I like being disabled better than the alternative. People think the alternative is being abled, but it's actually being dead. I write more books than dead people do.

The Extravaganza Eternia by @kristinosani.bsky.social is a beautifully constructed, emotionally rich novella about performers imprisoned in a magical circus (amongst several other things). It's also super queer :D app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/5cfc...

Broke 20k in the EXTRAVAGANZA sequel draft today, which is halfway to my word count goal (-slash-limit because I'd like this to be a novella too), but only a bit over a third-ish of the number of outlined scenes.....

GenAI isn't programmed to be accurate and check facts. More people need to realise it is NOT a search engine, it's a chat bot programmed to sound human through the statistical likelihood that words will appear in a certain order. LLMs are not search engines. Do not use them for research.

Hugo nominations are open and I have only two requests: 1. Commit to picking 2 non-Tordotcom novellas for your ballot 2. For the love of all that is holy in this world, do not nominate adult/crossovers or middle grade books for the Lodestar - officially categorized YA only!

it's been said but bears repeating: project 2025 is clear that it believes anything queer is inherently pornographic, and its push to ban pornography is equally a push to ban all queer presence online. Stand with sex workers NOW, or this government will use the same rules to come for you later.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

I’m so thrilled to share the cover for my new book, SALTCROP, which is out in September. I’ve been so lucky to have beautiful covers — all designed by the amazing Jonathan Bush, including this one — but I think this one may be my favorite yet.

Hey, did you know that if you use a public library computer, the moment you sign out everything is wiped? And if you use a guest pass, they can't track anything to your account, not that a library would share patron info anyway.

It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi. Thanks to @beedokfern.bsky.social for this delightful work!

Absolutely this. This is the loudest, noisiest they will be, before the actual gears of government start turning. Our job is to throw sand in those gears to slow them down as much as possible.

I'm a believer in making my work available in DRM-free digital formats, which is why I lean on Itch.io so much. Both the ebook and audiobook versions of my trans protagonist queer magical girl rock band novel "Magica Riot" are available on Itch from my page! stormmaiden.itch.io
