My friend @esselle.bsky.social made a book trailer for #DeadMansBlood 😳 She was a creative co-conspirator for this toxic little book and a perfect cheerleader.
Dead Man's Blood is an adult horror romance; it's spicy, it's angry, and it's really gay.

I wrote a polemic today while doing a survey. It's definitely a polemic. but I was asked the question of what I wanted the researchers to understand about being a professional writer.
And actually, I want everyone to understand this.
I posted it on ko-fi. I'm asking for tips; I'm broke.

The insistence on "likeable characters" has really messed up novels, which are obviously best when narrated by a weird little delusional freak
