Writing is a form of resistance. Go do it.

I’m happy to blurb or review all the books called too political or woke. Give me all the books by folks from marginalised communities. If you don’t think all this will impact the films, shows, and books that come out / promoted then think again. No one can just sit back and stay quiet.

Drove my son back to Uni. It’s always emotional sending him back out into the world. I forget he will be 20 this year and not my baby. But he has my home cooking with him and lots of groceries.

I’m not doing dry January because I don’t want to and life is too short to not live your life. I mean …

Wu Tang followed by Hall and Oates is a pretty good workout mix

The Maria The Wanted playlist! Music is so influential in my writing. The songs in the book are there to convey a message and set the tone Music is borderless like fear, love, and hunger are all things we as humans experience Now on Spotify ( follow VCastro)but here is the list if you aren’t there

I'm not hyperventilating YOU'RE hyperventilating ITCH! comes out in EIGHT DAYS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA I feel like I've been waiting forever and a day. Soon, my pretties, SOOOOOONNNN 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 www.mobiusbooksus.com/itch?rq=itch!

That's right. And it's the Wolf Moon.

Watching Wicked for Good with my daughter. How appropriate. A tyrant Upholding “purity” The glorification of those who deify said tyranny Propaganda How everyone else is viewed as dumb Great and powerful isn’t always that All that glitters isn’t gold

Now I really wonder if anyone will publish my horror novel Santa Muerte’s Children and how elements of Maria The Wanted will be received. Santa Muerte’s Children goes pretty politically hard.

Tonight is a super full moon. Witches, do your thing. We need a major energetic shift. Do your limpias. Move your body. Build a fire. Say it with your chest.

I heard Ingram will be a problem for Indie booksellers. I’m coming to NYC and Virgina in Feb if any booksellers want to buy direct from me you can. I have hardbacks and paperbacks. Email me and I’ll send you a list.

Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Gotta love the boss. But there is so much truth on how tough it can be to balance creating art ( when it’s your burning passion) and life. You know the theme song for Aliens Vasquez is Dancing in the dark.

It’s nice to see Latinx rep in mainstream horror. @crobertcargill.bsky.social did a great job with Black Phone 2.

Turkey club sandwich and Black Phone 2

So much leftover cheese and turkey. So made nachos.

This is one of @vlatinalondon.bsky.social's best books especially for folks who haven't read it -- consider picking up a copy!

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries. Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves. "Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks. "No, guess he should've complied," agent says. Yakima, Washington

Sending you all love, joy and abundance ❤️

New Review - Dark Magic for the Winter Solstice 😊❤️ @vlatinalondon.bsky.social 🥰 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Watching the Korean film The Great Flood. Whaaat?! Wasn’t prepared for that.

Tonight is a new moon and tomorrow the winter solstice. Before Christianity, this time of year held significance. Now is the time to set your intentions and manifest what you want. Be kind to yourself and others. Give if you can.

Dr. @chesyaburke.bsky.social and I are editing an anthology surveying the evolution of Black literary horror. Tentatively titled Black Horror, Then & Next: We Have Always Dreamed in Darkness (FlameTree Press), here are the guidelines… blog.flametreepublishing.com/fantasy-goth...

Brazil and Mexico!!! So excited TALES OF THE DARK FEMININE is getting two translations. This is my 2nd book in Brazil. They go hard for their books. After 1 year Rebel Moon is still in the top 50 bestsellers in space opera and military sci fi.

Today only!

First up, horror & gothic- gripping reads that kept me up at night, strange phenomenons, eerie and atmospheric settings, with twists and turns aplenty..! 🖤✨Ft reads by @mkhardywrites.com, @riverssolomon.bsky.social, @annieneugebauer.bsky.social, @vlatinalondon.bsky.social, & @iameeadams.bsky.social

Publishers Weekly is still doubling down on this awful AI workshop. Keep the emails and the comments coming. Make sure they know how much we're all against this.

Now watching. The levity I need ! And wine.

Diversity and representation of women on streaming TV series in sharp decline, UCLA study shows. The Hollywood Diversity Report determined that the top shows in 2024 were less culturally diverse than previous year. www.latimes.com/entertainmen... #television #diversity #UCLA

So will @publisherswkly.bsky.social be featuring and reviewing AI generated books? Covers? Campaigns?

The "word" of the year is AI slop, I'm so happy, the mainstream backlash is happening for real

Big thanks for @gwendolynkiste.bsky.social for flagging. @publisherswkly.bsky.social is hosting this for AI. How you can use AI Not okay pwlearninglab.com

I’m travelling to the US in Feb for my book launch, AuthorCon, and to see fam. I’m worried. Last year someone reported me to the gov for wanting its destruction. Authorities concluded it was someone unhinged but still. They knew I’d be a target as a Latina. Being a citizen doesn’t matter
