Hola mi gente!
#writingcommunity we finally decided to come to Bluesky and will be hosting on both X and on here.
Keep an eye on this page for the next coming weeks!
idk, felt cute might delete later. I can't believe this was wasted on a teams call.
Outside, trees background. Stephen Cox vaguely manic looking with grey hair and beard with a fan of three paper copies of The Crooked Medium's Guide to murder. A rich dark blue background, and a touch of mist. The text appears in gold in a gold rectangular frame, the font is old fashioned implying C19th century. The frame has three rondels or cameos each containing a picture. Top right is a golden bee brooch with the body and one wing streaked with red blood. Middle left is foxgloves, spires of small bell flowers in pink, white and purple. Bottom right is a dark brown medicine bottle, with a pale label. The word LAUDANUM is just visible. There are pink highlights on some of the letters. Taken together it is bold, mysterious, and Victorian.

Repost this!
"A spooky tale where little is as it seems. Forgery, false accusations, secret identities. Are old crimes coming home to roost? To solve a baffling murder, Mrs Ashton must look both sides of the grave"

This time last year I sat down with some pretty dark thoughts and a full novella gushed out of me in one giant bleed.
Anyway, it's coming out via Tor Nightfire on May 12.
You into infinite corridors, ancient hunger, isolation, cannibalism, self-loathing, etc.? Join me in the darkness next May.
Such a lovely poem in such a lovely issue!!

FERVOUR is 'Keep Sweet, Pray, & Obey' in the world of 'Wolf Hall' with the religious ecstasy of 'Matrix' and the devastation of 'Waco: American Apocalypse'
Early readers are saying:
"This is like reading a Bosch painting, in the best way."
#questpit #AG #lf #hf
In the chaos of the Reformation, an ex-nun follows a doomsday prophet into a city of fervour, where faith becomes fanaticism, the sacred turns carnal, & a womanβs descent into religious ecstasy crowns her in complicity with the very abuse she once sought to end. #questpit #ag #lf
Set against the true events of the 16th Century MΓΌnster Rebellion, an ex-nun hears the voice of God and follows it into a radical new world. Crowned queen of an apocalyptic kingdom, she is both symbol and instrument until devotion turns to complicity, and the voice leads her to ruin.

I've been reworking my first novel from fantasy to historical and am just so excited about it. Coming back to this story feels like coming home.

Reminder that I don't argue with fascists here, I block them.
I also block people who whine that I won't listen to the fascists.
Who gets to determine when someone is acting like a fascist and/or fascist book licker? Why, I do.
If you don't like it, try not being a fascist and/or a boot licker.
Not sure why, when Iβve had grey at my temples since uni, Iβm so shocked to discover grey eyebrow hairs as well, but here I am, surprised pikachu.
