Goodreads is dumb, and maybe even BAD, and I don't think it sells any books, and authors definitely probably shouldn't ever look at their own, that's really not for them... but, anyway, here's the page for TACOMA: www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

not really religious but i stay tapped in to the gospel 🙏

who is this. I do not know this guy

Hi QTs-- I have three (3) writing coming out soon hex will have AWP event news coming soon and I needed a space to call a "author website" If you click this here link (Don't worry abt the name, no nudity shown on the free tier) and then that little "Sign Up" button, you will be informed. Plz do.

Ahhh I can’t believe I get to host my own HAD sub call!!! I hope you all send something my way!!!

very very excited (& nervous! stage jitters!) to share news of a project that my person & I have been working on for so long now we're starting a tiny artist residency here in Baltimore; say hello to The Doll House! www.thedollhouse.studio

taking my girl to see GOAT, the animated Steph Curry feature film, for Valentines day

I've got some ghosts & writing games for you! 🦇⚡

This album rips and, as an extension of @aaronburch.bsky.social's 90 minute movie rule, albums in the 30-45 min range are PEAK

wake up babe new Converge dropped

Lindz is correct, this one is a must read!!! Horrifically plausible wellness commodity babyyyyyyy!!!!

Derrick is mostly right, and I suspect he is withholding the incredibly important fifth piece of advice as some sort of gatekeeping, but absolutely DO NOT forget to Venmo the editor $10 (send as friends & family)

I had such an incredible experience with the Cover team. Just a fantastic editorial partnership that elevated the original work. Go submit!

it's still awards consideration & voting season, and I'd love for you to consider my two 2025 books for the "Added to Your TBR And Left A Good Review If Enjoyed" category johnchrostek.com

Decided to try pixel art heres my first one. I made a mistake with layers and opacity for the smoke so it looks like shit oh well !!!

Tomorrow, we turn 1-month-old as a journal and we'll celebrate it this Saturday with not two but four new pieces that explore relationships & connection & intimacy in delightfully different ways for Valentine's Day. Stay tuned and watch this space. bulbregion.com

I went to the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index and found you there listed as an example of ATU-1288 🤗

don’t miss this wrenching poem folks

God I love that we got these for @hexliterary.bsky.social

I keep the TV on all day and mostly watch news. It is important to stay connected to the outside world. The news keeps me up to date on all the school shootings and genocides. CROWS, HUH? by @alexmiller77.bsky.social www.bruisermag.com/Miller_Crows

My mariner child came home with one of these bound about his neck should I be concerned

Yr writing so bouba My writing so kiki

The Amikiri--net cutter. I haven't heard of this fella, but apparently they enjoy a little bit of mischief. I would most likely eat one if given the opportunity.

in your heart of hearts, what kind of yokai are you? I am either kappa or kasa obake

Hugo award nominations are now open and I would love it if you considered my Locus-recommended story “Woodpecker, Warbler, Mussel, Thrush” published in @podcastle.org. it’s about birds, magic, love, and extinction. thank you for your consideration!

My intro students are choosing short stories to write about and my inbox is full of names like @kcmeadbrewer.com and @avitusbcarle.bsky.social and @amystuber.com and @demisty.bsky.social and @aaronburch.bsky.social and @ambersparks.bsky.social and @lumchanmfa.bsky.social and and and I love this. 🥹

So psyched to have my first story in @apexmag.bsky.social! “The Island of Sea Turtles and Blood,” is a horror (and very toxic love) story about a remote island where everything is delicious and perfect. www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

GENERAL CALL: If you have a book release later this year that's speculative, funky or strange and you're looking for venues in the Northeast for events, DM me + let's talk about whether @eveninghouse.bsky.social in downtown Buffalo would be a good fit for you 🍻 eveninghousebooks.com

"There is only so much of your body you can ruin." Read (and loved) this Rita Bullwinkel story, Black Tongue, before bed last night. I recommend reading it in her collection, Belly Up, where it has been expanded, but the original was pubbed in @conjunctions.bsky.social

Finally finished Joe Koch's Invagines. Reading Koch is like if you put everything there is into a blender, jumped inside and had someone hitting the pulse setting. Newfound contender for one of my all time favorite short stories in there. Very good.
