Eeee, it’s Nov 3! Happy book birthday to me! 📖🍰

CALLING ALL VISUAL ARTISTS. Please share! www.clarionwest.org/2025/11/05/c...

My main contract gig is being cut, and my family responsibilities are less demanding than a few years ago. So please get in touch if you know of writing/editing/research/workshop positions, any hours, ideally remote or Ottawa. Extra points for good causes. I know it's rough out there for everyone.

It only costs $10 to join the CSFFA and it lets you nominate and vote for the Aurora Awards! We’ll be nominating eligible pieces from our Canadian contributors, including our amazing cover artist Alice M. I say this every year, but it would mean everything to see our artists recognized with a win 🫀

Happy Halloween! ALL paperbacks are $9.99 in our store today only. Enjoy the strange horrors! #books #horror #halloween www.cursedmorselspress.com

Hey kids, you know what’s really scary? 👀 Loving something with your whole heart 🖤 Yeah that’s right, Heartlines has scares too! Cosy up and let’s get spooky:

Best poem: Recent Notifications From Smarterfridge 8000 by @elismontgomery.bsky.social : fridge will “tell us how many humans we have in stock at any one time” . Too smart by half aliens take over appliances. Eery

Thrilled that my immortal lovers will have a home in the next issue of Heartlines!!💀🖤🌸💐 so much exciting stuff in here — stay tuned!

For many folks, money is tight and about to get tighter with the manufactured SNAP benefits crisis. As such, between now and the end of the month, I'm donating all Cursed Morsels store proceeds to @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social. Buy a book and support unhoused folks: www.cursedmorselspress.com

Hey! It's midnight on the east coast, so it's release day. Thanks to @undertow.bsky.social for being such a fantastic publisher. Thanks to family, friends, and fellow writers for their support. The short fic grind has ups and downs, but it's a blast. Fricken love what we do. Thanks for reading.

I'm scared I will draw the Wrath of the Fanboys, but... this week on my newsletter I wrote about why I think the "Golden Age of Science Fiction" writers have so little appeal to a huge swathe of today's SF/F writers & readers. undercover-in-the-apocalypse.ghost.io/this-is-why-...

3 years ago, I had a patron come to the library and tell me they wanted to get into reading and didn’t know where to start. We talked for a bit, figured what he liked, then found a few titles. Now every summer he comes back and we find him a ton of books. It’s a wonderful ritual :)

Frog antiques anyone? 👀🐸🧙‍♀️
