What theory (or combination of theories) of Halloween best describes you? It's a celebration of imagination! It's about spookiness and scares! It's about sexiness and flirtation! It's all about the candy (or booze)! It's only for kids!

Hornytown Chutzpah is a satire and a romp. A demon is framed for murder in that part of Hell that got raised into Washington D.C. because the Devil realized humans tortured each other better than his own workforce. Now, a detective with a super soaker full of Manischewitz must figure it out piclink

Some say you should act cool. I say enjoy every new thing like a child. In that spirit, I'm excited to find @megelison.bsky.social Foundling Fathers, @slashnburnett.bsky.social ExPartum, @jomiles.bsky.social Last Chronicle of Yeneh & my novella Hornytown Chutzpah on the SFWA recommended reading list

Hornytown Chutzpah's on the SFWA's recommended reading list. Okay, not a big bar to clear, but it is the 1st time one of my works has been included. Check it out. After the devil took a vacation in D.C. he decided to upskill the workforce & a demon is framed for murder. sfwa.org/recommended-...

Recently, I finished this book called the Dragon of Ynys by @minervacerridwen.bsky.social & I really enjoyed it! It includes a lot of queer characters, the story is very sweet, heartwarming & of course, Snap the dragon is absolutely perfect. It’s such a comforting little book that made me so happy 🐉

A hand holding up a paperback book that reads the Dragon of Ynys. The author’s name at the bottom reads Minerva Cerridwen. The book cover features a snowy landscape with hills, a large dragon in the center and two smaller humans following behind.

@kjy1066.bsky.social reminded me to celebrate the little victories. He's right! He's right so let me unironically toot my own horn. I'm (Hornytown Chutzpah is) in the game for two literary awards!

People made excuses, but the economy was terrible the first go around... even before the pandemic. It's crazy how bad people's short term memory is or party tribalism is or their horror for voting for a woman is.

According to the retailers it's Christmas already. It feels a little early. Maybe the answer is to buy everyone Halloween candy for the Christmas present?

People return to their patterns. They falter into old habits. Their self-reflection focused on too tight a beam in order to resuscitate old definitions.
