This is adorable. For fans of the great Witch Queen, @angelaslatter.bsky.social, @brainjarpress.bsky.social is bringing out mugs featuring @tanaudel.bsky.social’s art of Angela’s fairy tale gothic heroines. So much to love! www.brainjarpress.com/product/ag-s...

Continuing my tradition of reading @amalelmohtar.com’s THE RIVER HAS ROOTS on trains. This time, instead of going under a river, I’m going over many of them, on an Amtrak to Westerly, a town that borders the Modal Lands if I ever met one.

Dark Matter INK bookmail!! Proud to have blurbed these two heart-stopping reads. @renanbernardo.com @mariadongwrites.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥🌠

Baggage Check Thread There's a lot of baggage I don't claim as a writer. Imposter syndrome. Have you seen what's on best seller shelves? Let go that notion unless you know in your heart that you're bullshitting people.

I really enjoyed this interview with @thefantasyhive.bsky.social--particularly highlighting books and media properties I'd love my protagonist to hang out in for a while. And talking about Caitlyn Paxson's upcoming A WIDOW'S CHARM!

The absolute darling. I dedicated this one to @zzclaybourne.bsky.social, you know. He was there the whole time I was writing it, as he was writing Amnandi Sails. www.kickstarter.com/projects/obs...

It's June! That means my next novel comes out this month. Come hear the story of a Heracles who refused to kill any of those monsters, and instead built the world's weirdest found family out of them.

A new @zzclaybourne.bsky.social poem!!

The lovely people at Fantasy Hive interviewed me about Saint Death’s Herald, if you’re interested. fantasy-hive.co.uk/2025/06/inte...

I have a new piece of flash fiction, 'Holograms and Gaslight' (not 'Gaslights', that's an error) in the science fiction issue of the Sunday Eye supplement for The Indian Express. It's about the disenchantment of the future by the higher powers of the world, & the hope that smoulders yet:

Also, I've started a Mermaid collection on Redbubble, to keep these ladies together www.redbubble.com/people/tanau...

Hey, herpetologysky! I have photographed a whiptail lizard. I cannot determine which of six possible species it may be. Here are two images, the first as taken, the second filtered so you can see the spots. I am just outside of Albuquerque, NM.

It's ok to look after yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to sew pants for ghosts. It's ok to let moss into your life. It's ok to wear a tiara of goblin bones to your nephew's birthday party.
