2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.

Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

IT'S VITAL TO SUPPORT indie pubs that encourage risk & diversity. Here's a 🧵 of em you can support directly:

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I hope you check it out, and if you do, I hope you enioy. Thanks!!

Thanks for the great questions Eryn!

Say Uncle dropped in April and I would love for folks to check it out!
Here we go #HorrorWritersChat!
Please, promo your stuff. Shout loud about what you've got on the boil. Tell us about your latest release.
However, please also: repost mutuals and those here tonight.
And if you could, repost some of Matt's books, who founded this chat and nursed it from its infancy.

Loss of power especially when that power is lost to someone they viewed as beneath them. When the victim wields the weapon of their destruction, all hell breaks loose. Love it.
Q4 is up. Ten minutes to outro and the promo: I am still working my way through. You're all wonderful busy bees today and I adore you!
This one is a little easier. No archetypes!

Uncle Pauly (antag Say Uncle) - being seen for who he really is.
Braden (protag Say Uncle) - the thing growing in the upstairs apartment.
Richie (protag Saint's Blood) - the guys who kidnapped him.
The Kidnappers (antag Saint's Blood) - their brother's cancer.

YMMV if you read the books

Masculinity means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, so I think whether it's being leaned into, subverted or weaponized depends on pov.

Maybe it's a cop out to say a whole novel, but Say Uncle is about the way toxic masculinity is passed between generations.
Q3. I'm doing what I can to answer everyone, and repost, so bear with me. So I don't keep you waiting, I'll throw out 3. Interpret this one how you like. I know many queer folks like me do not align masculinity with man shaped. And with horror, we love to subvert our tales.

I frequently write about toxic masculinity, something I grew up with and around. I like to push that toxicity to it's extremes, which can be terrifying and highlight how that way of thinking/life destroys the folks who practice it.
Well then, #HorrorWritersChat. What's an archetype anyway? I jest. We're all writers here... after alllllllll....

I'm Ryan. I write horror comedy and comedy about horror. There are a spectrum of men in my books, as there are in the world. What creates friction in both Say Uncle and Saint's Blood is the interactions of men who lean into gender and men who are trying to break free of it
Here we go, #HorrorWritersChat!

Q1 has arrived. It's international men's day today, and I thought actually that's a good topic. Not the easiest one to build questions around, either. So if I do not hit the mark I am sure you will forgive me.
As usual, no links, no pitches, not till the end.

I'm still working on recovering my full strength so I can't get a part time job yet. Currently commissions are the easiest way for me to earn money. If you've got a hot idea and want to see it on the screen let me write it up good for you! Send commission inquiries to [email protected]
Due to another emergency I'm opening up another 1 or 2 slots for commissions. If you want a custom short piece of erotica then email me at [email protected]
