You can always grab a copy of this… just sayin

A midcentury-modern style graphic featuring the Seattle Worldcon 2025 logo and some other vintage aesthetics, like some sparkly stars, an arrow sign, and an illustration of a dame holding a martini. The list of where to find Mia Moss is as follows: Getting Coffee! At the AABB table! Getting brunch! Attending panels! And barcon too! Say hello! :)

I didn't get picked for any #SeattleWorldcon2025 panels, but I've got a fantasy novel coming out next year and I'll be at WorldCon starting tomorrow night, and I want to keep my Canva skills sharp, so here's where you can find me!

That is awesome! Congrats.

I loved doing this. I've thought about trying to get into audiobook narrating but I have no idea where to start. If anyone has any ideas or help, please let me know. I could do with the extra income, plus I really love it. Will post link to the piece below when it's released on YouTube.

Thank you, Joe, for recommending me to Diane.
I loved working with her and recording the small piece below.

If anyone reading this has any pointers on getting into audiobook narrating, please let me know!

So pleased it went well, and you enjoyed it! That's awesome.

The new album is so good as well!

Anytime I see lists of "under-read horror writers" it's still always full of folks who win Stokers and are well lauded. Nothing against that, but who are some amazing actually under-read horror writers?
Edwin Callihan, Madison McSweeney, Justin Lutz, Xavier Garcia, Jo Quenell, Mae Murray, many more.

It's #buyastrangerabook day!

Out now❄️🍒💀

That's great!! It's worked wonders for me as well.

Can anyone share scenes from books or short stories that depict overstimulation / autistic meltdown well?

It's not usually as bad as it was last night, but I'm also looking into some studies/treatments

You know what I love? Waking up a bunch of times in the night from having screaming panic attacks in my sleep. Really sets me up for the day.

Excellent work! Well done.

This is as good a time as any to say I’m open for commissions!
