Went walking at the park today and found a Green Heron sitting on a branch. #birds #photography #heron #GreenHeron

Had an absolutely sublime experience at the metroidvania concert tonight. It was all good but I was thrilled to hear Hollow Knight's fungal wastes (it brings me great joy) and then I got a whole Super Metroid section and it was pure bliss

If you love indie books and aren't yet an itchio stan, go check it out! Might I suggest starting with this Autism Month bundle hosted by @vesperdoom.com? Get 10 books for $10, including my own award-winning Mazarin Blues. itch.io/b/2953/indie...

I have started poking at my PAINTED FLOCK line edits. Just a few pages, because it's Friday and I want to be rested for tomorrow But it feels nice to be so close to the final stages.

I have an interview out about my latest novella, queer horror romance FLESH AND BONE! I'm chatting about gothic settings, werewolves, the Canadian wild west, and the hell I put these two characters through. Links to the book below ✨🖤

About to sit down with the Virtual Can*Con schedule and the Hermitcraft Gamers Outreach schedule for Saturday and see which bits of which I want to watch live and then probably realize it's all around 7pm-7:30 pm EST or later, when I will be out at a metroidvania concert

Bluestockings was one of a small handful of bookstores that really went above and beyond in supporting my trans debut back at a time when even my publisher thought it would flop. If you can, please help them get back up and running. They help marginalized people in SO many ways!

Aaaaaaah! Look how gorgeous! Get yourself signed up for this kickstarter notifs if you like queer scifi YA with time travel shenanigans and a strong desire to end corrupt regimes. Or just because you like a good sf romp. They’re great books and LOOK HOW PRETTY THIS WOULD BE ON YOUR SHELVES.

“He’s a very unique person in modern Canadian politics,” he says. “There aren’t many opportunities for someone with such a low level of education and such a mediocre life story to get so close to the position of prime minister the way that he has.” this book promo interview is serving high tea.

I posted this stupid early before I had to go to work, but yes. Stargazing. My favorite self-indulgent thing to add to my work...

fun trivia: PAINTED FLOCK has exactly the same number of chapters as BAKER THIEF. PAINTED FLOCK, however, has other non-traditional scenes that don't get a chapter number, so that skews it. it's still sliiightly shorter than BAKER THIEF though!
