A slasher in the snow. A story of madness and blood beneath the ice.

When the temperature drops, book sales rise, coincidence? I think not.

Stay warm. Read more. Support your local shelves. ❤️❄️

I like Thanksgiving ok but wish it wasn’t illegal on this day to ever stop eating. C’mon, I’ve had too much already and can’t keep doing this until midnight. Don’t arrest me.

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

Answer to the above question, in 7 words in case anyone'swondering:

"Panel One: Exterior. D-Day landing, Normandy beach."

7 words and the artist will be busy for days.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.
Alice Wong
Alice Wong had an outsized impact on Disability justice. As a community organiser, activist, mentor, and co-conspirator, as writer, editor, and friend, she is irreplaceable.

On a dark, cold, wet PNW day like today, are you listening to the soundtrack to Deadman, Once, or Into the Wild?

That feeling when you're editing a short story you wrote ages ago and yeah... there's a clothes chute in your MC's double-wide. 😶‍🌫️

Huge love to Third Place Books for adding Snowman to their shelves at both Lake Forest Park and Seward Park shops. I have stars for eyes right now that the book is now a few feet away from where I got a pic with @chucktingle.bsky.social on his Lucky Day tour!

YOU WEREN’T MEANT TO BE HUMAN is out today 🪱

My horror novel about worms, cults, unwanted pregnancy, Roe V Wade, undiagnosed autism, and trans men’s invisibility in discussions about reproductive justice…

I can’t believe it’s on shelves. Thank you ALL 😩💕

Spotted today at Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park (Seattle suburb), the best review of @scumbelievable.bsky.social's Manhunt everrrrrr...

Just caught up on the new "Welcome to Derry" show, based on @stephenking.bsky.social's "It" and purportedly a prequel series to the part 1 and 2 movie adaptions.

😳 Huh. Well... I no longer feel self-conscious about the first few chapters of "Snowman" now.

Does your library use @hoopladigital.bsky.social for ebooks? If so, you're in luck!
Grateful to see Snowman featured in horror ebooks right now!

This is informative AF. I've seen a lot of review-bombing for genre works written by trans authors that made me wonder if we even read the same book. This gets to the crux of it all and I can't wait to get to Wrath Goddess Sings in my way-too-long TBR list.
