Five days left of my New Year's Sale! My sci-fi trilogy and horror collection are 99 cents through Jan & Feb. I want to thank all my new readers! It's been kind of a dreamboat year in the book department, which means a lot when the rest of the world is *shite*. Still interested? Links in comments!

My new collection of horror stories is titled *What Kind of Monster Are You?* so naturally, I took a buzzfeed quiz to see what kind of monster I am. I'm upset to share that Buzzfeed thinks I'm a werewolf. #Booksky #WriterSky

Kid Crush - Go!

It's a snow day and this girl is *writing*! Yaaaay! #amwriting

Four books that make up my #booksdna -- the source of my foundational, load bearing personality traits. I am *really* showing my age here, but these children's books had some serious influence over who I turned out to be. #Booksky #BookskyπŸ’™πŸ“š

I left work with an irrepressible grin on my face. My teens started reading The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline and they *loved* it. It's a dystopian book that explores indigenous rights and history through an imagined future. Guys! You could hear a pin drop. This is the power of story. πŸ’™

I love falling headfirst into writing a story. It's more like reading, the events unfolding around you just as surprising as if you were seeing them unfold. This is my kind of Sunday. #amwriting

#queerwriters Saturday: Check in Day! How was your week? Did you accomplish what you set out to do? Share your progress, encourage, cheer, and support others! #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters

Just finished the wildly dark ride that is Mexican Gothic. A little Yellow Wallpaper mixed w/ Jane Eyre mixed with full on horror, it's a slow burn that is at once repulsive and addictive. Loved it! #Booksky #BookSkyπŸ’™πŸ“š

Let's hit 'em where it hurts! If you're in, pass it on! #spendingblackout #SaveDemocracy

For the millionth time (but this time for real, though!) I have decided to shelf this novel. It would be my fourth book and I never thought I would just give up on a book that is almost finished...but I'm doing it. I'm sorry to my characters, but the plot is just too much of a mess. :(

Another NYC Midnight #shortstorychallenge in the books. With political satire, a sculptor, and a surprise, I think I got off easy. Hopefully they find dark satire acceptable, though, because I just can't our politics funny right now. #writerlife #nycmidnight

Just started reading Mexican Gothic and can already tell I'm in for a treat! πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€ #booksky #πŸ“šπŸ’™

We're nearing the end of my New Year's 99Β’ Sale! If you want to try a trilogy that fights back against nationalism, internalized racism, ownership of women's bodies, and false facts, try The Sepa Series, each book only 99Β’ through January! Please share to spread the word. :) www.jmoody.art

Celebrating the new year w/ a Β’99 book sale! What Kind of Monster Are You? Alien, religious, serial killers, witchy, paranormal, fairytale, and dystopian horror! Sepa Trilogy explores female bonds, borders, plagues, memory control, enemies-lovers, adventure + betrayal www.jmoody.art #booksky #πŸ’™πŸ“š

Finished We Deserve Monuments, & what a read! I will be singing its praises from the rooftops. The writing style is gorgeous, making it a page turner. It's race relations in the south, multi-generational relationships, grief, first loves & queer identity, plus a murder mystery! #booksky #πŸ“šsky

It's NYC Midnight #shortstorychallenge day, but I'm also itching to finish wood burning this little guy. Looks like Saturday is going to be all about the arts. :) #art #woodburning

Adding the one I'm reading now! #booksky #MLK

I'm choosing to see MLK Day falling on this dark day as a reminder that we will always fight against the darkness, and that β€œthe arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” In that spirit, I will be spending the day offline, reading this wonderful book by Jas Hammonds.

Oh, this is tough! Introduce yourself with: one book πŸ“• one film 🎬 one album πŸ’Ώ one show πŸ“Ί #booksky

I'm an avid bookworm and love being a writer, but I spend an equal amount of time as a pyrographer. What types of art do you all do on the side? Show me pics! :) #artistsky #writersky
