Riser's NOT ONLY WILL THIS KILL YOU BUT IT WILL HURT THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE DYING, in which a trans street kid turned necromancer trying to bring about the end of the world is captured by rival cultists from across the ocean, but traps them in turn in his crumbling tower surrounded by cosmic storms, only for the three to find themselves locked in a tender erotic cannibalistic stalemate with each other and the Old Ones, to Alex Woodroe at Tenebrous Press, for publication in summer 2027.

SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT!

"O Tenebrous, WHY haven't you released more tender necromantic trans erotic cannibalism-tinged Weird Fantasy WHYYY"

10 Ways War Harms Wildlife • The Revelator Bombs and bullets are just the beginning. After that comes toxic chemicals, noise, disease, poaching and worse.

Just finished EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU, a tradwife murder mystery, and watching How To Get To Heaven From Belfast. Both fun romps with insidious little secrets.

Manatee coming up for air in a clear, spring fed river

Florida gar in a clear, spring fed rive

Anhingas sunning themselves by a clear, spring fed river

Twisted pine in a flatwood forest

Hanging by a spring, ogling wildlife, never gets old.
A wonderful camping weekend with my sweetie.

March Mammal Madness is nearly here! @mammalssuck.bsky.social (who had one of the best biology handles ever) has shared the #2026MMM teaser trailer below!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

OUT TODAY @titanbooks.bsky.social ! So grateful to tell the stories those who came before me couldn’t or were not permitted to. I do believe we are here for ourselves and for our ancestors. Writing is more than a book for me.
THANK YOU READERS!
