Congratulations to the longlist!!

Thank you @thehooghlyreview.bsky.social for the ASAP publishing of my review of Shome Dasgupta's poetry collection. Read more and buy @bellepointpress.bsky.social !

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!
Due to the sudden closure of the small press publishing our anthology, we're looking for a new home!
"Silk and Foxglove" is a BIPOC anthology of 13 stories of erotic-eco-horror! It's weird, gorgeous, evocative, & unnerving as hell!
Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!
Thank you! I gifted myself one of those Ember mugs. So the temp is always right... now if only my body's thermostat were so good!

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
