A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Good day, #JanuaryWorldbuilders. This week I'm asking q's about the fictional societies in our fantasy/sci-fi worlds. If you write about many societies, pick one you think has an interesting answer, or the MC's society. How are gender roles handled in this world?
MonthlyWorldbuilders prompts daily feed card #JanuaryWorldbuilders Hosted by Kira of the Wind Week 2: Society 10. Does this society assign gender roles? If so, how strict are they? The background image shows a blurred magic tree with a waterfall coming down between two halves of its trunk. It’s nighttime and the night sky is magical with lots of blues and pinks and purples

Thanks Gabino! #HorrorSky are you in the mood for an unusual slasher novel? Try "Snake," the story of a serial killer hunting mobsters in New York City. Think John Wick, Taken and Friday the 13th got smashed together into a novel. Available in paperback and ebook.

Thanks, Gabino, as always. ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines an examination of the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother and my grief at her death. It’s experimental in the way it tries to reimagine both writing about comics and writing about grief. #FridayReads

Harrowfield. A quiet folk horror which takes you to the Marches and a place where the pagan and the occult collide.

Want to see the good guys triumph and the bad guys brought to justice?

Two #cozymystery stories with a historical #cozyfantasy setting.

Yes, it's fantasy... but sometimes we need to take a moment to enjoy the fantasy of everything turning out right!

www.aliciawarne.com
The words "Cozy Mysteries with a historical fantasy setting" above two book covers. On the left, the cover to "Death on the Loper" by Alicia Warne, with the words "Closed circle/locked room murder myster! Series Starter 99c" On the right, the cover to "A Crooked Sixpence" by Alicia Warne, with the words "Same sleuth (and her "team"). New mystery: a criminal conspiracy!"
