I'm thinking about going straight into #13DaysOfWitchtober after #Swordtober ends, but I haven't decided which way I want to lean on the whimsy-to-goth witch scale.

writing up a patreon post, a few people wanted to know what releasing a book through Kickstarter was like. anything you're curious about?

just ordered a little over 50 books, so far it's the most I've ever ordered at once. having a bit of a complex. also feeling really proud.

It’s Bi Visibility Week! 💖💜💙 I’m bi, and so is the main character of THE GHOSTKEEPER, Dorian! Support us both by reading my YA graphic novel! theghostkeeper.carrd.co

Prints, packaging, and the final copy of the book have arrived! Bookmarks and stickers are on the way, as are cartons upon cartons of books. That pesky spine and I fought hard, but it's certainly behaving now. Only 35 more days until release ! neshamapublishing.com/noah-hawthor...

September is Suicide Awareness Month. This is an issue that is dear to me, in case that wasn't evident by the struggles I put my characters through, Arlo Rook especially. Please check TW as a good few of these are dark and full of angst.

🧭🎉 THE BOYS ARE BACK 🎉🧭 Prints and shipping materials have arrived, bookmarks are on the way, and so is a final copy of the paperback. That pesky spine and I fought hard, but I think its behaving now.

It's a good thing I got over my aversion to short stories, because I seem to fall into anthologies with reckless abandon. I've read some really good ones over the past few years, and it inspired me to challenge myself, and my writing. And so, the last three stories (1/3)

It is Hispanic Heritage Month, time for some queer reads to celebrate! (1/2)

It's Sapphic September, and I've rejuvenated the book rec stash with fresh titles! I have to say, I think my favorite types of sapphic stories are the 'she's a little bit fucked up and a lot bit haunted' and the good ol' 'I shall protect you with my life, my lady.' What about you? (1/3)

No, you see I couldn’t have committed the crime, because I was having a threesome with this man and this woman at the time. That’s right. I’m alibisexual.

on a side note i'm in my plant horror era

if I had a nickel for every time I wrote a dark and mysterious forest with shadows watching you and old men that have become part of the land itself, and slowly devour you until you are too i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but weird considering it's happened twice.
