He touched her for the first time
since dragging her to the car, wiping the tears from her cheeks
with his thumbs. “I wasn’t lying when I said that I loved you.
God help me, I do. And I’m not the kind of person who falls in
love. But you bring out the worst in me, River.” -Dead Girls Don't Sleep

Having read and reviewed a stellar debut novel by a fellow UoW creative writing alum, I am giving myself permission to read some tradpub for a bit -- sometimes an indie just sets the bar that high and you're not ready to be let down again.

Asimov first, "The Ninth" series by Muir after that. :)

Ahh, gooood, my little marketing minion, basking adorably in your box atop the dryer where you have made a mess of your supper, you have earned three delicious treats today.

You almost lost that second one.

BLAME!

insane that this is the second page of the book. Nihei is unreal
Two page spread of the first issue of BLAME! by Tsutomu Nihei. A tall and short figure traverse an aged steel sci-fi bridge across a seemingly endless chasm with endless sci-fi ceiling above them. Manta Ray like figures fly off into the distance. The level of detail is bonkers

My submission for #PoemsAbout #WaxedTears

@alanparrywriter.co.uk
@thebrokenspine.co.uk

This poem is called 'Hardly the Time (to Cry)'

Poem is included in the alt text of the corresponding screenshot.

#poetrysky #writingcommunity
I don't have the time or the energy to have a good cry And I mean the lips quivering, face scrunching, body shaking, noise making sort aka- the ugly cry Where your eyes and cheeks burn, the taste of salt lingers on clammy skin, the head throvs with the efforts of shedding grief I could use an ugly cry- or three- right now But the tears never come When I have the time, if they ever come at all It's part of the curse of growing up like I did, crying was an inconvience, a way to get attention- or yelled at Now, I hardly cry at all, not even when I'm alone, in my room, the way I've always preferred Instead, I wax poetic about my woes, subjecting you to my little sob story On and on, my inky tears flow In the very way I wished my real ones would

@willowzane.bsky.social has a book. I'm going to be reading it very soon. I've heard many great things, and I know she's an amazing writer. I've read her blog posts.

The ebook is free today!

I have the paperback. It feels really nice!

My daughter has been making little books, including The Adventures of Esther’s Cats, Why Cats Meow, and an untitled one about a dog, a cat, some snails, and a monster with 40 heads. When I told her that I liked them, she said that she would bury one with me in my grave!
Three books of different sizes, hand written by a small child, with drawings of cats. Colourful star stickers on the biggest one.

Excited to show off the cover for the upcoming short story collection, Harvesting Moonshine & Other Stories by @mldcurelas.bsky.social. The fantastically retro cover is by @skyladawn.ca.

Harvesting Moonshine will be out in August! Ebooks on pre-order now: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJGHGRS
Book promo post. Text says Cover Reveal. A 3D mock-up of a short story collection, Harvesting Moonshine & Other Stories, by M L D Curelas. The cover is teal and gold-toned. On the gold, right-hand side, a flying saucer soars over towering skyscrapers. The teal left-hand side lists a few stories collected in the the volume, finishing with the tag line ... and more! The cover is distressed and creased to give it a vintage, pulp feel. The background image is the same retro flying saucer hovering over the buildings, but now the colour is teal instead of gold.

Using the word "clean" in book marketing is far from the worst thing ever, it's just something I personally dislike. What do you think?

A shy store clerk. A plain Jane. A near-hermit. An unlikeable jerk. An ambitious perfectionist. Their common link? A new pill that promises lucid dreams, but delivers scary side effects. The line between dream and reality blurs as they discover its origin. #BluePit📖 #Q #SF

Yes, it's easy. No, I will not stop drawing an 8 with a fancy sash

It's the prettiest 8 in the world and it just won a pageant. Show some respect
