A light green book with a darker, vine-like scroll border around the central image and text rests on a silky viridian fabric, posed between two lotus leaves, one at the top and one at the bottom. Two green (darker than the main part of the cover) semi circles border the title text, reading “Before the Lotus Blooms.” Inside the semi-circles are lotus flower silhouettes. There is a subtitle near the top of the book cover reading “Book 2, Tales of Angaride” as well as text on the bottom reading “a novel by HARUMI.”

Brief bluesky break intermission (yes a break from the break) to share my book cover for BEFORE THE LOTUS BLOOMS 🤭🤭 it turned out SO PRETTY! 💚 mark your calendars for 03.13.26!

Centering In On The Unseen By Todd Brown - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website Todd Brown's "When Shadows Burn" shatters small-town myths by centering neurodivergent and queer characters as full humans.

What happens when horror stops looking for monsters in the dark and starts confronting the ones hiding in plain sight? For author Todd Brown, the most profound terror isn’t found in a haunted house,

Poor Geni 😅🥲

Cannot recommend Cassandra Khaw's The Salt Grows Heavy enough. A fairy tale of cannibalism and vivisection, self-fashioning and monstrous regeneration, love wondrous and strange and invincible--and all wrapped up in prose that's marvelously itself.

I need you to understand that if you think you are a nobody in SFF, I have likely drunkenly ranted to my wife about how ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL you are as a loadbearing member of the genre community

Lara from Wolverine Frogs was 19 (and Australian) she should have been at the club

My next novel, This Could Be Religion, is coming... soon If Wolverine Frogs was where I began, this is the book where I finally found myself. Darker, sharper, truer.

A message from my editor with her notes on the editing of a book in one of my series. The message reads: Hey Nikki, I’m so excited to send you the final edited version of your book! This project has been such a joy to work on. Your stories always become an escape route for me from this daily grind. Here’s a quick overview of how I approached the edits: - Character depth: I sharpened Enna and Cephas’s arcs, making sure their personalities, struggles, and growth come through vividly. I also gave more texture to supporting characters like Jaylah, Ola, and Gisela so readers can connect with them right away. - Pacing & flow: I smoothed transitions between scenes and chapters, making sure action and intimacy balance naturally with quieter, reflective moments. This keeps readers hooked without slowing down. - Worldbuilding & description: I added vivid, show-don’t-tell details (like character appearances, monster encounters, and artifact moments) so the setting feels alive and immersive. - Emotional impact: I heightened key beats — love, loss, danger, discovery — so readers feel the stakes and the tension while still rooting for your characters. - Series setup: Since this is Book 3, I made sure the ending lands with suspense and unanswered questions, leaving readers eager to dive into the next installment. Your writing style is unique and compelling, and I’ve been careful to preserve your voice while polishing for clarity, consistency, and emotional punch. Thank you again for trusting me with your story — it’s been a wonderful collaboration. I can’t wait to hear what you think, and I’m excited to see where you take the series next!

When you feel like nobody likes your writing and one of your editors hits you with this message 😭 #amwriting #writerslife #indieauthors
