RIDE OR DIE x LOVE ME LIKE A ROCK SONG When her mom is caught in a magical trap, a nonbinary golem goes on the road to save her, with her ace sister. She must negotiate with witches, fight shapeshifters, and face a family curse, or lose her sister, and maybe herself. #DVPit #OWN #LGBT #DIS #TV #A

THE FOX AND THE DEVIL X HELL'S HEART In a vampire normative future, governments restrictions around gender affirming medicines start Delaney on their quest towards being turned into one of the changeless undead. It seems like the better option. #DVPit #LGBT #SFF #A
Mood board reads: The Monster They'd Courted. At the top it says 'Part twisted vampire horror'. At the bottom it says 'Part sapphic sci-fi schenanigans'. The four comp titles appear as Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, The Fox and the Devil, Volatile Memory and Hell's Heart

“It’s not a big moment, or at least, it doesn’t seem like one within the context of a rom-com […] That, in some ways, makes it even better. Olive doesn’t get a big identity crisis; she just has a conversation with her roommate.”

“Nicole Field’s ‘The Widow and the Raven‘ runs Mina Harker’s journal straight into Poe’s ‘The Raven,’ a mashup that could have been a gimmick but instead lands its ending well.” From a generous review by Andrew Byers for OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM on @hellnotes.bsky.social ❤️🙏 See full review below!

(I'm not on Instagram) But it has come to my attention that a public statement and apology was recently made after the below review of Adventitious Magazine's first issue. @adventitiouswords.bsky.social, it would be my great pleasure to formally accept your apology on behalf of us all 😆
Screengrab from Adventitious' Instagram about a much needed apology regarding the amazing short story by P. A. Cornell entitled "The Soundtrack of My Afterlife"Text reads: It has come to my attention that, in a recent review of the first issue of the magazine featured in Interstellar Flight Magazine, Nicole Field refers to Red's situation as "rein-car-nation."Text reads: I should have made that pun. 

I never did. In 7 months since the release of the story, I never even thought of it. 

For that, I am so, so sorry.

A blurb that reads: "The Last Infinity is a thrilling, ambitious read that expertly balances the danger of a time-traveling colony on Mars with the timelessness of love and found family. I wish that I could turn back the clock and read it again for the first time." - Bethany Mangle, author of Prepped.
