The “trump buyer’s remorse” is such horse excrement. These people aren’t upset he’s turning out to be a monster. They’ve always known what he is, but they were fine with it as long as he hurt the more vulnerable people they don’t like. They’re just ticked he’s now making their lives miserable, too.

How do you “show” the audience what’s happening in an audio drama? In my latest blog post, I’m revisiting the post-apocalyptic, vampire series “Impact Winter” and examining Travis Beacham’s writing to see how he and the audio effects team make it work. #ImpactWinter #Writersky

Don’t miss tonight’s Trivia Night at Buskey Cider in Scott’s Addition at 7pm. Their trivia topics will be inspired by my latest novel TO HELL AND BACK. I’ll be there with copies of all of my books for sale. #Booksky #ToHellAndBack #RVA

My dogs have featured in a lot of my books over the years, which is why I’ll be at the Muttminster Dog & Cat Show tomorrow. That’s had me digging through some of my old photos of Page. She was featured in my “Gidion Keep, Vampire Hunter” duology. I still get tears thinking about her. #DogsOfBluesky

Tired of this topsy-turvy weather giving me migraines.

Why is there never enough time to write? Are you doing something wrong? Bad at prioritizing what’s “important?” I break it down by the numbers in my latest blog post on “The Indie Author 411.” #Writersky #Booksky

In the Literary World, some author offenses are especially heinous. The dedicated call takers of Book 9-1-1 are the first line of response to those crimes. These are their stories… #Booksky #book911

This is the part that disgusts me. These monsters know what they’re doing is wrong. They’ve ALWAYS known. They took the job to do vile things without consequence, and now that they can’t hide their fuck ugly faces, they’re going to run and hide. What brave patriots they are… so very brave. #Fuck🧊

The roads in #RVA are worse than they look. Do NOT go out today if you don’t need to. As a 911 dispatcher, I don’t have the luxury of staying home when the weather turns bad. This isn’t the worst I’ve driven through–yet, but it’s especially bad because it doesn’t look like it’s bad. #WinterStorm2026

There’s plenty of reason to feel like writing a story is the most pointless thing given yesterday’s events. We need to write, though. Now, more than ever. But how do you write when the world seems on fire? Here’s what works for me. #Writersky open.substack.com/pub/authorbi...

These ICE agents are incompetent and inhumane. We should all be screaming these same questions.

Another day with a thousand-plus words written at Abi's Books & Brews. Made for a fun way to spend my Christmas Day. #Writersky #RVA #merrychristmas

Had a good day of writing at Abi’s. Been struggling to get back into my latest WIP, Sabers & Side Quests. I’d been forced to abandon this novel for other projects, and this is the first day since I got back into the story that I managed to write more than a thousand words in one sitting. #Writersky

My new book TO HELL AND BACK comes out in one month from today! I’ve put together some new bookmarks that I’ll be giving away at the future events I’ll be attending. To preorder TO HELL AND BACK: www.billblume.net/books/to-hel... #Booksky

Terrified another writer will publish your idea before you can finish writing your book? Just remember Hallmark has made enough “woman from the city goes to a small town and falls in love” Christmas movies that you can practically watch their channel 24/7 without ever seeing the same one. #writersky

It’s almost here! I just got my first paperback copies of my new book TO HELL AND BACK! The paperback & ebook come out January 20th. The audiobook (narrated by Christopher Brown) won’t be far behind them! To preorder: www.billblume.net/books/to-hel... #sparkunboxing #Booksky

Whenever I get asked for advice on how to write a novel, my answer probably isn’t what the person asking expects. #Writersky open.substack.com/pub/authorbi...

Today! I am so happy and proud that this is out in the world, and so grateful to my friends and co-editors @older.bsky.social and @annaleen.bsky.social and all the amazing contributors to We Will Rise Again.

What does it mean to be a “winner” when you’re a writer? Yesterday’s Local Author Book Fair put that into some perspective for me. open.substack.com/pub/authorbi... #Writersky #Booksky

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

N.K. Jemisin is my favorite author, without question. One of those authors who always pushes themselves to do something new, and I love that.

✨ Please join SFWA in celebrating the announcement of our latest Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award: N. K. Jemisin. ✨ Learn more here about @nkjemisin.bsky.social, the Grand Master Award, and how the work goes on after the accolades for all we've already done: www.sfwa.org/2025/11/16/p...

Bsky hasn’t heard the story about the time that I was giving a virtual colloquium to the Aspen Center for Physics in September 2020 and Lawrence Krauss, Geoff Marcy, Christian Ott all attended as a group ACP now has a policy that would prevent this from happening, because of that incident 🔭

Listening to BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES, and @travisbaldree.bsky.social does a great job creating believable & loveable characters in fantastic settings. I was anxious going into this installment with Fern as the main character instead of Viv, but Fern & all the new characters have me hooked. #Booksky

Me running errands, stopping into a furniture store: Me: I like this table. It's about the right size. Store person: Great! Me: Can I try it out? Them: Sure, here's a-- *flips table* Perfect. I'll take 2348792347 of them please.

One of my theories about #writing is about the idea that evil villains need a reason to be that way, that the notion some people are evil and simply are that way is unrealistic. I think it is realistic, but it’s too uncomfortable for many of us. We want evil to be explainable, and I think… (1/2)

How do even 45% of republicans think trump is doing fine with the Epstein Case??? I honestly think these people would swallow cyanide if he told them to. It really is a cult.

😹😹😹 Just started BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES while on a break at work, and the opening line had me laughing by out loud (we’re talking a full on snort laugh). @travisbaldree.bsky.social making good on the promise of F-bombs. #Booksky
