@claymcleod.bsky.social I just have to say, the covers to your books are incredible! The writing isn’t bad either ;)

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Support queer pornographers and erotic artists now because the number of remaining avenues for them (us) to get paid are shrinking

And keep hassling payment processors and government

It’s here (and everywhere else August 19th)! So thick. So dark. So full of friends who are amazing writers. Thank you for making it happen, @briankeene.bsky.social and @cgolden.bsky.social. And thank you for letting us play in your universe, @stephenking.bsky.social. A career highlight for me.

Im reading the Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social and now really want a Man in the High Castle style book where we never took America from those who lived here and they kept America all the way through current years. What an amazing country and story that would be!

Relistening to The Shadows by @alexnorth.co.uk and the line “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” is an amazing line. He remains the goat.

@adamcesare.bsky.social I saw Clown in a Cornfield last night! I loved it! The audience loved it! Congrats! PS the book was better.

Loved this story
It’s amazing:
New cover alert for @sgj.bsky.social’s epic novella, NIGHT OF THE MANNEQUINS—coming out on my birthday 💅 in 2026 (Feb 24, mark your calendars)

Apt, because this is one of my favorite covers to date!

Have you pre-ordered your copy?*

*please do because I am going to talk about this book for the rest of the year, so you're going to need the context

The best feeling as a writer is creating something wild you thought might find one or two fans, and then, despite all odds, the project just LANDS.

I’ll never again doubt the adventurousness of my readers. Your ANGEL DOWN enthusiasm is an IV drip giving me life.
