Regarding the #Odyssey - I have heard that nearly all men love it, and nearly all women hate it. Since I am neither, I will reserve judgment until I've seen the movie on DVD, but I'll be surprised if I like it. I nearly always prefer the original books to the movies that ensue.

Looking for something short and sweet? Or something short and savoury? Short and #spicy, maybe? Look no further. By the way, this one's on Amazon, but it's invisible to Amazon searches, so you'll need to use the buy link. 1link.st/seramaddoxdr...

I don't think I'm in the same league as Homer, or even anywhere near, but since something based loosely on his poetry is currently trending, I thought it might be a good time to flash a book cover that makes use of Agamemnon's funeral mask. (Also, my poetry *is* pretty decent). seramaddoxdrake.com

Yes, I used Agamemnon's funeral mask as the cover for my poetry collection. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

"Naughty Tentacles" (really, not that naughty)

A human male, clothed in about ten overlays, and a genitalia-free mannequin, both technically nude and both wearing hats and face coverings. I have no idea why Bluesky is trying to censor this. Must be the title "Naughty Tentacles." Er. One of the overlays is a tentacle.

Happy Pride Month. Let all of us who are members of the "alphabet Mafia" (LGBTQIAPK+ etc etc) rejoice that we are here, queer, fabulous, and still standing despite attempts from various corners to erase our very existence. Pride is our heartbeat. I am, I am, I am...

I remember watching a late-night comic in the '70s doing a shtick, "Imagine Bob Dylan getting old," which was a very Yiddish (politically correct?...no?) old-country grandpa singing 'Like a Rolling Stone" Like, people didn't think these guys were going to age?

Along with Kirkus and Publishers Weekly star winners and a Kennedy Center Award winner, my novel was named a finalist for the 2026 Hawthorne Prize. Could someone please help mop me off the floor? I think I just fainted.

If I ever have a blog, I think I'll call it "Pizza At A Chinese Buffet."

When you write litfic, but it's erotica (or when you write erotica, but it's litfic) you are basically pizza at a Chinese buffet. Sigh.

The month is already half over, and I still haven't made one single pride post. Oopsie! Hi, I'm Sera, I'm a writer and an artist, and I'm on the autistic spectrum. So are the characters I write about, mostly because I haven't the foggiest idea how to get into the head of a neurotypical person.

Happy Autistic Pride Month! Here are a bunch of gold things layered on top of each other, because Light It Up Gold. I'm using them to highlight my novel, which has two main characters that are just as autistic as I am.

I appear to violate a rule about there being only two genders, biologically determined at birth. I have been warned. I have been given an explanation. Nevertheless, I EXIST. (For the record, I am nonbinary. Genderfluid, my default mode being agender)

#TreeFlowers! #WildflowerHour Sadly, the endless stormy gales hitting Glasgow the past few days have knocked all the blossoms to the ground, where they are still beautiful. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 さくら

Cherry blossoms coating the pavement, still beautiful though.
