Hey do I know queer self-publishing sff authors who live in British Columbia? (Or do *you* know one to rec?) Must be ALL these things please

Max is loyal to a fault and Cam is impulsive, so *surely* nothing can go wrong, am I right? 😅 Also, please consider checking out my other books! I tend to write SFF about magically-inclined idiots, autism (and metaphors for autism), and subverted gender norms 🖤

Morning walk

Now to return to writing more about my aroace son who continues to get accidentally get himself into trouble in SPIRITS 🌃🌟 Then DYH time 🫀🩷

You can’t say you’re tired of formulaic mainstream stories and then snub indie creators. The thing you’re looking for exists you just don’t want to find it unless it comes prepackaged with a corporate stamp of approval.

what if love was the point the whole time!!! what then!! It takes them a while but they figure it out eventually, and now woe to those who try to separate them. Read the whole story in SILVER BLOOD, my gothic m/m vampire romance book 🖤 https://books2read.com/silverblood

New rule: if someone messages me "hello" with no immediate follow-up to bait me into replying, I ain't replying. You're getting blocked for wasting my time. (Brought to you by a new bsky account with a generic white woman talking a selfie who was a new account and didn't follow me 🙄)

COMING OCT 30 After Detective Bell's childhood friend Renna narrowly escapes death twice in one night, he suspects those were more than mere accidents — especially when a medium warns that ghosts cling to Renna, whispering for her to join them. 🧵

Ominous post Tomorrow 🫀🩷

GOOD MORNING. SILVER BLOOD AUDIOBOOK TEASER!!!! ‼️ Plus a little animation to go with it because if I don't go over the top I'll die. This is one of my favorite scenes from the book, and @raincorbyn.bsky.social absolutely nailed it. The audiobook will be available in October! More info soon! 📚💙

I'm a chapter away from my weekly scheduled WIPs to being back on my horror WIP BS and I'm trying to chase this high just to not think about literally everything else going on atm

Ellipsus, I am foaming at the mouth to see this set as "in-progress" because I am in the hell that is prepping to transfer my domain workspace from Google to elsewhere and I'm cleaning out my GDrive. I need a new place to share my docs. BE THAT PLACE. PLEASE.

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

I wrote both T13K + THE VAULT as one chunk of originally 330k words in four months. I haven't replicated that since 2019-2020. It's been a week of this horror book and I hit 18k last night instead of making a stupid graphic. WTF IS THIS? I HAVE NO FOLLOWUP HORROR TO GIVE AFTER THIS

It's almost the end of September which means it's almost 1 MONTH to secure yourself a signed paperback of BE NOT AFRAID! The copy comes with a cool bookmark and print!! 👁️ You can find the preorder on my ko-fi! (& even a signed bookplate bundle if that's more your speed!) ➡️ ko-fi.com/s/5c79f9bbb3

Now's a good time to check to see if your favs have mailing lists/personal websites. Bring back bookmarks. While Patreon still works if you follow artists (for free!) you're essentially being added to a mailing list. And then call Mastercard and ask why legally made products can't be bought and sold

Just a reminder that right now is a fantastic time to take that monthly Disney plus cash and spend it on trans/bipoc/disabled creators and small businesses. Boycotting the bad things is fantastic, but using those funds to then support and uplift those who’ve been marginalized is even better.

If I can get this horror WIP to 10k and write a halfway decent synopsis to share, I'm promising myself a title reveal 🫀🩷

I really wish I could easily import a doc from Scrivener to Ellipsus just for sharing documents. I also worry about accidentally losing progress by doing all my work in a web app. And I'm tired after switching from GDocs to Word to Scrivener and I don't want to migrate all my processes again 🫠

Caught up on book 2 of TRICK, SPIRITS (serializing until publish), this week with 4k for the new POV character 🎉 And then I realized I wrote... uh... 6k in the new horror WIP... 😳 Oops?

Alternatively, you can support an autistic enby author with a preorder! You can get the book discounted on my PayHip or you can secure it via your favorite retailer 🏷️ shop.cara.ink/b/familiar 🛍️ caranox.com/get-familiar

#booksky hive mind, tell me your favorite indie vampire books 🫵🏻 (Self-recs welcome) (Romance is fine as long as it's queer) 📚💙

Just got told that this WIP sounded like it could be an A24 horror flick so, uh... if the studio wants to hit me up for some psychological (with light gore) trans horror material, I'll fricken do it Tackling a horror book wasn't something I had on my 2025 bingo card but HERE WE ARE...

My God what I wouldn't give for the days of pumpkin spice discourse being the worst thing on the timeline in September.

My toxic trait is that the moment I get a new WIP idea, I've somehow written out an entire synopsis, scribbled down character details, come up with a working title, and, being a designer, also created a cover within 48 hours. The cover is gorgeous btw 🫀🩷

The Bi Visibility Week Mega Bundle is officially LIVE, and BLOODY SPADE (ft. my snarky pansexual cat-eared MC) is just one of the many books you'll find inside! 💗💜💙 itch.io/b/3263/bi-visibility-week-mega-bundle | #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I just got a random message on reddit saying they loved Altar. I've gotten a handful of these since publishing it, and I can't express how they brighten my day and make me feel rewarded and seen and motivated going forward. If you like someone's work, let them know! They can't hear it too often.

Putting together a folder of vampire books (especially indies) that I can toss in alongside my own vampire marketing this fall and winter. Help me make sure I didn't miss yours! 🩸
