In this day and age, a horror novel BY and ABOUT a disabled trans man - tackling pregnancy as violence, the necessity of abortion, and the right to CHOOSE - hitting a list? It feels like a miracle.
Everyone, thank you so much 🪱

I was Consciously aware that the adult lit market is Lightyears larger than the YA/teen lit market, because Obviously, but my four-month-old adult horror EASILY outpacing my one- and even two-year-old YA books really drove it home

my newest novel, YOU’RE NO BETTER—a teen thriller about messy trans kids and serial killers—has an official summary!
this book is a rough one, and it tackles a lot of ugliness, but I love it so much and can’t wait to share it 💕

Lotta folks talking resolutions, so a quick reminder to focus on goals you can control.
Instead of making it about agents or deals, focus on things like reading more to improve your craft, finding ways to support your peers, drafting something new…
You don’t need anyone else, to chase those goals.

I swear to god if you don’t download this game and play it right now. If you usually suck at horror games, there’s an “enemies are harmless” mode. Don’t look up the plot at all. The ending gave me such horrific existential dread that I got a stomachache. Get it NOW.

I have a day job!!
I have one of the most boring 9-to-5s on the planet!!!
I make VERY GOOD money from advances/royalties alone (hi, I’m a bestseller!), but I’m also the breadwinner and we need health insurance. No way am I abandoning a stable, quiet, low-pressure “email job” in this economy.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Drew a Hound of Tindalos from a short story by Frank Belknap Long, released in a short story collection of his work in 1946.
The hounds are creatures that exist outside of time and space. They can emerge in the form of smoke from any angle of a certain sharpness, like the corner of a room.

well well well - looks like YOU WEREN’T MEANT TO BE HUMAN was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Awards in Horror!
If you liked this miserable & cruel little shitshow about trans men’s invisibility in discussions of pregnancy, I’d be honored if you voted 🫵✨💕
