Friends, I got to see a proof of the forthcoming Tales of Sley House 2025, edited by Lillian Ehrhart, and I CAN'T WAIT for you all to see it! If you're a fan of Creepshow, you're gonna love the inspiration - and the interior - of this anthology. Also, I get to share this TOC with...

During this sapphic September, how about adding a bit of toxic yuri to your diet? Enamoured: A Triptych is a historic, erotic, horror novella about love and makeup and capitalism. Come for the steamy scenes and… well… you know 😉

Why had no one told me about how amazing In Fabric is? When a movie has a credit for mannequin pubic hair you KNOW you're in for a wild ride. Extremely bizarre department stores, hypnotic laundry repair men, a very killer dress, what more could you possibly need?

Writing smut is so much more fun than writing anything else. Well except for gory gooshy gross smut. That’s probably peak.

Three-lobed gave a home to one of my favourite stories of all time (www.3lobedmag.com/issue43/3lbe...) and I will always be grateful for them. They’ve also published some truly incredible work, too many to name in a post. Please support them if you can!

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO THE MAIDEN VOYAGE OF THE FLESH OF THE SEA🥳🐠🐡 (A little bit late but what is time keeping?) Though the waters were rocky and the skies were often covered, it was a grand adventure and I couldn’t have been happier to do it alongside my co-captain @lormaggot.ca

I messed up with my library holds and had to go pick up A TON of books. On the bright side, I’ve got plenty of books to chose from now! On the not so bright side, sixteen books is a lot of pressure. Still not sure what the max number of books I can have put at once and I’m scared to find out.

very little beats the feeling of figuring out what is wrong with a project you're working on, putting those changes into effect and realize what you've come up with is even better than you thought it would be!

You can't defend gore, violent, gruesome media without defending sex and erotic media. Both go hand in hand, there's eroticism in the grotesque, theres horror in the sensual. Your "purity" about sex won't save you if you think making war is better than making love

Last summer I released a gay pirate novella with monsters and romance with my best friend @lormaggot.bsky.social. It's called The Flesh Of the Sea and you should check it out

The final part of my essay series on the making of enamoured is here! Who knew writing a book exploring the interplay between love and capitalism, art and commerce would turn out to cause a bit of an existential crisis about book advertising!
