My free to read short story, Under the Slippery Sky, is about how much we stand to lose when we dismiss indigenous and traditional ways of knowing in favor of 'modern' technology, written in collaboration for the Applied African SF and BSFA Vector project 👇

Just realized I don't have plans to unalive any major characters in this book (yet) and wow--um--this is so unlike me. Should I let them live this time?? Or should I stay true to form and off someone? 😈😈😈

OMG, the opening scene of episode 4 of Daredevil: Born Again is just 👌👌👌👌

I want a Bullseye spin-off.

So, if aeroplanes are still flying in June, I will not only be in South Africa but I will also be in Cape Town 😎 for a wonderful bookish event with Mirari Press that I am so excited about!! More details coming soon...

A new #bookreview from the ever wonderful @xanwriter.bsky.social today, for a sci-fi novel described as The Last of Us meets The Walking Dead - How We End, by L. M. Juniper

7 would be truly terrible

I guess 😆 but it still doesn't make me happy 😂

Is anyone else as bugged as I am by TV shows having 9 episodes. Not 8. Not 10. But 9. WHY!?!?!? That's like rating something out of 7 stars!! It hurts my brain so much I almost don't want to watch this show.

On the topic of conventions, will you come to FinnCon this year??

What a productive 'rest' day 😆 I managed to complete a marketing task and formatting/proofreading for Born of Malice, and then I added 1500 words to the YA horror WIP 😍 (I even slipped in some household chores and a game of Munchkin!)

#booksky #amwriting

I highly recommend this stunning post-apocalyptic novel in verse. It absolutely blew me away with its intensity and beauty.

Storygraph month wrap-up graphic showing the number of books read (15), pages (3843), and average rating (4.1). Highest rated books included Homebody by Theo Parish. Most read category this month was LGBTQIA+

March was a pretty good month for reading 🥰

How'd everyone else do?

#booksky

It will when it's done 😍

The new horror novel is now over 40k words !!! 🥳🥳🥳

(and since my agent loved the blurb, I guess it's officially a WIP) ☺️

#amwriting

I added 1800 fresh words to the WIP today. Writing has been a little slow lately with life things demanding more of time but knowing my agent loves the idea of this book has definitely renewed my motivation! I'm just shy of 40k words now, so about half way! 🎊

When your author headshot taken in 2024 by your partner in your own home gets accused of being AI generated 🤣🤣🤣

(yes, the one in my profile pic)

Oh, I love Turisas. So interesting!

I'm about to finish Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree, and listening to the new Gaerea album called Loss.

Oof, that show sounds intense!

You're reading the book? Or watching the new film version?

What's everyone reading?

Or listening to, or watching??

Sometimes, I'll read a super interesting article or see a call for contributors that makes me miss academia and regret giving up on my PhD. Sometimes, I really do want to go back to uni, but then I remember my friends who are academics and their constant list of woes 😅

An advert for an ebook sale. Read text on a graffiti style blue/green/purple background with white splash marks reads: Trans Rights Readathon eBook sale. There are two book covers, one for By the Blood of Rowans and the other one for The Other Me by Xan van Rooyen. Black text with an orange outline reads March 17-31. Red text with a white outline reads 0.99c. Black text with an orange outline in the bottom left cornerr eads Links in bio and in caption.

My two self-pubbed books featuring trans/nonbinary characters will be 99c for the duration of the Trans Rights Readathon, wherever you buy books.

The universal buy link can be found in my linktree in my bio.

😍😍😍

Look at it!!!

🎊😍🎊

Ah, that warm fuzzy feeling when the title of your WIP unexpectedly slides seamlessly into a bit of prose in the middle of a particularly good paragraph and everything just feels right with the world 😊

*it's important to savor these smalls moments of delight

#booksky #amwriting

Thank you @tinyghostpress.bsky.social !!

I've just seen the finalized cover for my cyberpunk Dorian Gray retelling, EXQUISITE DECAY, and I am in AWE!! It is STUNNING!! I cannot wait to share it 😍😍😍 *watch this space*
