This was intensely hard for me to write and I’ve been quietly having a massive panic about it since but…

Here’s my first article on CPTSD and the creative life, co-written with one Ken Scholes.

Check it out.
It's A Month of Rain & Reads and we wish you a quiet morning.

In today's Guest Post we hear from Sarah Chorn and Ken Scholes who talk about their experiences with Complex PTSD and how it affected their lives and creativity.

Can anyone recommend a small, lightweight bluetooth keyboard I can use with an android tablet for travel?

Saw a car parked at the grocery store where it is obvious the owner is homeless. In the back of their car, on top of a bunch of stuff, was an Ayn Rand book. And I don't know what to say to that.

My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle!

A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up!

Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆

Went to the grand reopening of the Princeton University Art Museum with the family. It's at least 3 times as big as before! It was also packed. So we saw about a 1/4 of it and will have to go back and see the rest another day. Super fun time!

The amazing author @aughtpunk.bsky.social is losing her SNAP benefits next month. So if any of you like good scifi novels and/or fairytale retelling short stories, both with diverse casts and great representation, you should buy her books! 📚 #SNAP #booksky #NoAI

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 5:
A book doesn’t need a “serious message” to be worthwhile. Joy is a legitimate end in itself.

I edited this! Keith was a blast to work with and the book is fun from start to finish.

I particularly love that Our Heroes eat their way through NYC. Restaurants, cafés, street food....
HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY TO ME!

My new urban fantasy series, SUPERNATURAL CRIMES UNIT: NYPD, drops today from the Weird Tales Presents imprint of @blackstonepub.bsky.social!

YAY BOOK!

The people on this airplane have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice that Donald Trump will never understand. They are NOAA employees flying their plane through the middle of the category 4 Hurricane Melissa south of Jamaica. And they aren't getting paid.

I wish them safe flying and a safe return

For those of you who are not chronically online I would like you to know something important:

If you see a video marked Sora, it is 100% generative AI.

Yes, every time. Yes, AI has gotten that good. Yes, that is kind of freaky/frightening. No, you shouldn't share it. Yes, even if it's cool. 🧵

Stumbled into a unique exhibit at the Truro Cathedral - a spinning model of Mars created using NASA imagery. Quite moving to marvel at a “heavenly body” in a space designed to magnify that feeling of awe, and of the kind where humans have contemplated things greater than themselves for centuries.
