▶️ NOW PLAYING: @shelbyhinte.bsky.social's debut novel HOWLING WOMEN (@leftoverbooks.bsky.social) is a gripping desert noir about a woman on the run, searching for renewal, drinking too much, trying to outrun her past in a desolate town. We talked about it. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

When authors you truly admire have good things to say about your own writing...it's just the best feeling in this game there is. Thanks so much to THE @shelbyhinte.bsky.social for this awesome blurb for COUNT THE DUST. Out in December from @leftoverbooks.bsky.social y'all.

If you are in LA this Friday come hang. I will be reading with this group of wonderful writers!

I don't really wanna read fiction by anyone who talks about having an MFA or anyone who talks about not having an MFA.

Day 3 of HOWLING WOMEN blurb drops. Words by "literary it girl" Allie Rowbottom. In an interview for @electriclit.bsky.social she said to me "you actually don’t want everyone to like your work. If you’ve made work everyone likes, it’s middle of the road & unchallenging." Wise woman.

Heyyyyyyyy! They’re featuring my book in a horror batch on Book Sirens. Sure the book is out, but that doesn’t mean I suddenly hate reviews. Get at it! booksirens.com/bundle/3471

Day 2 of Howling Women blurb drops 🖤🌀 If you know me then you have probably heard me talk about how much I love @kevinrmaloney.bsky.social's work. His novel The Red-Headed Pilgrim is one of my favorite books, so I was absolutely floored when he read HW and said nice things about it. bookshop.org

6 weeks from today HOWLING WOMEN will officially be out in the world, so this week I am sharing some nice blurbs. First up: words that made me cry from Chelsea Bieker Preorder here: bookshop.org/p/books/howl... Or order from your local indie

TWO WEEKS AWAY

So, this is happening. So many feelings. #stoprepeatinghistory #writingcommunity #memoir #nikkei

Low-key convinced nothing I post here matters, so doing a VERY SOFT LAUNCH of my next book, now on GoodReads and ready to be added to your Want to Read list 🐱 www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

some news! my book is coming out with @sweettrashpress.bsky.social via @houseofvladpress.bsky.social see you in Fall 2025 😘

Returned to my WIP and just discovered Microsoft word is suggesting track changes...like full on section rewrites. Have other ppl experienced this?! As if the ai copilot thing wasn't bad enough. Might officially need to start writing w/another word processor. Suggestions?

Confession: I love reading acknowledgments. Maybe you do too? I wrote this essay for us. Thanks to @shelbyhinte.bsky.social at Write or Die Magazine for giving this piece a home. writeordiemag.com/essays/ackno...

Write or Die is raising funds for editor Tamar Mekredijan, who just lost her home in the wildfires—please boost and donate if you can! this is such a heartbreaking loss for sweet Tamar and her family and anything you can give helps ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/help-tamar...

favorite books i read this year: Madwoman, Chelsea Bieker The Hypocrite, Jo Hamya Still Born, Guadalupe Nettle Appendix Project, Kate Zambreno Wellness, Nathan Hill (contemplated not adding this one, but since I couldn't shut up about it feel it deserves a spot on the list)

Writing a novel is irrational and insane and I'm proud to be an irrational and insane person.

This @amystuber.com story is the best story I’ve read in a while. Working my way through this collection slowly, savoring a story here, a story there, and it’s all pretty great; this story alone is worth picking it up.

Wrote about my top 2 favorite books of 2024. You can read the full reviews here: writeordiemag.com/features/sta...

y'all @lindsaylerman.bsky.social's interview with Sarah LaBrie in @thecreativeindependent.com is so good 😭 made me want to write! thecreativeindependent.com/people/write...

It's the holiday season, so now is a great time to go on a sugar cleanse, right? Everyone will love my sugar free desserts at the holiday parties, right?!

My reading mood the last few weeks has been big windy novels that fuck me up a bit. Includes: Wellness by Nathan Hill, Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker, and Long Island Island Compromise by Brodesser-Akner...what should I read next? I want the same but different!

It's true! You can now preorder HOWLING WOMEN 🖤🌀 a.co/d/ik2X38J I also have arcs for anyone interested in reviews ✨

And now for the hard stuff: wrote this essay after a lil reading with my Autofocus fam (shoutout @aaronburch.bsky.social + @hollypelesky.bsky.social) about a splinter I lodged in my body; a metaphor about publishing Snakeskin last year but also A LITERAL SPLINTER writeordiemag.com/essays/splin...

Love this essay by @suburbanprairie.bsky.social so much! writeordiemag.com/essays/splin...

Finished reading WELLNESS by Nathan Hill this weekend. I have mixed feelings about it, but it made me cry. Been a while since a book had me in tears. What's the last book that made you cry? I want to feel ravaged by a novel this holiday season! (plz nothing that is also a morality lesson though)

I made this Yellowstone Bingo card just in time for us to hate watch Yellowstone tonight ;)
