Pre-ordered!

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

This is going to be so good!!!

Congratulations!!! I'm looking forward to this!

It perplexes me, too. In my area, though, they are all bullies. I've tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and assign some deep motive. But I think they're just craven assholes.

Ordered.

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

Tons of folks like that in the Appalachian lit community, too. I swear it's all I can do to not grab a shovel.

Congratulations and the very best luck to you (you'll be the dean of UD Law...I'm convinced!)

As the new Jarl of English and Media Arts, I felt like a proper chair was in order. Thanks to my friends @grimfrost.bsky.social for the reindeer hide seat cushion!

Ohhhhhh myyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!

Two children at school in uniforms and it looks like Japan, both of them look like girls or femmes. One is holding a giant tuba so that it's stuffed over the face of the other one that's pinned up against the wall. The one holding the tuba is labeled every company. The tuba is labeled unwanted AI And the one against the wall is labeled me

Whoa!!!!!! Congratulations, Jess!

Folklore needs to be told. It needs to be transmitted. It desires to jump from pub to pub, playground to post office queue. It has a. Intrinsic dislike of stasis, of being trapped in the ink cages of of books. Folklore wants to be in our conversations and in our shivers. - #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

A better noir storyteller than C.W. Blackwell? Hmm. Only if you count folks who are six feet underground and no longer receiving royalty checks.

His best work has been bundled into one handsome volume, out today. Buy it. You won’t be sorry. Pubbed by @rhppress.bsky.social. @cwblackwell.bsky.social

I love storytelling, but drafting is painful for me. It's messy and there are too many options, but knowing that I can fix it in revision makes all the difference -- gives me the freedom to make mistakes, and be vulnerable.

Let me show you how I fix it. Join us.

I'm supposed to be prepping for my zoom revision class with @rhppress.bsky.social, but the mailman just showed up with this hot little number. Pruitt novels are un-put-down-able.

PS. Revision is the quickest way to improve your writing game. Learn new tricks. www.eventbrite.com/e/excavating...

Holy shit!

Hoping work doesn't realize what I'm really reading!

In this last Witches, Cunning Folk and Magic episode, I talk to @traceynormanauthor.bsky.social about witchcraft cases in Devon, some of which are in the 20th century, using records of witch trials, and how theatre can help us understand the lived experience of those accused.
