Wayward Souls has officially dropped on Netgalley!! (Now with the correct release date 😅). I can't wait to share this next chapter in Hel and Sam's story. It's more gothic and more sapphic and so much more complicated. I hope you enjoy!

Preorder Wayward Souls at my local indie, Brick & Mortar, and you can get a signed and personalized copy :)

Every location has a picket line in front of it. Don’t cross the line.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is 100% true for me!
i think having a machine in your pocket that you compulsively look at to fill that time instead is smothering a lot of creative thought in the cradle. it's like mental crop rotation, there's gotta be a fallow period for anything to grow

I'll be at World Fantasy next week! Find me haunting the halls like an over-caffeinated wraith, or at my events. I hope to see you there!

Happy one year of Strange Beasts!

I will never get over walking into a bookstore and seeing Strange Beasts on the shelves, the incredible cosplay of my characters, or the emails from readers saying they feel seen. 💜 Thank you all for everything!!

Like a belated birthday present, the UK version of Strange Beasts is out now in paperback! Can you believe it’s been nearly a year since Strange Beasts released? It’s so surreal! If you’ve been waiting, or just collecting all the covers, now is your time.

New hair! I’ll take proper pictures later, but as I’ll be at World Fantasy soon, and given that people tend to recognize me via my magenta pixie cut, I thought it might be good to give people a heads up that I look a bit different. Thank you for the new autumnal cut and color, Katt!!

what's that I see on the horizon? is it? IT IS! it is the pure light of a new @susanjmorris.bsky.social Harker & Moriarty novel coming in 2026!

if you haven't read the first (Strange Beasts), it is a wonderful period urban fantasy that leaves you with an almost physical sensory experience.

Today's #SapphicSeptember rec:

Strange Beasts, by @susanjmorris.bsky.social

Reluctant partners in paranormal investigation, solving a string of supernatural murders in Belle Epoque Paris! Slow burn with lots of delicious angst, twisty plot, plus a setting to get lost in.

Whew! I'm ready for October 1st!

Just a reminder: I'll open for 7 days from the 1st, or until I get 100 new queries. Whichever comes first!

Been asked about this a lot since yesterday, which is nice.

You can get signed copies of Magic, Maps, and Mischief here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's rudimentary, but I'm not really that good at this self-publishing lark!
