I love this: “Writing gives my imagination the space and canvas it needs to breathe.” #SpoonieAuthChat

That’s so poetic. I guess when I think about it, I really need to create too. I’d be miserable without it. #SpoonieAuthChat

And that’s the best reason, imo!

#SpoonieAuthChat

Congratulations on your debut!!! #SpoonieAuthChat

I always appreciate a flash of humour! Especially in dark stories. #SpoonieAuthChat

Hello, fellow Spoonies! 🥄

I write speculative short stories as well as the occasional flash.

Mostly on the darker side (which has proven a pain to find a home for), but with an occasional flash of humor.

Hi! I’m Cait, like 🐱! Once upon a time, I never thought I’d be a short fiction author, but thanks to encouragement from @madonaskaff.bsky.social and @nathanburgoine.bsky.social, I tried it and loved it!

This is a hard one for me. I don't write because I love to write, I write because I need to write. I've tried to stop writing in the past and it never works, I always find myself writing again.
(1/2)

I write for the same reason I make games: I like making stuff. That's basically it. #SpoonieAuthChat

I mean, that’s totally fair!

My short novel Island Views is a romantic comedy/cozy mystery. The romance is wholesome, the mystery is realistic but nobody dies -- it's even YA compatible!

ebook is 99cents till the end of February

Text and book cover on green background. On the left it reads: Remind thinks he has it made. Mildthryth isn't having any of it. On the right is book cover, grey text on dark green background. "Bound by his Oath by Jess Mahler" The 'O' in 'Oath' is oversized. Inside it is a knight wearing chainmail, looking away from the viewer with head bowed and holding a reversed sword. Behind him is a sunset.

is my fave of my love stories. It's an SF genderflipped take on some popular historical romance tropes.

Planting Life in a Dying City

is more found family than love story, but I love how sweet the characters are w/ eachother

Oooo! #SpoonieAuthChat

yes, I love romantic love, as well ! I can’t believe there used to be a time in which I hated romance. I can’t get enough of designing the little details of romantic relationships, & writing out all their sappy sweetness

(& friend love is amazing too, I missed that one)
#SpoonieAuthChat

Those are my favourite types of romance plots! #SpoonieAuthChat

Quite a bit for not being a Romance author! I love to write established relationships, older people in love, and people finding relationships when they don't expect to.

All my books include romance subplots because I can’t help it. I love Love. Mysteries/Murder Mysteries with the mystery of love;-) #SpoonieAuthChat

Yes! We need more works like these! Keep doing the thing! #SpoonieAuthChat

I love telling stories, and I also love writing about things that most people don't see. Queer lives are lived largely out of sight, and I like being able to mix my experiences as a queer trans person into my writing.

Oh this! So much this! #SpoonieAuthChat

#SpoonieAuthChat
I've been lonely most of my life. Writing/reading/watching is where I found the relationships I craved, and it's still where I explore the intricacies of emotion and trauma and healing and communication and society/community and and and

Beautiful! #SpoonieAuthChat

I love writing for the same reason I started concocting stories in my head as a kid on long car rides:

Writing gives my imagination the space and canvas it needs to breathe.

I don't have to keep my wondering bottled up. Instead, I can share it with the world.

#SpoonieAuthChat

I was on a panel about getting back to the love of writing at @canconsffh.bsky.social last October. It’s so important to me to remember why I write—because I love telling myself stories! I also love when characters grab the plot away from me and tell me where the story should go. #SpoonieAuthChat

Challenging oneself is cool. But I’m actually interested in your aromantic works! #SpoonieAuthChat
