Mark your calendars for Cyanide Constellations by @saratantlinger.bsky.social
Trust me when I say you need this gorgeous collection!!

Sara Tantlinger @saratantlinger.bsky.social · 10d

3 weeks to go!! I’m continuing my reign of promotion terror with this gorgeous blurb from @angelasylvaine.bsky.social -- thank you so much for your kind words 💚✨ very happy to join Dark Matter INK alongside you and your wonderful work!

darkmattermagazine.shop/products/cya...

The blurb reads: “Sara Tantlinger’s Cyanide Constellations: And Other Stories
expertly explores the beauty and brutality of nature, the
search for love and meaning, the blight of humanity, and
our insistence on scorching a path to our own destruction.
Gorgeous but bleak, Sara’s prose are a bittersweet and utterly
captivating toxin.”

Had an absolutey fabulous time at the Colorado Gold Conference! I taught three classes and got to hang out with awesome writers and talk about what we love! Plus the conference bookstore sold out of my books! CO Gold was my first ever writing conference and continues to be one of my favorites🖤
