Publishers Marketplace deal announcement for The Dying Season by Tori Bovalino

Some news: I have two adult horror romance books coming in 2027 and 2028!

Rosiee (white, with short curly brown hair, octagonal glasses, wearing a flannel shirt) holds a set of purple dice in one hand and a copy of This is How We Roll in the other.

This is How We Roll is OUT NOW!! I may not have my hardcover copies yet, but you can venture forth into the world and buy one for yourself!

These twelve stories are all directly from the heart, and I’m so proud of all the hard work everyone put into this project. I can't wait for y'all to read it!

A graphic with an image of the book The Second Death of Locke on the left side. The rest of the image is scattered with 7 screenshots of Tumblr text posts. Each screenshot is on top of a tan graphic that looks like a torn piece of paper

Have you heard the good word of THE SECOND DEATH OF LOCKE by @toribovalino.bsky.social? If not, have no fear, I am here to convince you to read it/preorder it with these Tumblr text posts hehe 😈⚔️

Very excited to be joining @gen-dimova.bsky.social and @annabelcwrites.bsky.social in Edinburgh next month! ❤️❤️

Ahhh cannot wait!!! ❤️

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

And I approve this message

(but genuinely, delighted you're enjoying it!)

On a gradient background that goes from blush-pink at the top to a muddy green at the bottom, a book cover. Super-imposed on a pastoral, oil-painting style image depicting a forested foreground and a hilly background beneath a soft champagne sky, is superimposed a 3-dimensional rhomboid-shape, the facets of which play with space. One facet shows a pale cloudy sky, and from it, a brown hare emerges chasing the hind legs and bushy tail of a wolf, the rest of which vanishes out of the rhomboid frame. The rhomboid's other facets -- which create the kind of infinity loop of an Escher painting -- are either blush-pink or covered in the greenery from the background. Above the rhomboid is the title, and the subtitle "Stories"; below it are the words New York Times Bestselling & Award-winning Author Amal El-Mohtar. My name and the word "Stories" are in the same blush-pink as the rhomboid's facets.

Absolutely thrilled to share the cover to next year's short story collection coming out from @tordotcom.bsky.social! I'm obsessed with it!

Comes out March 24, 2026, but you can pre-order it now wherever you like getting your books! Here's Macmillan's link.

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

✨ I have a PhD in English and I love talking about folklore
✨ I am terrified of birds
✨ My favorite show from this year is My Lady Jane and I think it should be rescued
✨ I've lived in the UK since 2018
✨ I love horror and fantasy books (probably obvious!)
