Huge thread from Tyche Books, a Canadian publisher. Her authors are every day folks, with bills and rent and the physical requirement to eat every day.

Stealing the books she publishes is not a progressive act. It's not activism. It's not punk.

It's just stealing from people trying to live.
Some of my authors are on disability. Some struggle to pay monthly bills. Some are retired & on limited income. Some were laid off in the past couple years & have yet to find new work. Some would love to quit the day job & write full time, but don't earn enough from royalties to do that.

I'm forty-five. I expect to retire from my day job at sixty-five assuming nothing changes. My long term goal is to write full time. I don't want to wait twenty years before I'm able to write full time. I'd love to be able to put out double the content for you that I put out now.

Hey Mutuals,

If you know me on Blusky, you probably know I write mainly romantasy, love Princess Mononoke and Revolutionary Girl Utena, and am a story structure nerd.

But did you know I'm a huge horror fan? And a major vampire nerd?

So now, what do I not know about you?

This is kinda how I write anyway XD never really on purpose, but as I write the scenes tend to unfold in my mind :3 I often get frustrated with my writing because I have to figure out the structure in between the fun scenes I want to write 🙃

I've had 3 stories edited by Samantha Kolesnik, which makes them special. Those anthologies went out of print years ago.

But thanks to @datlow.bsky.social @manylittlewords.bsky.social & @nefariousbatpress.bsky.social, the stories are back in new books 🖤 hopefully Sam's novellas will follow someday.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I won't start writing until I have a clear idea of the characters, the central conflict, and the ending. Waste of time until I know where the story is going and understand how the characters will react to specific events. No specific # of scenes since I'm a pantser.

A federal judge has ruled that former insurance lawyer Lindsey Halligan was invalidly appointed as interim U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia and has dismissed the indictments of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

In a dramatic legal turn, a federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia dismissed the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey.

👉 Because the statute of limitations in Comey’s case has expired, this prevents any future charging.

Hi! So I have a thing about buying books from Indie/Self Published authors. My main genres are: Murder Mysteries/Thrillers, Fantasy, and Horror. Drop your books on this pin and I promise at some point I'll get to it. And yes trad pub are totally able to drop their links here as well.

Usually I have one clear concept of a scene.

For "Hell Is Work" it was interrupting an exorcism to get an expense report approved.

For "Hail Santa" it was a possessed toy freaking our and defending a child from a Furby.

For "Good Boys Don't Howl" it was the switch flip scene where they get Sky.

This is pretty typical to how I work too.

But I tend to be a bit more specific:
It needs to include the ending,
the major scene,
a critical turning point in the story,
something that challenges one of the characters' beliefs,
and an idea that determines the theme of the book.
