If you haven’t been reading @maeisafraid.bsky.social’s Women in Horror Month interviews, please do yourself a favor & check them out! I’ve been enjoying it so much that I asked Mae if I could interview her & she graciously agreed! Check it out here! tiffanymorris.ca/2025/03/31/w...

A photo of Mae Murray with a headline that says “Mae Murray for Women in Horror Month” and then a caption that says “It doesn’t matter how little you have, there will always be those who believe they deserve it more. I dream of a world where we are in collaboration with one another, not in competition”.

This is old news now, BUT... I want to see if the power of the internet can help me get @david-jenkins.bsky.social's attention so I can ask him for a blurb for my upcoming book, which was inspired directly by #OurFlagMeansDeath because it helped me get through the darkest moment of my life. 🥹 👉👈

Katie Abdou’s A PRINCE AMONG PIRATES, pitched as Our Flag Means Death for fans of F.T. Lukens and Aiden Thomas, with the irreverent voice of MY LADY JANE, in which a foppish nobleman accidentally joins a pirate ship and falls for its debonair captain, to Feather Flores at
Atheneum, in a good deal, at auction, for publication in summer 2026, by Keir Alekseii at Azantian Literary Agency (NA).

I started writing in the kidlit space and my heart still lives there, but somehow adult short stories became what I work on the most right now. Tell me about your writing path, where you started vs. what you are working on now. 🖤 #writingcommunity

What if I worked on a project on and off for almost 3 years, deleted the ending, then just decided to re-write the whole damn thing? Have I lost my mind? 🫠🫠🫠

I don’t watch movies often and decided to watch Maxxxine today. I loved it! But my sister informed me that I’m all out of order with the trilogy. Should I watch Pearl before X?? Or the other way around??
