THE FOREST BLEEDS is coming Fall 2026!! beyond grateful that Union Square & Co. is publishing my Appalachian & Southeast Asian-inspired horror. I can't wait to share my twisted and sapphic story (with a side of cryptids and weird horniness) with the world! 🦌🩸🌲

It’s fun being a writer and trying to write during this delightful era. I’ll write like three paragraphs and before I start on the fourth I blink and I’m doomscrolling and I don’t even remember commanding my hand to click to that tab. Then I go back to writing. Everything is fine! It’s all fine.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

DON'T LET THE FOREST IN x ARCANE Jim's graduate research was meant to bring salvation to rural regions like his own. Healing, with a simple telepathic command. Growth. But not all growth is good for the body—or soul. Lucky for Jim, botanist Bash is *excellent* at pruning. #P2Ppit #Q #A #SF #F

Megan Bontrager | THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD out now! 🌊 @megbontra.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

So what’s this thing about, anyway? 🌊✨🗡️ Here’s a blurb to tide you over (ba dum tsss). THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD is coming Summer 2026 from Orbit US/UK. The Descent x Dante’s Inferno — claustrophobia, eldritch cults, and biblically accurate angels, oh my! Art by @warickaart.bsky.social 🖤 #booksky

A graphic depicting character art from THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD against an ocean background, with "cover coming soon" over the characters' heads. The book's title and release date are also included.

A plot blurb for THE SEA HIDES ITS DEAD, with the header "ATONE OR DIE" : Grad student Caro has no idea what she wants to do with her life, but when an opportunity arises to act as a research assistant on an anthropological expedition for her professor and lover, Edward Beck, she doesn’t hesitate.

Beck assembles a team of academics and professionals to study the ancient sea-based Cult of the Leviathan, and the expedition descends into the sea caves where the cult are said to have dwelt.

But when the cave entrance collapses, trapping them inside, the expedition will find they are not alone in the darkness. Surrounded by strange artefacts and scattered bones, an ancient trial has been set in motion. One by one, the members of the expedition will be tested and forced to atone for their greatest sin… or die.

should I host another #MeetMyMCs for the writing community on Bluesky, then? (for those who missed it the first time: it's an event where you get to shout out about the main characters in your WIPs, tell us about them, their motivation, their story, etc! it's very fun!)
