A 2-panel meme using images from Rocky Horror Picture Show, with Rocky and Frank on the left, and Janet and Brad on the right. The top image has labelled Janet and Brad as [“those” cishet readers] and has text along the bottom reading “Well, I don’t like [books] with [characters I can’t relate to…]” while the bottom image has Frank labelled as [queer authors] and text along the bottom reading “I didn’t [write it] for you!”

I had a MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL thread on Twitter that it had become a bit of a tradition for me to retweet and sometimes add to annually, and I'm going to recreate it here! Buckle in, folks! x

Out today! Super excited to share a new essay with you: “The Duchess Who Invented Science Fiction,” a silly and sincere ode to my beloved Margaret Cavendish, a 17th-century duchess who teaches us to 1. think speculatively and 2. wear ridiculous outfits.

A painting of Margaret Cavendish. She’s smiling slightly and wearing an extravagant feathered hat, plus a fancy cape-dress situation. The background includes golden fabric and columns.

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

Here is Deri at the opening of A MARKET OF DREAMS AND DESTINY
Be wary child, as you go down, To the place beneath old London town, Where fey-folk work and goblins frown, In the market ’neath old London town. Deri hummed to himself as he dodged through the crowd, an old scrap of rhyme dredged up from a memory so many times bought and sold it was all but worn through. Three more errands left, just three, then he’d be free as the wind-swept sea. Well, as free as possible until he bought himself out of his indenture. Until then, endless errands.
