Hey folks. We got hit with a $600 charge for The Ancient we hadn't been planning on so I'm going to list some jewelry to cover her polyp biopsy (in her nose.) Anything from Hilary or Becky on here will go towards vet stuff but new stuff coming. www.peculiarityshop.com

I have a new story out today! As the title says, it's about a Faerie King touring the human realm. It's also about social media fame, parasocial relationships, street food, and the very human need to feel part of a story that's bigger than ourselves. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/when...

Highly recommend securing yourself a subscription to Underland Arcana. Issue 12 includes a strange story by yours truly about a particularly troublesome house and the poor, poor estate agent who is trying to sell it. You can read it here: www.underlandarcana.com/elou-carroll...

Right. I have 7 days to go to pay rent, including today. I need to be selling a few pendants a day, so the panic stations have been manned. (My god do I miss having a steady job. So much is out of my hands here. But I'm doing what I can.)

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? ...they'll probably argue while rescuing, but I think I"ll be ok

I’m regrettably not reading Agatha Christie whilst having tea and pastries in a seaside cottage during a raging storm, so no, I’m afraid your email did not “find me well”.

It's bad enough discovering your fiancé is a cursed prince, but then someone writes a magical musical about it... In Curses & Curtains, musical theatre is the dominant form of pop culture, and I have SO much fun developing and writing lyrics for all the in-universe musicals! #BookSky 💙📚

Don't think I've shared this here already... My recent efforts to learn crochet are allowing me to provide Ben with a vital service - more blankets for his hoard! Finished this a bit ago, and he seems to like it 💜

Things are still very bad, so here, I present 10 cached US Kindle copies of Terry Pratchett's MONSTROUS REGIMENT. I have read this; it's not one of my favorite DW novels, but that's more of a me thing. I can recognize it for its brilliance, and its humanity. And humor. #KindleBookGiveaway

I cannot begin to describe how excited I am by the existence and expansion of this vampiric Dumas universe?! And with two writers whose work I love involved?! 🧛‍♀️⚔️

Pride Month, burnout, and current projects! Free to read for all members. Including a magical academy queer romance work-in-progress...? I have a rule against talking about early-stage WIPs, BUT. I'm maybe starting a new series set in a fantasy university dedicated to the practice of magic...
