Today is the last day of February, aka my last day of getting to trick myself into a fleeting sense of illusory chill by saying “my book comes out next month” (it comes out in 4 days) If you want to see me on tour make sure to RSVP at your stop of choice!

Me all week: Wow, I really can't think or focus at all and my neck is stiff and I'm weirdly fatigued, how strange. I'm also irritable and making lots of little mistakes. Me last night waking up with a migraine: Oh, that explains it.

BIG thing i get teased about over the years (in playful ways, it is fine buckaroos, but a light tease none the less) is the DIRECTNESS of my titles. many who stumble upon my books will immediately comment 'the title is so long it just says what happens'. here are some of my thoughts on that...

Horror Authors/Publishers The feds killed my day job, and I'd love some new editing gigs to get me through job hunt limbo. I come with decent references and, between my boredom and my shriveling bank account, let's say that rates, etc. are NEGOTIABLE thewilliamsterling.wixsite.com/main/service...

Bumping to remind people of what's probably my favorite of my short fiction, my novellette about queer chicana vampire girls trying to avoid detection in an increasingly survalsnced, Christian nationalist America. ...I wish it wasn't as typical at it currently is 😅

I called my rep @yassaminansari.bsky.social and her staffer quoted an interview she gave about how the Republicans could pass the bill without her vote. And this is why I said I'd rather she vote no than not vote at all. A strategic absence is one thing, giving up and staying home is another.

I beta-read this. I've never wanted to write fan fiction so much in my LIFE. Publishers need to cage fight over this one.

Firing people whose status was "on probation" regardless of actual work quality is a mark of incompetence in the DOGE team, not the people who lost their jobs. Elon Musk isn't the genius so many think he is if he can't even get basic stuff like this right.

Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.

In lieu of a more considered Valentine’s Day post, my art deco fantasy features a central and slow burn F/F. It’s packed with sapphic yearning. Chain smoking bisexual x prissy socialite. What could go right? #booksky 💙📚

A wide variety of queer identities in existing stories in the same genre, so that even if my work doesn't resonate for someone, a different telling will (and vice versa). #WeeknightWriters

For me, queer is the default so when writing a cishet character I have to remember that they're not queer. When writing queer characters, I am usually trying to stay more aware of stereotypes and harmful tropes to avoid or subvert them.
