I'm not anti-technology.

But I'm opposed to technology destroying my life.

Why is that hard to understand?

Horrible you!

Are you an indie author? Do you have a new release scheduled in SF/F/Horror? Would you like it to be featured on my blog's monthly new release list?

Any indies have SF/F/H books coming out in May?

I'm building next month's new release post, and there's room for new titles! You can submit the book info using the form below 😊

Eeden explains the charm he uses to find Rose.

For sure!

So sad. And more proof that animals do grieve.

From The Seeker's Charm, a bit spoilerish but, oh well...

“We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”
“How do you know I’m mad?” asked Alice.
“You must be,” purred the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Slip down the rabbit hole and curl up with a clever literary cat today… if you dare. 🐱📖 #Caturday

Rose realizes that Eeden has sent the snow in order to keep her homebound, out of the woods and away from Jonathon.

His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley.

Moe's Spring #MSWL Seeing me at a conference soon? Stalking socials to see what I’m looking for when I re-open to queries? You’ve come to the right place!

I Have A Website! After almost eleven (!!) years in the industry, I’ve finally joined the 21st century and designed myself a website. Check it out for my up to date MSWL calls as well as client and illustrator updates. #TeamMoe has some pretty amazing projects coming up! www.moeferrara.com

Kidlit Updates: Picture Books & Graphic Novels: This year I will only consider projects by author/illustrators. No text-only projects. Please include a link to your dummy with your query or else it won’t be considered. Middle Grade & Young Adult: While I will always be open to MG/YA clients, this year I’m prioritizing crossover YA and New Adult projects.

Adult Updates: Yes, I'm getting back into Adult Fiction! This year, I’m on the hunt for rom-coms, fantasy, urban fantasy, romantasy, light horror, or anything with a speculative bent. Character ages can range from fully adult to crossover/new adult. Right now my MSWL is pretty broad as I hone in on exactly what I want. AKA, unless it’s on my anti-MSWL, send it my way! Anti-MSWL (AKA, what *not* to send me) - Women’s Fiction - Upmarket Fiction - Literary Fiction - Hard Sci-Fi - Military-centric - Thrillers - Epic Fantasy

I'm mostly hanging out on threads these days (come follow me over there! Though, tbh, threads is mostly "moe yells about hockey" 🐧 )

Guess who has opened to queries again! Click through the posts here for my visual #MSWL. #querytrenches #queryingauthors #amagenting

Yea, Finn, is much less subtle.

It's #Caturday!
Time to play Find the Cats. The black one, Arti, is sneaky.

cover of LIVING BRIDGES shows an adult and child working on the roots that will be incorporated into the bridge surrounded by other plants; photo taken of book in my hand in front of outdoor area with dirt, brown leaves, trees, and low log bridge in background

Loved learning about bridges made from woven roots! Fascinating back matter. LIVING BRIDGES, written by @authorsandhya.bsky.social with lovely art by Avani Dwivedi. #kidlit 📚👍

“When Children Are Asleep” (oil on canvas, 1885), by Thomas Faed (1825–1900). A woman wearing a simple, pale grey Victorian dress and a white bonnet, with a yellow shawl around her shoulders, sits next to a small fireplace, reading a book. She holds the book in her right hand, and holds out her left hand to warm it in the orange glow of the fireplace. Behind her, in a half-open box-bed, two small children are sleeping. Two piles of clothes are on the floor, along with a couple of scraps of paper. Two small pairs of socks are draped over the iron fire-guard in front of the fire.

“When Children Are Asleep” (oil on canvas, 1885), by Thomas Faed (1825–1900). Held by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
