I open my eyes and both animals are in my face, because mom's up and NOW WE'RE GOING TO EAT.

From monstresses to iconic scream queens, we're celebrating women in horror all month long culminating with our annual Terror-Thon this Halloween weekend. See the full lineup by clicking the link in bio.

Also the US has never had free & fair elections for everyone, and if this is your first time worrying about it, welcome to the party! Fortunately lots of people have been here for decades and know what to do, if you are ready to listen!

"Yet little remains of this ingenuity. Some examples survive in glass and ivory, but exhibits are scarce; leather rots, wax deforms, glass breaks. Even when a dildo survives, it may be given another name..."

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

*glares at kitchen cabinets* Okay, kids, I'm back to work.

Let me just say that when you lower yourself to picking a fight with me, I know the really well-known authors aren't paying attention to you.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Congratulations, Brazil!! Lula's win is wonderful, not just for what it says about Brazilians, but it also shows that mega-billionaires, who promote fascists and pour money into elections, can be beat.

Once more for those in the back, especially fascists seeking notoriety through "engagement:" you'll earn the fastest block in the southeast with one reply. I don't engage. You're not worth my time.

Why, yes, this is about that File 770 post by a certain person:

The ebook of Breath and Bone is currently on sale at all the usual places. Go for it! You know you need some new sword and sorcery in your life. www.candlemarkandgleam.com/shop/breath-...

Breath and Bone quote, day 6: "Um," I heard. "Um, sir, my lord, I think Godling Thallyn wants you to come with us. If-if you don't mind, my lord." And then when he turned that molten stare on her, [...] "It's just a sword and your sister needs you." And he gave a huff of laughter and bowed.

I'm conflicted because, yes, it's historical, but it's also a Nazi pilgrimage site. I'd like to see a placard there, explaining the historical significance of the area without rebuilding. The ruins should be enough. apnews.com/article/germ...

As an addendum to my local public library posts: I asked them about the latest Stephen Graham Jones novel and they both squealed (they're horror fans and love Jones's books, too) and then they put a hold on it for me. This is so wonderful. So. Much. Good. Horror.

When I heard Vikas Adam read the dialogue between Miquel and Diago, I knew I had the right narrator for my books. No virtual voice could have read the love into that scene the way Vikas did.

ahem *taps keyboard* Excuse me, but I'm popping in to make a quick plug for my novel, Where Oblivion Lives, which is on sale for the merry month of October for only $4.99: awfulagent.com/ebooks/where...

Started Miserere by @tfrohock.com last night. I love discovering how a book changes over time, and how the author has taken what they've learned since first publishing it to improve the story. This is the fully revised and updated edition. And LOVE that cover! 💜

I made Basement Cat a little bed of an old cardboard box and some old towels. I hope he sleeps in it tonight. When I gave him breakfast this morning he walked within a foot of me (watched me the whole time but didn't run). Winning a cat's trust is tough, kiddos.

The true theme song of any writer worth their salt.

Hahahahaahahahaha fuck both those guys!

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

This morning started with the cat throwing up a prelude to a hairball, the dog crapped on the floor, and one of the toilets backed up. I'm now sitting in my living room, afraid to leave.

I'm still finding my old Twitter peeps here!

And what a special number to land on! ❤️

I love folk horror and I'm so pleased there have been so many good ones released lately. I'm thoroughly enjoying The Hill in the Dark Grove by Liam Higginson.
