NEWS: A House of Representatives Subcommittee just voted to continue library funding in next year's federal budget. This is thanks to YOUR hard work as library advocates. The fight to #FundLibraries isn't over yet. Stay tuned for more ways to take action for libraries. #ForOurLibraries

Me as a child: - cried when the vacuum ran - covered my ears when flushing the toilet - couldn’t walk down the laundry aisle due to overwhelming scent - struggled to make connections with other children - read at an eighth grade level Every single adult in my life: She is so incredibly neurotypical

I’m trying to befriend the crows around my house. Where does one acquire elephant amounts of peanuts for cheap? 🤔

This is your sign to use those stickers you’ve been saving for something special. Life’s too short. USE THE STICKERS.

oh wow, fuck all the way off with this bullshit, valiant

Hey Kindle, WHY CAN’T I HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING IN PURPLE?! Just give me a friggin color wheel, I BEG

Just discovered that vermilion is in fact a shade of red and not yellow, and realized that I only associate vermilion with yellow because of Pikachu and Vermilion City. So. That’s how my day’s going.

#WIPsnips “cheap” snippet

This is terrifying, and we cannot let it happen Eliminating queer content - or content about any group of people - is a clear step toward eliminating them from public life, and then from life altogether, which is the end goal of the far right Stripe MUST receive push back on this

#WIPsnips “split”

Unfortunately the fall semester starts soon so my writing is going to slow down a lot 😞 but making it a point to remember that writing is my happy place and I deserve to have some time to myself to do what I love!

#WIPsnips “real” snippet of one of the first interactions between the poltergeist and the family cat. This is before she finds out that the humans she’s supposed to haunt have ADHD and will not, in fact, be noticing when things are out of place.

#QueerWriters “hair” snippet from my sapphic rom com about a poltergeist and the woman with ADHD she’s trying — unsuccessfully — to haunt.

#WritingLifeMonthly Two snippets from my paranormal romance, Born Anew in Blood. In the first, one MMC puts an arm around the FMC’s waist to distract her — and it works. In the second, she’s wrapping her legs around the other MMC’s waist 😁

#WIPsnips we’re going with “fight” for today’s vibes

My characters are all misfits who have at most one close person — until they find each other, that is. #QueerPrompts

The official blurb of THIS HIDEOUS HEART, my standalone sapphic gothic horror romance reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous works. 🫀🐦‍⬛🕯️🗝️

#WIPsnips “boss” snippet from my PoltergeistWIP in which Aislinn gets a visit from her she-demon supervisor about her haunting progress

Disclaimer: I fucking hate making moodboards. But here they are 😂 The one on the left is for my first book, Born Anew in Blood. The one on the right is for my WinterWIP. I don’t have one for my PoltergeistWIP yet 😪 All my books also feature queer, neurodivergent, and diverse casts!

#QueerPrompts “friend” snippet Aislinn is a poltergeist, though not a very good one — she’s new at this, okay? And her most recent assignment is already proving to be a bit of a mess.

#QueerWriters My brain is cooperating today; I’m drafting some things I’ve been stuck on!

#WIPsnips “positive” snippet from my WinterWIP

#WIPsnips we’re going with vibes today. Have I mentioned that writing lovers to enemies is DEVASTATING because poor Aurélien goes through both these scenes within the first half of the book 😭

“It’s fine. I’m fine.” I’m very much not fine. I’m talking to a fucking ghost. Maybe I should call my psychiatrist *tonight.*

#WIPsnips “trick” for today’s vibes. The Illusion Mage is one of the most formidable foes in my WinterWIP, not because of raw power, but because xe gives people exactly what they want. Most people can’t break free of the spell on their own, but Tempest isn’t most people. She’s a force of nature.

Another thing I’m done doing as an autistic person working on unmasking: apologizing for asking clarifying questions. I can’t read minds and when I try, I’m always wrong. So I’m just gonna ask.

Idk August having 31 days just never sat right with me

On this last day of #DisabilityPrideMonth, our featured author is... well... it’s me, Cait Gordon! I never expected Season One: Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space to become what it did. I’m very blessed. (And there WILL be a Season Two!) Learn more here: wp.me/p88mKz-1Qk

#WIPsnips “drop” snippet from my PoltergeistWIP Warrior-protector succubus: 1 Rusalka working for a goddess: 0

Oh okay then

Not long left on this bundle!

Bodies of water are plentiful in my books. Here’s a snippet from my second book, Bound by Ancient Blood, where the werewolf FMC and her vampire MMC are crossing a creek to make it home after their abduction.

“Street” #WIPsnips from my WinterWIP. This about sums up Aurélien’s luck 😂

1. Jensen and Aurélien (long-time partners) 2. Aurélien and Tempest (she has a spear and *very* little patience for this strange man in her yard) 3. Jensen just (thinks he) killed the Queen, and is trying to drag Aurélien to safety, but some bitch with pink hair and an attitude is in his way

How has 2025 treated you so far?

I haven't reiterated it on here, but if itch bundles go away, I'm pretty screwed. It's the only reason I've been getting by, as someone from a disabled married couple, one income, and severe debt. disabilitypac.carrd.co #MakeCensorshipCost #BookSky #itchio #itch

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far ❤️ I’m going to keep this going as long as I can!

I use the 🫂 emoji way too much for someone who hates physical touch

Snippet about bones from Born Anew in Blood (CW for gore)

#WIPsnips “trash” snippet from my PoltergeistWIP. Aislinn still isn’t used to her poltergeist powers, so emotional triggers can have unpredictable effects on the physical world — and the livings who have to clean up after her.
