Spotted today on “weird sh*t I’m researching for my book”:
“Perhaps even more disturbing than an exploding whale is falling into a decomposing whale. One scientist warned that playing too close to a dead whale might result in a chest-deep swim through liquefied innards, which would require rescue.”
Who else be like…
“Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music” is the most entertaining thing I’ve watched in a hella long time 🔥 @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social
Dear folx, my first week of revisions is coming to an end! I’m working with a deadline which, for the first time ever, isn’t self-imposed. It’s scary and exciting!
Anyway, I wanted to share that LAVENDER SPIKE has a new pub date: April 14th, 2026! A spring baby 🌱
That’s it! Take care out there✌🏼
Brilliant
It’s been an adjustment but it’s going so well. I love my little potato.
Unsolicited writing advice, no. #14151:
You don't need to write for publication, or for money, or for an audience, or for anyone but yourself. Joy is a worthwhile objective. Joy doesn't need a reason.

Mid-groom derps.
Lone wolf coffee-slinger and accidental oneironaut Edie Stacks has her life turned upside down by reality-altering lucid dreams, and space cats! Edie is a broke but happy thirty-year-old with too many one-dollar Phil Collins records, a perfect circadian rhythm, and big trust issues. She lives on her own terms, keeping everyone at an emotional arm’s length. Plagued with insomnolence after having moved into a new home, strange circumstances provide her the sleep she yearns for, but also vivid dreams that meddle with her waking life. Using her dreamscapades to create a situation that appeals to her, she realizes that she does not have the control she wants. In fact, she’s making a mess of everything. To make matters worse, she’s adopted aliens and they have no intention of leaving. Somehow Edie is stuck with the mission to save Earth from extraterrestrial world domination. And here she thought she was just minding her own business. Surprise!
About 30 years before Off My Feet. Four women share an apartment and Friday nights. Wine and creativity keep them well entertained and always on the brink of trouble. One doomful evening, an alien craft lands onto their building and brings mystifyingly charming creatures into their lives. Creatures they would never have suspected were sinister… Boy, were they wrong! The tragicomedy that started it all!
Set in the 90’s when people didn’t have cell phones, smoked in bars, and punk rock was thriving. Carlie, a wild, twenty-five year old drifter moves back to her parents’ after surviving a traumatic accident. Back home, she starts seeing things she doesn’t understand, and the feelings that come with them are overwhelmingly blissful. When chasing the source of her new joy starts to pull her closer to death, she must find a way to harness this power that makes her feel so alive.
Under the rule of the terrible Murx, where mirthlings show false kindness out of duty and live out terrifically absurd pre-ordained callings in permanent joylessness, our ill-fitting heroine Topaz trades her stifling life for the most surreal of portals, orbiglass worlds and fantastic friends, discovering her true origins and inherent powers on her path to attain the silver-peaked mountain where she believes happiness awaits her. There and back again, Topaz battles with herself as she faces the challenges of friendship, deceit and loss, until with a little magic and a lot of heart she comes to love the mirthlings she once despised, inadvertently emerging as the one destined to return balance to all the worlds.
Trope graphics for my books published so far. I can’t wait to make one for Lavender Spike!
(There is a short synopsis for each in the alt text)
Other sh*t I do involves paintbrushes and/or pencils…
Oohh, let me introduce you all to @racheltremblay.bsky.social and her new cyberpunk book, Lavender Spike, coming out next year! 🤩
Sweet!
What if…
Art was the new drug
And the new religion
Temples were reclaimed and made into galleries
And artists were Holy?
What would you do to survive the most dangerous art movement to ever exist?
Coming Fall 2025 with @ecwpress.bsky.social
