One of my early beta readers complained that I had a nonbinary vampire character (even though I write explicitly queer books) because it wasn't realistic for 1948. 1/3

Idiots fleeing Vegas, falling in love, and finding their ride-or-dies. 😈 Queer urban fantasy 😈 Polyamorous relationship 😈 road trip turned quest 😈 camper van with an attitude 😈 found family 😈 sexy goth assassin 😈 humour, heart, and a dash of spice geni.us/calling-of-t...

Went to London a couple of weeks ago to throw my mum in the river (it's what she would've wanted), and visited The Prospect of Whitby, a pub on the Thames that is more than twice as old as the U.S. It's where I set the opening scene of Two Souls & a Pocket Watch, a MM Victorian vampire romance.

My brilliant writing wife is running her first Kickstarter. There's also a bi why choose storyline throughout the series, and I love these characters so much 😍 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mic...

Just pootling around Kickstarter, as you do, when I found this. So, obviously I threw money at it. How could I not? www.kickstarter.com/projects/era...

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I went on a school trip to the British Museum when I was a kid, and I asked my history teacher why there was so much Egyptian stuff there, and why it wasn't in Egypt, and that was the day I learned what empire and paternalism meant.

Are you paranoid about 5G melting your genitals? Is washing your undies too gay for you? Are you an inveterate skank who thinks real men don't wash their arses? Have I got the Kickstarter for you. P.S. I should be surprised that this is 800% funded, but I have SEEN men on the internet 😭💀

Join the ranks of gays and monsters... Make sure you check out the entire video for it is beautiful and gay. www.kickstarter.com/projects/119...

Haha, joke's on you. I'm not dead.

This pyrite was super excited to be on display at the Museum of Natural History.

Feeling appreciated today. I have a few free books in my shop, and today, I got another tip and a note of thanks. I know not everyone is in a position to do this, and I appreciate all my readers, but I cannot deny it gave me the warm & fuzzies.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

If you didn't know, I have a shop where I sell my books alongside queer and paranormal merch, and give away exclusive little stories. Look at all the pretty things! 13club-afterdark.com/en-gbp/pages...

Today I learned that Amazon's ownership of Goodreads is not the common knowledge I thought it was. If you're looking for an alternative to Goodreads that doesn't prop up Amazon's monopoly on books, and is actively investing in its features, here it is:

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

Meet Blaze, the 13 Club's adoptee. He's a noisy boy, a superior jumper, and has a penchant for breaking into the feed area. The boy's got skills, so it's only a matter of time before we train him for a heist. Isn't he adorable? 😍

People like Zuck, Musk, Gates, and Pichai all seem to have such a casual attitude towards their staff when it comes to replacing them with AI, as do many other businesses injecting it into every aspect. 🧵

Just declaring myself now in case there's anyone out there who doesn't know about my raging case of sailor mouth. To the dickmobile! 💨

FB is free, which means we're the product. Meta is making money from us while making it okay to abuse us. My reader group is there, and my advertising options are severely limited without it, but I don't want to stay. For me this is turning into a case of having principles vs having food 😭

Not sure I ever had any banger tweets that I can recycle, but this is great advice if you've just come over from the swamp.

Maybe I did, maybe I didn't 👀

Sir, yours is a social and political agenda. Taking social messaging out of a game is a political choice. Why can't they just be honest about who they're really trying to appeal to? Chef's kiss goes to the author of the article for the top notch shade slinging 🧑‍🍳👌 www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

After weaning myself off of the endless doomscrolling and hollering into the void over the last couple of years or so, I finally... finally deleted my Twitter account after 10 years. I'm so out of practice at tweeting now, that's all I've got. See you in a month 😖😅

I have one scene left of this story, and I don't think I'll quite reach 100k, but that was never the point. The point: one month, one book. For those who don't know, my writing mojo went walkies for about 18 months, and I thought I'd forgotten how to do this shit. As ever, celebrating with cake.

If you're looking for reasonably priced, one-time payment options to replace Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, try Affinity Photo and Designer. Like most people, I played around with AI when it first came out, but it's costing us too much. And by us, I don't just mean creatives; I mean humanity.

Slithering over from 9 years on Twitter, which I've only been squatting on lately because... well, you know why. It is almost identical, and still I'm like, how does this work? Do I press this button? How write? How do? 😑
