That time when you think you're in enough of a great financial position to pay a bill early and realize "Nope. Big nope. Shouldn't have done that. Shit. Double shit."

In a related note, if anyone needs a quick turn around on some proofreading or edits, I'd be happy to help!

Ah, I do the same thing! It's so hard not to look!

Day job is silly busy in October (conferences, training, events to organise, too much travel 🙈) But snuck in an hour of moss book today after work, and added a horrible and fun scene... 🌱 November is quieter with some leave so that will be moss book month and I'm excited (mossvember?) 👀🖤🚀

Different fungi sprout from and around the skull, including red mushrooms with white spots, yellow fan-shaped mushrooms, gray cluster mushrooms, and orange bulbous mushrooms, with green and purple plants filling the background. A ribbon at the bottom of the skull reads “ADMIT ONE.”

Look, I don’t know what is going on. I pulled my books from my publisher a month ago, but Down and Out Books have now announced they are shuttering the doors, and my books are STILL available as of this morning?
All I’m saying is I better get paid.

#DVParty Day 5:

Ooo! Just seeing this.

My queer horror comedy, The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle, has a playlist associated with it (probably my favourite playlist I've made!)

Best listened to on shuffle. You can find it here: open.spotify.com/playlist/2AO...

Compared to my last draft that dealt with music, I'm having a harder time nailing the sound for The Living Wife. Probably because it needs a different genre than what I usually seek out. But it's looking good so far.

I have a playlist for SORROW EATER on Spotify, all music that I listened to while writing the book. Music to get revenge to, to cry to, to grieve to... The most "theme song" of the list is Together by Nine Inch Nails.

Very happy to have been awarded Creative Scotland funding to expand a dark SF project (similar vibes to Limelight)! A multi-POV tale of lives intersecting in a dystopian city run by a nefarious corporation (think Gotham meets Panem) with dark health tech, a heist, and an assassination plot...✨👁️
