I've never before received a *gift-wrapped* author copy! Thank you to @lyradora.bsky.social for including me. . . and making me sad that I had to break the wrapping to get to the goods!

There is some *lovely* human-made character art here, which is so difficult to find in the age of slop. Go take a look!

This one was so dark and yet, that ending? Perfection.

My gardenias are almost seventeen years old. They tower over my yard. . . and haven't bloomed since they were ten. Send me a poem to revive them!

I am *loving* Nighthawks so far. The writing is *smart*, and NPCs don't do the *convenient* thing for the player character--sometimes, they can be damned *inconvenient* and annoyingly smart, in a "Damnit, how'd you find out I told the doctor THAT??" kind of way. :D

I am waiting for my physical copy with baited breath!

Deborah L. Davitt, Author @deborahldavitt.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Oooh! I had a chance to read some of the poems in this collection before it was accepted for publication; it's amazing, and it's wonderful to see this go live!

I've been quiet about this one until I had some definite news, but this book is available now!! It's a book that's both taken a long time to come to fruition and a whirlwind of a rush at the same time. Published by Island of Wak-Wak, the same as my poetry chapbook from two years ago.

cover art, text reads "Daniel Ausema, The Fall of the City of Bells"; images from the public domain shows monks pulling the ropes on a line of bells in an old building

Well, it's also my favorite creepypasta ever, too!

A writing friend has created possibly the creepiest creepypasta I've ever read, in the form of a video game walkthrough. Please do go read!

I believe I had the pleasure of reading this one in rough draft form; there's an aching yearning to the prose that works very well with the topic! Check it out. :)

Love Penumbric! And delighted to appear in their pages once more!

This is live now! I loved Redfern's emotive, yet philosophical reading! As I noted elsewhere, this story is a masterclass in the effective use of *refrain*.

Deborah L. Davitt, Author @deborahldavitt.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Thanks for having me! Really enjoyed Redfern's story; masterclass in philosophy and the use of refrain as a structural device!

Many thanks to @flametree.bsky.social for picking this story up and giving it new life!

The story I've been working on was *supposed* to land at 6k words. Nice. Neat. Marketable. Damnit, brain, I did NOT need to write a third novella this year! They're hard to sell! Not to mention it's a weird blend of genres that is ALSO unsellable. *grump* Anyway. Finishing the thing.

Considering the number of people who leave up their damned candidacy bumper stickers till the car itself dies, I think that's fine, lol.

Okay, thanks! Very happy to know, and will definitely be there!

Thanks so much! Will let my peeps know, too!

@deepcutpress.bsky.social I'm getting a Bad Gateway on most parts of your site today--the magazine itself, and the submissions guidelines are both not functional. The .org overarching site is there, though!

We don't know each other, but your post about Rodney hits me squarely in the "old pet" feels. It's bittersweet, but while your house is now empty, you did amazing things for him, and he got an extra eleven months there at the end that he might not have otherwise. <3 Thank you for sharing this.

Coming up next week! I will be reading three flash fictions for @storyhour.bsky.social on September 2nd, at 7 PM PDT. (Or, you know, 9 pm CDT, which means I will be sleeeepy!) The three stories in question are: "Papyrates," "An Endless Sea of Diamond Dust," and "A Mother's Love."

I obviously don't share cat and dog pictures nearly enough here. Neko here displays that his floof cannot be contained! He is a long boi!

I sat, terrified, in the passenger seat every day while my son piloted to and from school. I was . . . marginally okay then. I had time off from that, and this summer, my husband had kiddo drive us to lunch. We are talking full-fledged panic attack in the back seat for me. Heart rate, breathing, ugh

I'm really happy to be able to post about this one: strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po... This one got its start in a yearly challenge I run on Codex, a forum for pro and neo-pro authors. I call it 'Victory in Verse.' It started life as a rime couee, but it evolved to free verse!
