The worst part about being the person still masking at the office is that I can't ever do a fake sick day to just go goof off because then the optics are "oh the mask didn't work huh??"

My newest book CARAPACE is out today in ebook and paperback!

It's a comedic body horror satire about toxic relationships and capitalism.

It's also the weirdest, nastiest, goofiest book I've ever written. I love it.

My buddy @traviswanteat.bsky.social just released his newest book, Carapace! And holy shit folks it is one of the creepiest, freakiest body horror novels I've read in years. It packs more weirdness into its short length than many longer books could dream of. Highly, highly recommend.

the most visible thing i do is write SFF about horny queers making terrible life choices, so why not check out this trilogy-starter full of shifty politics and grumpy dragons

it would be easier to count the characters who AREN’T bi🔥

My working theory is that RFK Jr is a situation like Oogie Boogie in Nightmare Before Christmas, a bunch of nasty disgusting bugs wearing a suit. That's why his voice and face and soul are like that

The thing is, even if I wasn't concerned about my own personal health and wanting to avoid long covid (which I really am), disability advocates have never stopped asking us to show them solidarity and perform real community care by continuing to mask, so I'm gonna keep doing it

the world has me in a gross, nasty, mean headspace right now so writing books like Carapace, Love Shots, and another upcoming noir murder mystery book has been satisfying. They let me be nasty and meanspirited lol

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

Still need your #LoveIsland fix?

I'm writing a horror/thriller novel with a bunch of hot people being terrorized by SOMETHING while filming a hit reality dating competition show.

Think Jurassic Park + Love Island, & it's updating weekly on p*treon for tier 2+3 subscribers!

If you play that dumb game or stream the movies or buy butterbeer at the park or recommend the books to people or tune in to the new TV show you are directly contributing to this so please don't!!
J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.”

Hey y'all! In about a month, Amazon's gonna be changing how they distribute royalties for lower-priced paperbacks, which means I'll annoyingly have to increase the price of BABY BIRD at that point.

If you want to get it for its lower price, here's your warning to get it ASAP!
