I, Rhiannon Grist, am not your boss. I am incapable of making you fill out your timesheet, answer your emails, or preorder my cottagegore horror HOME SICK coming out with @solarisbooks.bsky.social in 2026.

So only do it if you want to. Preorder, I mean.

You should probably do your timesheets.

I loved this one – and reviewed it here. One of the highlights of my audiobook year. Well worth adding to your library if you're on Audible!

*Looks directly to camera as she's about to edit an 82k word document for the 7th time*
This fight over “should authors get paid for their work” debate boils down to this: many, MANY people do not see art as labor.
If art isn’t labor, then you don’t have to change your political views to justify piracy. Easy peasy!

This list is so important to keep my horror section up to date!! Get your books on here if you haven’t already!
I'm in the final stages of getting the 2026 new horror list ready to launch, so a reminder: please let me know about your books if you haven't already! RTs very appreciated
do you have a horror/horror-ish book coming out in 2026? tell me about it here, please! I'm working on the 2026 horror list and while I'm very good at sniffing out new books, I still miss things - help me help you!

As you probably noticed, I completed my @solarisbooks.bsky.social dev edits last month (and went slightly mad in the process).

Well, I recently got feedback on the edit and - good news! - it went great :D

Here are some comments from my editor @alrutter.bsky.social to whet your appetite 👀

I love the fact that you could go wild trying to guess the blanked words in that first screenshot.

What teeny "blank" might I have been snorting at? 🤣

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.
