Had fun with @vlatinalondon.bsky.social the other night. You should go pick up her latest (signed) at the Arboretum B&N if you’re in Austin. If you need extra darkness or whatever, they have some signed copies by yours truly as well.

Feels good to be back. Barnes and Noble has all the books. Food. Heat. My fav botanica for supplies.

My people on IG spoke so here we gooooooo! Meet me at a very haunted bar …

07/26 for my #26in2026 #booksky #horror #monstershewrote is The Queen of the Cicadas by V. Castro. A novel with two timelines. One in the early 50's detailing a horrific crime against a farmworker and one in the present with a guest discovering the details www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...

Who is feeling this full moon? If you feel tired, heavy, exhausted… breathe then howl.

Just in today. Some new indie published horror! We've got 'Midnight Muse' by Jo Kaplan and Out of Aztlan by @vlatinalondon.bsky.social #booksky

This should end well

IT’S “WRETCH” DAY!!!! My Q&A with Chuck Palahniuk is now posted on his Substack. Also, Grimdark Magazine called me “a master of contemporary horror.” So… I’m having a really great morning so far!!! 🖤

Today is launch day for Carnalis! While it’s a bit held up at the printer, it will be available in bookstores soon! I’m grateful to Nictitating Books for giving my sapphic cannibal novella a home, as well as to some of my favorite writers for blurbing it! I’m including them below!

I’ll never forgive the person who called in fake allegations to homeland security about me. I was questioned and my passport taken 2x last yr. Stopped in feb but released wout questioning. Now ICE in the airports. If I’m hassled I’ll ask authorities to out them. It’s about my safety now. I’m a mom.

When I was 18 I left Texas for Philly on a greyhound with $300 before starting college. I’m 46 and considering moving to Mexico.

Im in the middle of an unexpected move in 5 weeks. Please consider one of these ❤️ Available across all platforms if you don’t do Amazon. OR I WILL be in the US soon and can ship signed copies! Send me an email with book preference!

Who wants something nice on their timeline? Look at these gorgeous ARCS by women I can’t wait to read. So far Red Sacrament by @sarahinkley from @titanbooks is so lush. Why can’t I just be a vampire already?! Sun is shining. Got some fizz. Lit candles to bless these ladies and my life.

Two years ago I had my agents ask authors seeking blurbs if they had used LLMs in the writing or research for their novels. If yes, then I won’t read their books. I know I could be lied to. If I am lied to, I will LOUDLY retract my endorsement. I hope more writers might adopt a similar policy.

Newly-turned Mexican vampire, Maria, is not just out for blood, she wants answers... MARIA THE WANTED by @vlatinalondon.bsky.social is out now! 🩸 Have you picked up a copy yet? https://tinyurl.com/k9n7x52y

One of our new initiatives at The Rumpus is a Spanish language section, El Alboroto, where we publish original Spanish prose and poetry. If you write in Spanish or know people who do, please send them here to read our guidelines and submit their work. therumpus.submittable.com/submit/35215...

I need a Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure but with all the iconic writers before social media.

I believe women. We have so few wins this hurts. But as a Latina I know I can and will do more to represent despite wanting to quit most days. My great grandparents were farm workers. Love to Dolores and all the survivors of abuse. Is it time for matriarchy yet?

There are just no words. More power to her. May she find peace as she continues to do her amazing work.

Work at the village pub kinda day

Where are my San Antonio people at?! Love that I get to talk Latin American Shared Stories with @davidbowles.us and @rzsantos.bsky.social AND VAMPIRES with @markusredmond.bsky.social ☠️ @titanbooks.bsky.social

Watching Sinners again as I pack for yet another move (unexpected). My hope is that studios, publishing, media in general start paying more attention to BIPOC stories despite the current climate against us. Real allies put their money where their mouth is.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! Did you know Immortal Pleasures opens with Malinalli in Ireland? Her plans to explore the country change when she meets Colin in a bar with Fleetwood Mac playing “Big Love.” She enjoys a different kind of adventure…

Just sayin!

These AI tech bros are making it way too easy for me to write this villain

IT’S FRIDAY THE 13th ! Buy a horror book

I love this book festival and I love both these books! Stay tuned for more schedule details. Full lineup here: sabookfestival.org/meet-the-aut...

LET’E GO! Can’t wait to chat with @davidbowles.us and @rzsantos.bsky.social !!! See you soon, Tejas. @titanbooks.bsky.social
