Thank you to David-Jack Fletcher for creating these awards. The need for queer voices in horror literature is at an all-time high and it feels AMAZING to be recognized. Thank you also to @nwreader.bsky.social, who agreed to publish my book, who helped bring it to life and brought it to readers.

It's all deja vu with CM/Hedone and just brings up a familiar disappointment all over again. Authors that were orphaned, you can always reach out to Truborn and see if your stories fit in here. Or I can help you try to find homes elsewhere.

Unfortunately small presses close all the time, and their baby bird books need to find a new nest. My fledgling sun-vampire queer cannibal novella, SUNBATHERS, now needs a new home, as does my sapphic pirate novella QUEEN O'NINE TAILS. If you know a toothy little home for either, please hit me up!
