Such a great morning hanging with @davallone.bsky.social, who is a complete delight! #writers #comics #comicwriter

Hello, Monday! Today, I’m off to meet someone cool. But first: coffee.

Autumn is here! Fall into reading with a new book. Here are my current and forthcoming books! In October, a new cover will join this group… jendiagammon.com/2024/09/25/c... #bookstagram #Books #Fantasy #Horror #Thriller #ScienceFiction #spookyseason

🍁Let me welcome autumn by reading you a poem about sugar maple leaves that I wrote: “Ode to Acer saccharum”, which can be found in my first short story and poetry collection called The Shadow Galaxy, written under my J. Dianne Dotson pseudonym. #Poetry #Autumn #Fall

Some of you are reading advance copies of my 2026 epic fantasy debut novel, THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS, and I am ridiculously excited.

So lovely to meet @afonso.me in person! We had a great brunch at SoHo House and shared so many great stories. Turns out we lived very close to each other during my San Francisco era! It’s great to get out in LA and meet other creatives who love this place as much as I do. #LosAngeles #LA #creatives

Get your preorders in for this small book with a big heart!

Yesss! Just checked. These are now my top two bestselling books available for preorder! Thank you so much!

Nice, Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall is back in the top 10 for upcoming releases in Witches & Wizards Fantasy Fiction for Children! This @chooseadventure.bsky.social comes out in April 2026. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/804064...

Hey, so yeah… I have a book out a month from tomorrow, and because of everything that’s happened, I haven’t really been able to do much promo of it, I don’t have signing for it, and it’s the sequel to my most award-nominated book.

Wasn’t going to do anything special for Batman Day because… I draw so much Batman as it is, but decided to in the end because why not 🦇 My take on the famous spotlight pose! #batmanday2025 #BatmanDay

Speaking of this, who is reviewing fantasy books these days? I’ve got an early ARC.

I’m realizing that my other April 2026 book is considered young adult or new adult. But it’s not available for preorder yet. (That one is my epic dragon fantasy book THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS, and the cover reveal happens in October. It’s gorgeous.)

Taking the kidlit world by storm starting in October! My YA book THE SECRET OF THE SAPPHIRE SENTINEL (sequel to Nebula finalist THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN) is out 10.21.25 via @press-android.bsky.social. Middle grade DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL is out 4.21.26 @chooseadventure.bsky.social

Jumping in on the trend… Unfortunately I do love:

Such a fab quote from @jonathanmaberry.bsky.social! Thank you!! THE SECRET OF THE SAPPHIRE SENTINEL comes out Oct. 21. Preorder it now! #yabooks #books #sff #scifi #fantasy #comingsoon

Happy to announce that my YA SFF novel THE SECRET OF THE SAPPHIRE SENTINEL is now up for wide preorder! This is the sequel to my Nebula & BSFA finalist & Lodestar longlisted THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN. Gen Lightworth & the Fireflies are back! jendiagammon.com/the... @press-android.bsky.social

Got to say the first time I saw PURPLE RAIN it legit changed my life. Jaw dropped. Some of you maybe had a LABYRINTH awakening (I mean, we all sorta did) but for me, it was PURPLE RAIN. LOOORD.

Let’s face it. Nobody could do autumn like Prince.

Thinking about being the ultimate DC troll and making art of Oliver Queen today. (Just kidding, I love Batman. But...might do both.) #BatmanDay

So @vincentvenacava.bsky.social and I are cooking up something wicked and notorious. More soon! 🎥🩸

So excited that @leemurraywriter.bsky.social will be part of our horror anthology, OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM, out June 2026!

OMG D-Nice shared a clip of me dancing to his DJ set to his Instagram stories, excuse me while my soul leaves my body and I run far away 😭💃

Surprise! You get a bonus short story from me in the anthology TALES OF SLEY HOUSE 2025. It’s a prequel story for my 2026 debut fantasy novel, THE VALE OF SEVEN DRAGONS! “On the Birthday of a Princess” follows Princess Githilien, aka Thilly, a few years prior to the events of my novel.

Hope everyone in Los Angeles is having a lovely southern Arkansas day!

Thank you for showcasing DOOMFLOWER!

Sent something truly amazing out that could prove to be quite epic in the right hands. Sorry for the vague post...but it'll be worth it, if this thing takes off like I think it will.

You know what? I despise this generational competition for who had it worse. Stop it. It’s not helping anyone.

Looking forward to the rainstorm headed into SoCal, and I'm going to funnel considerable energy into making Thursday very cozy, with cookies and warming foods. An autumn preview, all the way.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social did u know that there is a place in LA called The Baked Potato that plays jazz and other music for all ages and has many kinds of baked potatoes? I’m going to do a recon. www.thebakedpotato.com

Today, I’m talking about how a brief break helped me get things done. Still not writing fiction at the moment, because of my grief, but the seeds are there. Read the post: www.patreon.com/posts/139089....

Came back from my one-night staycation to all day chainsaws. So that’s fun.

Los Angeles at dusk. I watched the colors of the sky slide into unnameable hues. The lights of the city winked on. I sat within and among the transition to nightfall, the oaks trembling in the breeze, the songs of crickets echoing through the arroyo. Serenity and movement and life.

Just 2 weeks to the release of THE LEGEND LIMINAL, the surreal, found-family road trip novella by Ren Hutchings @voidcricket.bsky.social! Preorder from your favorite bookseller. www.starsandsabers.com/books/the-le... #books #comingsoon #scifi #sciencefiction

When we lose someone who’s such a Titan and so well loved as Robert Redford was, it’s an opportunity for us to honor him by living the ideals that he held. Helping others reach their full potential. Celebrating craft. Always expanding one’s repertoire of skills. Giving back.

A one-night #staycation at this stunning, restful #bedandbreakfast did me so much good! #travel #bnb #losangeles #socal

I shall call this Oops Fashion.

So I think I may have found one of my potential locations for a writer retreat for western state & province speculative fiction writers of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy… I took a staycation, and it turns out they’ve had writer groups here before.

Rest in peace, Robert Redford. What a legend!

Right. I’m gonna do a mini staycation, I think.

If you start a novel today, September 15th, and write 740 words every day from here to the end of December, you'll have a first draft of a novel (just under 80k). Don't take my word for it though. @jendiagammon.bsky.social did the math two years ago. Just saying. Do with that what you will.

I sure did!

The Nga'phandileh Whisperer, by @genni.bsky.social (pub by @starsandsabers.bsky.social) is a rather unique proposal, a blend between tradition and innovation that challenges the reader to deliver a memorable experience. Full thoughts: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

This is a wonderful and thoughtful review of @genni.bsky.social's new novella, THE NGA'PHANDILEH WHISPERER.
