If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Being told I'm not allowed to write native stories even though IM BLOOD to the former Lt Gov of the Chickasaw Nation is so messy. Sorry not sorry I'm going to ensure my family history isn't erased by engaging with MY generational trauma through art.

I must shout-out my sapphic historical horror MARYNEAL 1962!

A small town girl must find a cure before the next full moon or she'll have to kill the boy next door!

Hey I'm a great copy editor, a better fact checker and if someone would need an ombudsman, it's the work I was born to do.

Who am I kidding, but hey, hit me up.

A grizzled force yanks Kitty to the ground. I hear the wind knock out of her followed by a little, wet gasp. I shatter my vocal chords as I throw myself toward the massive thing. With a wild snarl & another empty, long howl, it turns on me.

I've been in a "rejection rut" these last 2 months. Lots of passes in the inbox. Bu this morning, I got a short story acceptance from a "Probably don't have a shot, but I'll send it anyway" lit mag. 🥲 Nice way to start the weekend!

Didn’t get any good photos from #aewdynamite last night in Greensboro, but we had a fantastic time! The women, in particular, absolutely killed it!

“Unbarbing of Wire”

Shared-world collection in a solarpunk North American West

- city-roving taco trucks
- cussin’ cowboys
- airship farms and the cats that stalk their gardens
- borders? What borders?
- quite a bit of giddyup if I do say so myself

Long after #Collapse, an empath leads an odyssey across the former US, using the power of meditation, wilderness survival skills, and archaic tech to save her people.

Her mission grows to offer humanity a way forward in a world desperately in need of change.

Hope hides in a lush forest on Nariah IV, a planet colonized by a technocratic regime. Cowboy & Christa flee into the perilous woods seeking meaning & love. Rescued by an Afro-futurist group, they must use creativity & science to survive a harsh winter, or die trying.
