Happy Autumn 🍂

Oh yeah, it has lesbian vampires. So I guess it is also relevant for Sapphic September.

The @divinationhollow.bsky.social organized Queer Your eReader event is now in full swing with a great collection of SFF, romance, and mystery ebooks (including one of mine) available for free until the end of the 20th. 🪐📚💙| 🌈📚🌶️ divinationhollow.com/queer-your-e...

Behind on bills and I haven’t made many sales this month. If you could spare a buck or two or boost this post that would be amazing! 💸💕 ko-fi.com/beverlyannem...

It’s been a stressful week and my nails are chewed to hell, but look at these tiny flowers. 🥹

Ahoy, mateys! Today be the day to snag yourself some quality pirate booty. Observe and plunder the Talk Like A [Queer] Pirate Day Book Sale at talklikeaqueerpirate.com #BookSky #talklikeapirateday #gaybooks #gaypirates #queer

What the hell is #BIPOCVampDay? *takes a breath* It’s this annual fundraiser I run each year for the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America celebrating vampires of color and the need for more of them in media and literature. And it’s hitting its 5th year this September. Spread the word.

Every time I get frustrated I'm not going fast enough in my writing,, I rewatch Book Chats with Shelley's video on authors rushing to publish their book. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3hD...

Here's the rerelease (new cover!) of my folk horror thriller. Coming Oct. 1 Hello to #HorrorWritersChat -ers who are new follows. Thanks for everyone for the great convos! Thanks to @jacobmarsh.bsky.social for his dictation advice. Thanks to @erynmccee.bsky.social for hosting.

#horrorWritersChat Actually, I do have something to share! Despite my aversion to tech, my friend JackiesSpookyShelf and I will be hosting live reading/writing sprints tonight 7PM EST on YouTube! Join us for some spooky reading and writing…if you dare 👀 bumbumbummmm www.youtube.com/live/nb4U7_J...

My first book, up for pre-order now! I hope if you decide to check it out that you enjoy it! A variety of tales to satiate your horror taste buds. It's pulpy, it's funny, it's tragic, It's creepy, and at times, it's campy. Thank you, always. x -Viv mybook.to/AllsWell

Thanks for a good chat, Eryn! #HorrorWritersChat, I've talked my head off about Lemon Balm so I'm giving it a break. If you need bookish art, I'm also an artist with reasonable prices and payment plan options. Comm page needs a re-do but if you're interested, poke me! Link: www.conquerthyfear.com

Thanks for running this, Eryn! I have a gothic horror novella set in 1926, in which 9-yr-old Rosalyn plays a make-believe game of a Royal Court with 4 other girls. All of them want to (need to) be the Queen... Things escalate. Badly.🍀🔨👑 brigidsgatepress.com/product/what... 📚🩸 🖤 #HorrorWritersChat

This week I'll circle back to IT WANTS US ALIVE, my menopausal demon hunter story. It's got some high tech weaponry and containment equipment, but the most important technology is an ancient Irish lyre that sings to demons. tinyurl.com/2tvnewcw #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat That was a fun first Horror Writers Chat for me! Thank you for hosting. I don’t have any links to share, but if you’re into horror that’s deeply-rooted in trauma and mental health that features queer characters, gothic elements, and (sometimes) vampires, you can follow me here!

Thanks for a fun chat, Eryn! Sorry it's been a minute for me! As usual, I encourage everyone to check out my books, The Amelia Temple Series, starting with Beneath Strange Lights! #HorrorWritersChat

Thanks for another week Eryn! Since I mentioned Unholy of Holies, the factory-farming relics story, here's the collection it's in for the interested. Also contains a novella about a former occultist turned monk who's still addicted to demons. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q4 The way the world has embraced AI without hardly blinking is scary AF! Surveillance and face recognition too. For me these represent more dystopian horror. I find our reliance on tech, electricity and the like very... interesting. It's just a disaster waiting to happen.

How it hacks our brains--social media siloing us away from each other, AI leading us into psychosis and short circuiting our ability to think, propaganda creating alternate realities using both. And all of these dark patterns manipulating us for profit and control. #horrorwriterschat

I think our growing desire to be dependent on AI for our needs, including social and creative, is going to ultimately cause us a whole heap of trouble. #HorrorWritersChat

#HorrorWritersChat Q4: Gosh, is it too easy to just say “the internet in general”? This invasive connectedness, the endless possibilities of exposure, the information overload. Or maybe….or maybe I mean people using technology 🤔

#HorrorWritersChat Q3: Old tech horror (fuzzy tv, tricky phone battery, flickering flashlight) is great for building dread and atmosphere. New tech scares the living daylights out of me. 😆(Identity theft, blackmail, catfishing, cyber bullies, etc) that’s where real terror lies

Hey all. It's Katherine Silva, "Kat" for short, writer of sadness and emptiness and all the questions concerning horror and those things. Gimme that ole Adobe InDesign. I use it for interior formatting and design (though none of its AI garbage). #horrorwriterschat

#HorrorWritersChat Q2: I actually avoid tech in all of my stories. 😅 I am an ancient being at heart and it confounds me, so I do not mess with it in fiction. My stories often take place in low fantasy settings or well in the past.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi, all! I’m Steph, writing queer horror under the name S.E. Withers. My preferred tech is Scrivener and my Notes app for “middle of the night and I have too many ideas” scribbles haha #QueerAuthors #QueerHorror

#Horrorwriterschat at the usual time and the usual place. Gird your loins.

The #WIPSnips word for September 13th is "pocket" This makes me want to write a "Thanks, it has pockets." scene into my WIPs. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I turned 31 today! I've been an artist all of my life, and I'm so happy with how far I have progressed in my own career. It's been a long journey, but I look forward to another 10 years of creating. I'd love a share if you're feeling generous to boost my reach for a day! ❤️

Today’s #WIPSnips word is dust! We’ve got plenty of that in this WIP. #horrormance #sapphicbooks #nonbinarybooks #queerbooks

This might be asking too much, but if I could sell 29 copies of Tempered in Ash before the end of my 29th birthday (which is tomorrow) that would be probably one of the best birthdays I've ever had 🥹 It's a queer epic fantasy with sapphic romance and D&D style shenanigans, and it's my pride and joy
