There's still one more day to get SANDMAN SLIM for $1.99 in your favorite ebook format! You can't get a cup of coffee for that price. Well, you can if you steal it but I don't recommend running from the law with hot coffee in your hand. Just buy my book instead.

If you found me because of yesterday's thread on the growing pangs of midlist, then... hi! I'm a writer of many things. My latest book is BLOOM, a cottagecore dream turned nightmare that draws on Hannibal and my love of houseplants and cupcakes. I hope you'll give it a try!

If you tell someone to “Google it” at this point you’re telling them to look up five ads and some AI-generated bs instead of the actual thing they want to know.

I love seeing the Bluesky Night Market going strong! Peruse the feed ⬇️ and find some indie artisan work from the Bluesky community for your gifting this season! Or even just throw some likes/reposts to stuff that catches your eye - any bit of support means a lot.
For Small Business Saturday (and every day), consider supporting independent arts, crafts and more direct from creators right here on Bluesky! I worked with @davis.social to make the #BlueSkyNightMarket feed; add it here to shop: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Just finished @richardkadrey.bsky.social’s The Pale House Devil. Great short story that I really hope turns into a series, it would be so much fun!

Just finished Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace. I liked it a lot, think RPO and Ender's Game with a "you don't want to meet your heroes" vibe.

Next up is The Pale House Devil by @richardkadrey.bsky.social .

Finished Bloom by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social last night. Excellent read, especially if you loved the Hannibal TV Series. Def recommend for your October (or anytime) reading.

Next up is Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace due to a rec from a Bsky user (thanks @audleyzdarke.bsky.social )

So first things first.
Currently reading @chuckwendig.bsky.social's "Black River Orchard" and have never thought about apples this much. Prior to that I read "Midnight at the Houdini" from @delilahsdawson.bsky.social. And she also wrote my next one "Bloom".

Hello BS peeps.
Finally made it over here and going to TRY to make this a creative place. Following my favorite authors, musicians, artists, etc. Leave all the other stuff on other places.

Usually don't post much but will try more without all the noise drowning everything else out.
