Here are some nice mushrooms 💋

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

Math is hard

Three weeks have passed since Wren’s vengeful path collided with those of Prince Caine, Queen Ila, and fellow nightmare Alaric. Three weeks since she nearly struck her creator down with the arcane magic now threatening to burn her from the inside out. Stalked by spectral half-remembered dreams and haunted by the impossible choices they were forced to make, the unlikely allies seek refuge in Marrowrun, the last free city in the dream realm and supposedly home to an exiled weaver who can teach Wren to wield her newfound power. When they are ambushed and brought before to the ruler of the city they expect the worst, but instead the baron proposes a bargain: protection from Warwick and the leagues of mercenaries at his disposal in exchange for Warwick’s head. Despite their hesitation, Wren and the others accept and prepare to battle the foul king from the lavish halls of the Pale Citadel. Their bonds deepen as they grow stronger in relative safety—until the first ritualistic slaying.

Graphic with dark blue background; it features white text that reads "Veilweaver, out October 28, 2025" with a temporary Orbit cover graphic in the center.

that’s right.

Listen I didn’t know if you still had any extra copies or not because of OOP so I’ve been panicking because I know he DOES have your poetry books and I don’t remember if those are OOP and i’m angry about that one too 😂

UPDATE TO THIS UPDATE I FOUND MY OG NIGHTSTRIDER CANDLE AND THE BOOK PRINTS THAT CAME WITH THE INDIE VERSION 🥺😭

sitting here crying in my attic because i thought i gave my shitty ex my copy of the vinyl trilogy by @theneonvulture.bsky.social BUT I DIDNT. I JUST FOUND THEM. IM SO FUCKING HAPPY.

this ate and honestly the publishing industry needs to hear this one too

begging with you

begging wheezing salivating for my publisher to buy my gothic fantasy horror bodily autonomy book before i’m not allowed to write it anymore

i don't control which platforms my books are sold on. i DO control which authors i associate with & which foreign rights deals i sign. if your characters are rebels, the least you can do is avoid aligning with fascists. & when you have to use one of their platforms, tell stories that will haunt them

are my books the best? probably not. are they always filled with trans characters? you bet.

i didn’t come out of the closet to be shoved right back into it.

buy trans books. read trans books. talk about trans books. gift trans books. promote trans books. suggest trans books to booksellers. request trans books from your local libraries. got it?

Immigrants are not just laborers. Stop speaking of them as a monolith.

hi! i’m sophia and i wrote a (vaguely) gothic and (deeply) vengeful dark fantasy called NIGHTSTRIDER about a winged assassin born of a nightmare on a quest for revenge against her cruel creator! it has four povs, a lush dream realm, and so much angst. out now with @orbitbooks.bsky.social! 🦇
