As a mom of two amazing kids, I'm totally here for "messy feelings around family," and I liked this story very much.

Ahh thank you, this means so much!

A Raffle I want to talk about writing and words. But first things first. As I write this, it’s a frigid morning. Snow is piled in huge drifts outside the window....

Heyyyy I'm raffling off a couple of tiny knitted creatures--hand-knit by yours truly--to raise funds for community aid organizations. That's right: you can own your very own wee knit beastie and help your community at the same time! Deets are in my latest newsletter:

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 68, "Faery Frights" by Katy Shuttleworth: A figure in ratty brown-gray robes has a mask (or face?) of a stag skull with antlers. The antlers have cloth or velvet in ragged strips. The mask or face eye's glow green and the figure has long white hair. In the figure's left hand is a square-glass lantern and in the right hand a staff ending in an antler. Behind them, gnarled tree branches stretch into a green sky. In white text is the "Uncanny" banner, "January/February 2026," Issue Sixty-Eight," and the artist, writer, essayist, poets, and Uncanny staff credits.

Uncanny Magazine Issue 68 Part 2 features all new fiction from Kylie Lee Baker, A. W. Prihandita, and Jules Arbeaux! buff.ly/zP5ynDy

Image reads: New story! "Words that Wither, Words that Bloom" out now with Uncanny Magazine. It includes the story's opening sentence, which reads: By the time she was five, Vanis had heard the same joke so many times she was sick of it: Had her mother Terese not been a guest of honor at the event, not even she would have attended Vanis’s birth.

Super excited to finally shout about this. My first short fiction publication "Words that Wither, Words that Bloom" is out with @uncannymagazine.bsky.social and available to read on their website! If plant/name magic & messy feelings around family are your vibe, check it out! 🌿✨

An illustration of a brown-skinned, dark-haired man with tattooed arms, wearing a dark hooded tunic and a bandolier of vials, and cradling a complex chef knife. A text graphic overlays this reading “Casthen Gain, a novella of The Graven” and more text on the purple background reads: Audiobook Jan 27th. Preorder now on Audible.

SOON you can feast your ears on the audiobook of my sci-fantasy novella—Casthen Gain—produced by Podium and narrated by Zac Aleman!

Pre-orders open now! ~ out Jan 27th 💜

Cage of Starlight by Jules Arbeaux on a shelf with greenery and flowers

"Atmospheric, beautifully written, and achingly romantic, Cage of Starlight ignites bone-deep yearning and searing hope against a bleak dystopian fantasy backdrop. Punctuated with biting wit, and showcasing deep love in all its forms, this is a must for fans of queer love stories." - Claire Winn, on Cage of Starlight

Happy book bday to another incredible queer book I had the pleasure of blurbing, by @julesarbeaux.bsky.social! 😍🌈

I adored these characters, and this is one of my faves of the year. Pick it up if you're a fan of yearning, hurt/comfort (Sena, my poor soft-boy punching-bag!), and lush prose.

Thanks so much to the Proud Geek bookshop! (Shop at independent bookstores!) ♥️💛💚💙💜

Thank you so much for carrying Cage of Starlight!! 💜

So honored to be included on this list! Thank you so much!

Compiled a small list of queer books that you can be reading during this #Pride.

I had cause to recommend this excellent compendium of resources for writers again today, so I thought I'd post it here again. Thanks to @julesarbeaux.bsky.social for compiling it - resourcesforwriters.carrd.co

The prettiest cover!!

A paperback of How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days lays against a pink heart illustrated background. The book's cover is covered in green, heart-shaped leaves, and features a red door prominently in the center. A pumpkin, mushrooms, two pairs of boots, a sword, and an axe are arranged around the door. Several pink flowers are blooming among the leaves.

It's here! The gorgeous cover for my debut novel, How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days, publishing January 2026 with @orbitbooks.bsky.social!

Thank you so much to my amazing illustrator, Raahat Kaduji, and equally amazing art director, Sophie Ellis, for giving this little book such a magical cover!

Hi John!! Glad I found you here. Feeling my way around here at last!

Incredibly pleased to announce that I exist! Hi all. I'm Jules and I write funky feelsy sci-fi and fantasy. Hopefully in the next month or so I'll get to scream about the beautiful cover for my second book! I have a cat named Merlin and she loves to cause problems.
