Holy shit, there's a sizable excerpt of CRONE up at SciFiNow, the prologue and first chapter. Real easy to catch the tone of the book and see if it's your thing.
I'll put preorder links in the comments. Thanks!

In addition to having the unmitigated GALL to be proud of my work, I also dress very loudly (crinolines take up a LOT of space) which makes insecure (always male) writers super uncomfortable. Like, how DARE I not be hiding in a drawer with them?
Shout out to @ivygrimes.bsky.social for a truly phenomenal piece of writing with The Cellar Below the Cellar, creating a soft Southern Gothic apocalypse digging its fingers into the raw, rich dirt of life.
A fairy tale for our fallen age, with teeth & heart to spare & great depths below the surface

How does depression feel like? Like a rock sitting on your head. Like a portal made of broken glass, that you created. In @nightmare-magazine.com is Body? Glass, a world where you can feel every pain. But what if you could feel more than just suffering? www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/body...
Honored to announce that Peter Atkins (Screenwriter: Hellraiser II, III, IV, and Wishmaster) has written the introduction to my upcoming horror poetry collection, The Build-A-Monster Workshop from Raw Dog Screaming Press. Much love!

I had lunch with a friend who is a publicist and he wants to write a book. I told him: you have to really want to, because it doesn't pay at all. He looked at me and said, "But you had three books. That must have been, what? $100k?"
the laugh i laughed will haunt the other people in that restaurant
LET’E GO! Can’t wait to chat with @davidbowles.us and @rzsantos.bsky.social !!! See you soon, Tejas.

Heads up, everyone! There's a new Cathy Ulrich story out in the world. One of my very favorite writers. 💙
Writer Internet is full of pics of writers partying together at conventions, making it easy to feel like that's what you need to do to succeed, but it's actually totally unnecessary. (Fun! But unnecessary.)
The only thing you *need* to do to write professionally is write and submit your work.
Thanks to you all, we've received nearly 7 THOUSAND entries into our CELLAR BELOW THE CELLAR Storygraph giveaway! Thank you so much for your support! 📚🌌
Entries to win a free print or digital copy of @ivygrimes.bsky.social's cozy horror novella are open until March 18th! Go check it out 🌟⏰
Q: How do you build dread in a short story?
@marythor.bsky.social: It’s about playing chicken, pushing characters to the edge repeatedly—the edge of what they shouldn’t do, shouldn’t see, shouldn’t pursue. Then asking: what happens if they keep going?

"Give us stories of satellites and sewists, terminals and tailors, dandies and dying stars.
Give us gossip wicked and vital, dinner parties salacious and droll, debutantes vile and intrepid.
Give us unforgivable rudeness and oppressive etiquette, scathing asides and dire gaffes."

We have only 61 stories submitted for WHAT ELEGANT STARS so far. I suppose a lot of folks will submit in the last month, but that still seems low. Though the theme is more specific than some previous ones, so folks are less likely to have anything ready to go.
