Whoa, I love this! Congrats! 😀

You smashed it! Congrats! 😀🎉

Completely understandable. Sorry things are tricky.

Please ignore this if this is an undesired/silly suggestion, but could you use the flashlight function on your phone to help illuminate things? Just a thought. I hope you’re able to get back to the movies sometime if you want to go! 💕

Thank you so much, Emmi! ☺️

Sending so much love to you. That’s heartbreaking. ❤️

I’m a writer and am potentially interested. :)

Congratulations, how wonderful! And that is super pretty! ☺️

A screenshot of the cover of Pick Your Potion from Amazon.com, with a 4.7 star rating on Amazon and a 4.0 star rating on Goodreads.

This week marks one year since Pick Your Potion was released. In that time it’s been an Aurealis Awards finalist, longlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Awards, and on the Locus Recommended Reading List. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported it. That means so much to me. 💖

An illustrated short story collection, open to an illustration of a girl holding a fan of cards in front of her face.

Both of my collections (including Pick Your Potion from last year) have interior illustrations! They’re done by Margot Jenner and they’re beautiful!

Sounds like lots of fun!

Foxes in space?

Thanks so much for alerting me to this, Sylvia! 💖

Common Misconceptions about COVID Hold Strong as New Variant Spreads Media has the public talking about the "razor blade" COVID variant, but years of inaccurate public health messaging have taken their toll

As NB.1.8.1 spreads, there’s only one thing spreading faster: misinformation. Here, I run down 5 of the most common errors I see circulating about COVID and encourage people to integrate airborne disease mitigation into their lives holistically.

Happy pride month!! I made a starter pack of amazing queer/LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction authors and I think the best way to kick off the month is to share it around so they can get some recognition for their hard work!

Whether you are queer or an ally, support these wonderfully diverse creators!

It's Pride! So if you're a queer horror writer that we have NOT goofed on yet, please post a reply below with your sales pitch and link to where we can buy/obtain/see your writing!

Hello, I do horror, fantasy and sci-fi stories (and mixtures of these), usually queer!

My short fiction collection from 2024 has been longlisted for the BSFAs, shortlisted for the Aurealis Awards, and been on the Locus Rec list.
