Very honored by @s2fjournal.bsky.social's nomination - my very first! Deeply appreciative of @sorrenbriarwood.com for trusting me with their words to build off of. A wonderful collab that had me thinking in directions I wouldn't have otherwise explored. #poetry #BestOfTheNet #poem #booksky

I worked with the cool people over at Uncovered.ink to put together a reading list of three dark fantasy where the usual wonder inherent in fantasy comes with a grave cost. You can open every cover and start reading here: uncovered.ink/articles/dar... #Booksky #Fantasy #DarkFantasy #ReadingList

I'm so pleased with the poem @thejoelest.bsky.social built out of a nagging thought I couldn't figure out where to take. They really turned the ideas into something poignant. So pleased to have had the chance to read this result of collaboration. #poetry #poem #writing #writingsky

I love “Lost Sea” by @mithalanis.bsky.social (Flame) and @sorrenbriarwood.com (Spark). The form! The imagery! The sea–gone. Check it out, page 8: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

A new writing-focused podcast that looks at the first chapter of a book and then extrapolates what they think the rest of the story will be. They were kind enough to feature my novel as their first book discussion! #podcast #writing #books #booksky #DebtToTheDead open.spotify.com/show/1T2qLJx...

"You've returned too late." "Too late? For what?" "There's nothing left to save." "I'm not here for any of that," Anuhea said. "I'm just looking for a little old magic to repay a debt. #DebtToTheDead #writing #booksky #books #reading #writingcommunity #fantasy #bookexcerpt

“I come seeking the aid of Anuhea the Many-Handed, as he was known in the human lands.” “Well, Anuhea you have found. But, alas, he who has only two hands. Not many." #DebtToTheDead #writing #booksky #books #reading #writingcommunity #fantasy #bookexcerpt

Editing a short story, trying to shave a bit off of 8,000 words . . . end up with 10,000. I think I've done something wrong . . . Gonna need a few more passes to trim this up, I suppose. #writing #writinglife #amwriting #editing #doingitwrong

I'm delighted with how Sam Kerbel took a little thought I had that didn't fit anywhere and built so much around it. Definitely give it a read when you have a moment!

"Everyone will be trying to kill you the moment they see you." "People have wanted to kill me before." "An entire army?" "No, not quite that many." #DebtToTheDead #writing #booksky #books #reading #writingcommunity #fantasy #bookexcerpt
