What is this "End Times," you ask? Tune in to our podcast with @jfdt.bsky.social and Doug Murano of @badhandbooks.bsky.social (link in comments) to find out about that, John's new book ALL THE STARS DIE, and a whole lot more. This is a fantastic episode.

a bright leaf-shaped, flame-shaped nebula with a dark core. Then a red nebula with a shadowy bit of space gas that is shaped like a horse's head. There is a very bright star at the top and one near the centre. The one near the centre is also a nebula.

I only have 20 min on this, but it is already nice. Flame Nebula (NGC 2024) on the left & Horsehead Nebula (Barnard 33) on the right. Big star @ top is Alnitak, the left star in Orion's belt. For the interested: ASI585MC-AIR, #SVBony 80mm ED doublet refractor, HEQ5 mount, SV220 7nm #astrophotography

This is stunning.

Yesterday I posted our latest Ink Heist episode with John F.D. Taff and Doug Murano, but don't sleep on this one-on-one convo @mothfrenzy.bsky.social had with @michaelwehunt.bsky.social either!

Hey, here’s another book I liked. You might like it too. #BookSky

Ahh, you old flatterer, you.

This conversation we had with Doug Murano of @badhandbooks.bsky.social and @jfdt.bsky.social , author of the forthcoming novella collection All the Stars Die, is the stuff of dreams for readers, writers, and podcasters. Free knowledge from two of the best in their field.

This is not a debate or anything like it. It is demonstrably a thing that's happening so fight for trans rights, which are human rights, or you're complicit in the campaign of erasure.

Wonderful and deliciously timely.

We should have stopped
to watch the sunset,
smell the flowers &
take in the sea breeze.
Now the sky has
an atomic color,
it's raining ashes & all
the flowers have wilted.
& I don't know if we are
trapped in the Upside Down
or an actual bomb has been dropped
& I can't say what's worth.

This comes extraordinarily close to Death of a Clown as one of my favourites by @catherinemccarthy.bsky.social. Beautiful writing that pulls at your heartstrings.

Kiss me. I taste like chaos and applewood smoke.

So many FIENDs (and TEENAGE GIRLS CAN BE DEMONS by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social) Thank you @sadiehartmann.bsky.social for sharing--an author's dream come true

Full print wrap of Harrowfield. Cover shows tree shadowing two standing stones. Back shows a larger monolith with 2 ravens flying above it. Back blurb shown: Harrowfield is a tiny village in the Marches, that wild strip of borderland between England and Wales. On the edge of this village lies another field, the Harrow Field, the one from which the settlement takes its name. At its entrance stands the Mother Stone, guarding her Children, the two smaller monoliths at the top of the field. This is the ancient site of the Harrowing. When Derwenna Parry’s brother goes missing whilst surveying farmland, she and his daughters head to the village to track him down. Midsummer approaches and, even though they find him unharmed, they become caught up in strange events which lead them to the Harrowing. An ancient act of penance … or sacrificial revenge?

Thank you, everyone, for the support yesterday with the release of Harrowfield. As an indie writer it is appreciated. ❤

My quiet folk horror builds around rural traditions, too many of which are lost today. It's an aspect I prefer to champion in my writing, the events driven by the rural
