I wrote a(nother) book! And it came out today!

If you like queer space horror with found-family themes, layers of past trauma, really damn creepy but somehow just a little heartwarming as well—this series might just be your vibe!

My son just called someone a “son of a basket” and I almost died laughing and I think that will be my go-to insult for the foreseeable future.

The Space Girls have selected On Impulse by Heather Texle as an SPSFC 4 quarterfinalist.

A cop shoots her ex-partner in self defense and asks her tech-genius BFF to investigate. Now he's dead and she's a fugitive. Judges loved the pace and the protagonist.

The world is falling apart, and I know other people deserve it more, but I desperately don't want to give in just because I can't afford healthcare. I want to stay. I need help to do it.

I just finished Witch King by Martha Wells and I can already tell it’s going to be my whole personality for the next little while 😂
It’s so good.

K, so my favourite thing about writing sci-fi horror is having funky lil weirdo characters for whom facing space horrors is slightly less intimidating than small talk with people they don’t know and “is it going to eat us?” is a less terrifying question than “are you guys mad at me?”

I love avocados. I’m less enamoured by the fact you have an approximately 30 minute window in which they are the correct amount of ripe.

Loving the fact that my manly smelling shampoo comes in a bottle shaped like a hip flask.
Does this make any sense? It does not. Is there any logical reason for this design choice? Not really. But does it make me chuckle every time I wash my hair? It absolutely does.

Oh my god I got an espresso maker and it just arrived and I just made myself a latte and I didn’t know a kitchen appliance could possibly make me this happy

This is what I thought journalism could be when I studied it a bajillion years ago in college. I’m no longer in journalism, but I’m so proud of the (mostly independent) papers and journalists still dedicated to speaking truth to power, rather than licking boots.
In the Spring of 1864 Twain, while working as a beat reporter for the SF Morning Call, Twain witnessed the murder of a Chinese laborer by a mob that included cops.

It radicalized him. He wrote it up, one of the first things he ever authored which he thought deserved to be called “literature”…

I did it! Dead Reckoning is finished at 72k words! 🥳🎉
Now I'm going to go for a walk and *take a well-deserved break.
*(stop thinking about my ridiculous queer space pirates for about 3.5 seconds before I can't help myself and go back and start the editing process)
