My most recent read gets my favorite spot on the bookshelf! Sing Me to Sleep was a fun, spicy, novella featuring a sleep paralysis demon love interest 👀 @rmvirtues.bsky.social is an auto read for me, so no surprises that I loved this, too! 😱😈❤️‍🔥

Writers have expressed interest in 1 flash and 1 short story slot. This means I currently have 1 remaining slot left for developmental edits (with focus on characterization, symbolism, and cohesion/ literary & speculative). 🥰✍

Cis writers, no matter how good your intentions may be, you should probably never introduce a trans femme character by describing her “five o’clock shadow.”

If you don’t know enough about Palestine to understand what’s happening right now, I can recommend this book: The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappe. The Nakba never ended, so you must know about it and the creation of “Israel” in order to understand the present situation.

You can now back this beautiful anthology on Kickstarter! It features my story "The Roots Called Us Home" about a mother goddess reclaiming the land for her ppl & the land fighting back against invaders! Read an excerpt below or at the link! Please share! www.kickstarter.com/projects/133...

Top text (white): "Back us on Kickstarter!"

A graphic of the book cover of "To Root Somewhere Beautiful: An Anthology of Reclamation" featuring the names of all involved authors. Edited by Lauren T. Davila. The cover art features a scene of nature reclaiming manmade structures. A goddess, perhaps manmade, perhaps not, looks on. The edges of the cover blend into the rainforest background.

"THE ROOTS CALLED US HOME" BY ONYX OSIRIS

Keep going…

Chimalli’s stomach churned as they crested the final hill, his legs prepared to give out at a moment’s notice. He could not remember the last full meal he’d had, despite the hours spent hunting and foraging in the past few weeks. He did all the hunting. The gringos did all the eating. That was how it went, he supposed.

The moon peeked over the mountains on the opposite edge of the valley, bathing the lush landscape below in an eerie pearlescent glow. It looked the way it had in his dreams: miles of trees huddled together, bracing against the outside world. Or perhaps they were bowed in worship, all their heads turned toward the tall peak in the center. Atop it sat not only Chimalli’s solace but the source of all his ire—the Church of Remedy.
