Well… first snow of the season 🥶

From THIS HIDEOUS HEART, my reimagining of Poe’s most famous works — a sapphic, gothic horror romance set during wintertime.

Necromancy Autumn: she’s up resurrecting the dead and he’s the vampire she swears she’s not going to fall in love with while they work together against their will 💀🪦🗡️ 📚: www.amazon.com/Nickel-City-...

My protagonist’s feminine vices include thievery, scheming against a wealthy vampire count, and (she won’t admit it) letting him feed from her. 📖: books2read.com/u/3LQoRJ

Ruining the workplace by plotting against the sapphic vampire coven that cursed your new vampire girlfriend and coven mates while you wash their floors and do their laundry 📖: books2read.com/u/4AM9Qk

I wrote some words today!! 🙂‍↔️

I heard WTTBP playing in the background of the Sabres game and my ears perked up like a sleeping cat when you shake a bag of treats.

Whoever bought both books of my Nickel City Necromancer series today, I’m sending you a virtual hug.

motivational post for me (trying to get out of this low mood/SAD thing) and a little sneak peek at some things I’ve got going on 👀

You can put almost anything in a taco shell! My favorite is precooked grilled chicken strips, dressing & seasoning + cheese & lettuce White rice + tomato soup Pastina noodles, chicken stock, parm & salt/pepper; you can add an egg if you want Toasted PB&J is always a good staple

I can’t figure out if I was getting weird looks from the old people at the polling place because I was masked or because they thought I seemed too young to vote lmao

I miss being in the right headspace to write.

Devastating. Teen Vogue has been doing excellent work in political journalism the last few years, better than some major newspapers.

I forgot it was Indie Ink Awards season! ONCE UPON A DARK OCTOBER and A RANSOM IN BLOOD are eligible for your consideration ✨

I will also be donating some November royalties to this 💖

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now. We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

Goddamn it.

Well.

I stress-ate a piece of cheesecake but it hasn’t helped.

NOOOOO

You mean we gotta spend an extra hour in the middle of all this

Are you KIDDING ME 😤

Time to stress about the Blue Jays again.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

Great job, everyone, we did it again

Damn it, Blue Jays.

Happy 1 year to my sapphic vampire ladies! It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already since release day. And what a wild one it’s been — thank you to everyone who’s shown this book some love. When I hit publish, I couldn’t have imagined how amazing the journey was going to be. 🖤

Once Upon a Dark October - by @jessiethomasauthor.bsky.social 🩸 It takes a lot to get me into more modern written vampire books but this one did it! It’s interesting, dark, spicy, and I appreciated and enjoyed the portrayal of bats connected to vampires. As a Carmilla fan this was good! #booksky

I feel like I won the record store lottery today

Writing my book while listening to The Black Parade just like I would’ve been doing my homework during my first listen-through 19 years ago. Some things never change.
