Three books that inspired SKULLRUNNER. I love books about death, adventure, and walking the knife’s edge between victory and defeat. There’s nothing like a good sword fight!

A jokey ad for my book. On a bed of blood spattered roses white text asks: What does a lesbian bring to a first date? A. A forty billion dollar dagger B. A divine debt C. Trillionaire daddy issues D. 300,000 clones E. An impending sense of doom F. All of the above If you guessed F, congrats! You're now a fan of BOOM GOES THE BRIDE.

I continue to make ill-advised ads that i release late at night because this is my Brand and if you're up at midnight EST then you deserve quality late-night shitpost promos. Why see ads for injury claims lawyers when you can get quality infogayment like this?

SKULLRUNNER is a critical re-examination of a lot of mythology around the American Revolution and George Washington (featuring lesbian pirates)

In the world of SKULLRUNNER, the gods were hunted down and killed for their power revolutionaries. A few fled into hiding, one is long missing, and one—the goddess of death—was split into a thousand pieces, each of which became incarnate as a human woman. The main character is one of them.

I love fantasy books that ask “what if?” but most of what I’m asking is “what if you had a complicated relationship to your family?”

In “autism related news” my fridge is too loud today

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

😂oh god SKULLRUNNER would probably smell like Beach, for better or much much worse.

😂 if the SKULLRUNNER characters went to a zoo, they would free all the animals and return them to their native habitat in a few hours, and then they would rob the gift shop

Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy

I’m also happy to share that I will be donating 10% of the proceeds from SKULLRUNNER to support the Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy in their mission to return land to the original people of Los Angeles. You can learn more here: tongva.land

One conversation we’ve been having about the line between literary and genre fiction is that it’s not about subject matter so much as the approach to it. Genre (traditionally) puts plot first. Literary leans more into the ideas.

I asked a friend of mine to help me get into reading literary fiction, so she recommended CHAIN GANG ALL-STARS, and I’ve been quite enjoying it, and a good portion of my reactions have been “oh this is like The Hunger Games with a much wider lens and a deeper exploration of character.”

Congratulations!

it looks *so* good

I can't tell you how many queer people I've talked to in my life who have been afraid to do community organization work or to share their creative endeavours because of their fear of how vicious queer audiences can be about things created by/for queer people

Orange Tabby cat, Greg, standing tall on his hind toe beans with front paws stretched straight in the air trying to catch a catnip bubble floating above his head.

Here’s a photo of my cat trying to catch a bubble. You’re welcome.

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

Love it!

So cool!

Morghaia, the goddess of death, whose soul was splintered into a thousand pieces that all took on life of their own, is really interesting: monstrous in certain ways, yes, but not monstrous for the reasons we’re told to think she’s a monster
