My future wife @pegasusunder.bsky.social wrote an incredible wellness satire flash; hilarious and horrible in equal measures.

You HAVE to read this.

Aww thank you for being there and supporting us!!! and the pics <3 !!!!

Had a fab time at @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social's New Writers Award Showcase, a lovely celebration of Scottish literary talent!! The performances were all fantastic, (pic shout out to writer pal @pegasusunder.bsky.social 🍊) Also so nice to see familiar faces, lucky to have such a great community!

I AM VERY DELIGHTED TO SHARE THIS!!!!

Thank you @hexliterary.bsky.social , appreciate you enjoying my weirdness!!!

A text-heavy graphic features the same session overview as in this post. It also features a photo of writer Lindz McLeod, plus the covers of her books The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet, and The Miseducation of Caroline Bingley.

Representing the "love" side of Love & Death, @lindzmcleod.bsky.social joins us on Saturday to tell us about her habit of taking Jane Austen's characters and making them queer. Fast becoming a Writing the Occult regular, Lindz will explore the things we'll do for love. Tix: writingtheoccult.carrd.co

A text-heavy graphic features the same session briefing text as this threaded post. It also has a photo of psychiatrist and writer Zebib K Abraham, and the cover of a collection she edited, Silk and Foxglove, at the right.

With Wuthering Heights back in the zeitgeist, it's only fair that we spend some time on our day of love & death to talk about OBSESSION - and psychiatrist and writer @pegasusunder.bsky.social is here to steer us in the right direction.

A spread of 10 copies of The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet all signed by the author, Lindz McLeod

@lindzmcleod.bsky.social Is a treasure. Thank you for supporting a little bookstore trying to bring kissing books to the people.

If you're in #Seattle, you should swing by the absolutely gorgeous Beguiled Books and grab yourself a signed copy of The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet (and a limited edition bookmark) while stocks last!

Tis the season to buy ALL the kissing books!

A text-heavy graphic centres around an illustration of flowers with a heart locked and key

The bouquet is in hand; the champagne’s on ice. But why are the roses black? And who thought a cemetery was the perfect date location?

(Us, actually, but anyway.)

The stage is set for a very special Valentine’s Day in 2026, as Writing the Occult tackles the different worlds of love and death. 🧵⬇️

🖤 @pegasusunder.bsky.social, on the neuroscience of obsession
🖤 @reginagbeach.bsky.social, on contemplating death as self-love
🖤Lauren McMenemy (yes, that's me!), on urban legends for lovers

The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet Jane Austen meets Bridgerton in this sapphic romance be…

Thus begins my sapphic romance between now-widowed & hopelessly adrift Charlotte and grown-up, confident scientist Mary Bennet 💘 it's tender, it's got floral-based flirtations, and a really really sturdy pianoforte (*ahem*)
