsread #copyright #booknews #indieauthor #indiecreator

Hi everyone! My partner and I are currently undergoing massive financial changes and desperately need some help coming up with moving, if anyone is able to assist, we greatly appreciate it! We’re two trans and disabled folks so any help is welcome!

This Pride Month, which means I’m about to be a f*cking menace. On an unrelated note, why not pick up one of my books packed full of: ✨Queer romance ✨Body horror ✨Love that transcends time ✨Trauma #historicalreads #indiehorror #queerauthor #romancerecs

Does it have: - Romance steeped in historical fiction? ✅ - Sapphic love across time? ✅ - Gut wrenching body horror? ✅ Then it has to be ✨It Bubbles Under The Skin✨ #historicalfictionbooks #romancereader #bodyhorror #moodboard

We’re excited because one of us saw a bird and one of us made coffee. Although I won’t say who did what, I will say Diller’s caffeine addiction is getting out of hand 🐦‍⬛☕️ #cats_of_bluesky #indieauthor #adayinmylife🌸 #authorlife

Queen shit: “I’m not resigning,” said Alfonsi, who remains employed at CBS. “If they want me gone because I did my job, they’ll have to fire me.”

“I can’t,” she sobs. “I have to save you. And I can! This time, I can do it.” Marguerite smiles sadly at her. “No matter how many times you try to save me, Claudine. You never will,” Marguerite says firmly. ✨From IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN✨ #historicalfiction #romancebooks #indieauthor #queerbooks

The only thing better than a summer romance is a summer romance steeped in body horror. #sapphicbooks #sapphichorror #queerbooks #indiehorror

Normally, I'd post an update, but it's been kind of a hard week (asthma attack, loss in the family etc). I'll just say thanks for all the support, and if you could help, and/or boost this post, during this difficult time, I would be eternally grateful. www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

COVER REVEAL 🎉 I’m so happy to finally show off the new cover for IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN ⚓️🌸🌊 This book is beautiful, tragic, and full of queer love, and I really wanted to lean into that with this new cover. #sapphichorror #queerbooks #indieauthor #romancebooks

Gotta admit, I absolutely loooooove that KDP removed the callback option from their help centre. If there’s one thing I love, it’s getting absolutely zero assistance from their A-👁️ slop bot 🥲

I am only doing 2 events specific to IT CAME FROM NEVERLAND. This one and one in Chicago. Then, I’m away all summer teaching at writing residencies, attending writing residencies and gearing up for my last semester, Fall, before dissertation defense, and a Fall anthology release. Time moves swiftly.

Now that @barnesandnoble.com is okay with selling AI books, allow me to list a few things I’d rather read than robo-slop 🤖🥣 #indieartist #indieauthor #humanart #queerbookstagram

The Trump administration has targeted NPR, PBS, and their affiliates. The Onion shares tips for supporting public media.

Writing a short paragraph objecting to this idea is quite literally the easiest thing for a bunch of authors. Let’s do it people!

Wouldn’t it be cool if one of my books was getting a new cover? Anyways, on an unrelated note, please enjoy some IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN ✨aesthetics✨ #indieauthorsofinstagram #queer #sapphicbooks #sapphicromance

good practical reflection for artists who feel like whatever theyre making just isnt working is the sit down and VERY HONESTLY ask yourself: what is the gift here? it can be a lot of things. what am i giving to myself? to the world? what feeling? what expression? art that resonates is art that GIVES

We all agree that “Dark Moon: The Blood Altar” feels like Twilight/Vampire Knight/Underworld fanfic, right?

To say I’m proud of this book would be a massive understatement 😭 After a nearly two-year hiatus from writing, I’m excited to send my work back out into the world! LOOSE ENDS is officially out FEBRUARY 2026. Massive thanks to Ross Nischler for this incredible cover 😍

Coming soooooooooooon!

CORRECTION: Cover reveal coming 2025/11/18 🎉

Was I planning on rescuing a cat when I moved to Weifang? No. But when life gives you a crusty, malnourished, ill cat, you take her home, get her healthy, and post her photos 6 weeks later 🐈‍⬛ So meet Diller! As you can clearly see from the photos, her hobbies include sleeping, napping, and resting.

It’s ALWAYS the season for spooky poetry 👻🎃👻🎃

Don’t mind me, I’m only screaming that my poem is in this killer collection 😍 You can read “I Don’t Like That We Have Two Heartbeats” in the @horrorwritersassoc.bsky.social’s XII Poetry Showcase 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Somewhere, a #fujoshi who’s super into #omegavers is crying over what this collection *could* have been 💔💔💔 #fyp #comedyvideo

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD. Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

Look, I’m sure it says “Rough Draft,” and I’m sure it’s full of A+ horror, but the way Google cut off the attachment’s name makes me think it’s a story about a rough night of passion with Mothman.

Find out why this book had David O’Mahony reconsidering seaweed! 🤢 (And massive thanks to @legendsofaukera.bsky.social for the incredible illustrations!) #queerbooks #bodyhorror #indiehorror #sapphicbooks

If you’re pro-AI, you’re invited to pull up to the buffet that is my entire *ss, you absolute 🤡 AI is not ethical. It’s only good for stolen ideas. And the only tool I see is the person who voluntarily uses it.

This book is full of lesbians in love, lesbians in the throes of love, lesbians pinning for their loves, and body horror. It’s a real mixed bag 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏼 #indieauthor #queerbooks #queerbookstagram #wlw #wlwbooks #sapphic #sapphicromance

May I interest you in some WLW fiction with a healthy dose of body horror and a dash of tragic romance? 🌊🩷🔥 If so, make sure to check out IT BUBBLES UNDER THE SKIN 🫧 Available everywhere books are sold~ #queerbooks #wlw #sapphichorror #indiehorror

They are, quite literally, the most talented editor I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Your work can only get better in Nelka’s hands! Sincerely, get their editorial services while they’re criminally underpriced!

Listen, Ghost’s new song—SATANIZED—is incredible and the video is just *chef’s kiss* Unfortunately, I continue to search for Santanized every single fuuuuucking time I go to listen to it 😭

It’s not enough for men to just read women and femmes in horror this month! They should be begging for us to peg them too!!! In this presentation, I’ll be explaining how pegging is actually the first step towards a matriarchal utopia through—

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

More of whatever this is.

Please help my friend Mariah raise funds to find a safe living situation. Her current residence is no longer a safe place to be. Any contribution is appreciated. #mutualaid
