Looking for me? I'm largely shifting toward bluer skies until things look brighter (or something metaphorical like that). Or check out my quarterly-ish writing updates & best recent reads newsletter, at eepurl.com/ixb4Jo

My climate-raging, multiple-references abecedarian is free to read @HavenSpec ! (And if “abecedarian” is a new-to-you word, take a look at the first letter of each line 🔤)

So, I've somewhat abandoned Twitter/X. It feels like my posts don't get read, and my feed is full of random slush. But in case anyone is still out there from the writing/reading community, my new psychological thriller IF YOU LIE launches on November 1st.

A neo-Gothic retelling of Jane Eyre. The once Jane Doe, Luna Elliot's budding love for Thornfield Hotel's enigmatic owner, E. Rochester, hides a sinister truth. As staff vanish and tragedy strikes, she must confront the darkness within him—and herself. #PitDark #GH #DR #A

A haunted will. Vanishing colleagues. A case tied to an old Chinatown property, ensnares Atty Rhee into dark history. As her sanity unravels, Rhee must chose - the new law firm or warnings from the spirits. #PitDark #A #PH #PT #CSH FEVER DREAM + OTHER BLACK GIRL + occult

@thewriteranne I love volcanoes perhaps too much 😂

DANTE’S PEAK x AT THE MTNS OF MADNESS x Alma Katsu In 1919, a female scientist and her team travel to Siberia to investigate strange volcanic activity. But something very old is rising—and if they don’t stop it, darkness will spread across the world. #PitDark #A #H #HistFic

FAR CRY 5 X APOSTLE X MAEVE FLY A girl stuck in a cult gets possessed by an ancient god & becomes a willing ally in its quest for revenge. The boy she's betrothed to becomes an /unwilling/ ally in his quest to be a good husband. #pitdark #H

✨JADE CITY x Wong Kar Wai x Chinese folklore✨ Bound by contract, betrayed by love. Until a crime boss offers her an out. With freedom within her grasp, her options are clear: seek revenge on the man who scorned her or burn the MF empire down. #pitdark #A #FA #DA #UF #own #poc

@RayExperience Yes! I'm also querying agents with a novel, but it's been PitDark'd enough 😅. I know there are indie pubs lurking out here somewhere that are maybe more appropriate for collections.... (good luck!)

I went to see if anyone else is doing collections this PitDark and this sounds like absolutely what I want to read!

@melisfluous Thanks Melissa!!

@HaileyPiperSays Gorgeous!!! Such classic pulp. And ooh, only $23 CAD with free shipping to Canada!?

I feed 80 street dogs every morning in Thailand and while they are all grateful one dog goes above and beyond in her appreciation. Her name is Snickers and every single day without fail she brings me a gift… (1/8) 🧵
