Hey, Beauty BlueSky! I can’t tell eyeliners/eye pencils/brow pencils/lip liners apart in my bag anymore!

Could beauty companies PLEASE give me a hint that my aging eyes can see?

Absolutely!

The Public Lending Right in Canada is an incredible program.
I have over 40 books registered and they will pay for 25 years if the books are still in Canadian libraries.

Every Canadian author should enroll. It's free to set up.

🔥 INSURRECTIONS 🔥 is my heart and soul. Spent 36 years trying to write it. I did not and would not give these companies permission to train their programs on my book. Someone gotta pay. Here’s an unpaywalled version of the database. Check for your books: full-stack-search-prod.vercel.app/?search=

The Sunday Morning Transport brings something brand new today with the debut story from Zohar Jacobs that weaves the fantastical and the industrial together with possible realities. Read a sample or subscribe!
Between Truth and Death on the Murmansk—Saint Petersburg Line
The ways in which Zohar Jacob’s’ debut story weaves the fantastical and the industrial together with possible realities and bits of what feels like Bulgakov’s and Tolstoy’s DNA are astounding....

Got a horror story to recommend? A scary story you're proud of? Drop me a link.

After Tribe’s first album an interviewer asked Q-Tip if he feared the sophomore jinx. He replied: “What the fuck is a sophomore jinx? I’m going to make Low End Theory.”

I feel you Tip.

What the fuck is a sophomore jinx? I wrote THE W🌍RLD DOESN’T REQUIRE YOU.

My first-born book is an eight-year-old today!

Happy Book Birthday to INSURRECTIONS

Thanks to everybody who's taken a trip to Cross River so far.

At #awp24 I'll be on a panel celebrating 10 years of the University Press of Kentucky series that ushered it into the world!
