Y’all ever have those moments where like your brain is definitely working but you have no idea what it’s working ON so you just have a bunch of dots with no way to connect them but you KNOW they’re connected somehow and you just haven’t figured it out yet?

and I had a good time!!!!!!!!

oh hey! that’s me! giving a TEDtalk about movie monsters! (It’ll be on YouTube in the next few days, too!)

so I got to do my very first author event last night at my local bookstore, and it was a genuine dream come true

anyway here are some pictures from the event bc it doesn’t feel real

(and they said they’d host me again for the next book so!!!!!!!! hopefully that happens soon!!!!!!)

—Accountability Thread for SEBSEL: The Screenplay!

—my love is leaving me for the holiday, & I decided that I would write a whole entire screenplay in 6 days!

SEBSEL has:
🔥sapphic longing
🔥southern-style revenge
🔥a wedding gone WRONG
🔥a mysterious stranger

and it WILL be done by Sunday, dammit

okay people keep doing this and this is very fun, for my new friends who might not know my work but also for me to share things I love dearly 👀

💋ANNOUNCEMENT💋
My piece “MANTIS” will appear in “The Pleasure in Pain: A Queer Horrotica Anthology” coming this February from Roxie Voorhees & Dragon’s Roost Press!

This was my first pro sale, and I can’t WAIT for everyone to meet my special special girl 🖤

sooooo you got a boyfriend?

Amoret is so, so excited to meet you. Coming October 16th 🖤
(I’m so so so fucking excited to finally share this story, it really is one of my favorites, and the story that actually finally convinced me I could WRITE HORROR)

the white one is Sofia, our newest recruit and an absolute MENACE. She likes seeing how far she can stick her tongue up your nose to look for boogers

the tortoiseshell is Lilo, who is 4 years old and don’t let her sweet appearance fool you, because she likes to bite and hiss (but is my best friend)

everyone say hello to the newest baby

It was officially shared on Twitter, so I’m sharing it here now too:
My piece, “Amoret” will appear in the Fall Issue of “The Deeps” from Spindle House! I know this issue is going to be PHENOMENAL, and I can’t wait for everyone else to read this story (which is one of my favorites I’ve ever written)
