Ooh, love the alternate cover! Great spin on the original

Got my 2nd short story acceptance! Smaller mag, smaller story, equally unhinged protagonist. Stay tuned!

Ah that's so validating. Your cover designs are great and they know it!

I love this for you! Congratulations!!

My front yard 💚

The true secret to my long career: As a midlist writer hanging on to my career one book at a time, I can only control the work I do, not outcomes.
So I work: Drafting Novel W while waiting for edit notes on Novel F. When edits & draft are done, I'll return to the half finished & overdue Novel L.

Late to the news, but so glad to hear this!! Congratulations Alan!! Well done! 🎉

The best music screams me to seep 🖤

Love the tabby face! 😂

Rejected over holiday vacay lol

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet.

Would you be open to creating a tip jar/kofi sort of thing for one-time payments?

Just subbed a piece for the first time in three-ish months. Really hoping this is the one! 🙏

Update: I went with the latter and now all my Halloween candy is gone

Wait till they find out that Palestinians are Semites

Congratulations!! Must be a really great feeling

Love the alt text of the 2nd pic. Nice one

They're very nice! The goats we have love to eat the leaves on the young saplings

They're wild around here so I assume the ones native to southeast US

Also, love that this book deal is a horror. It sounds so unhinged and I'm here for it!

Ahh I'm so happy you read it! Thanks!! Haven't written a good flash fic yet, haha. But more shorts are (hopefully) coming soon!

This basket weighs like 5lbs. Couldn't even hold it long enough with one arm to take a pic lol

Okay so this is the most I've ever harvested! So happy!! Not sure if I'm gonna make a jam or just splurge on them like candy 😋🌱

Congratulations!! So much good news! Glad to see it's all paying off for you!! Ngl, some of your flash pieces have been very inspiring for me, so it's nice to see you have yet another book deal. Wishing you all the best! 😁

Okay this is cool 📌📌📌

Thanks!

Hi, are reprints acceptable?

Website is not live yet. Still using Carrd till I'm ready to publish

Home page is a minimalist dark-blue, gray-toned background with a circular pfp in the center. Beneath it is my name (Nadia Amatullah King) and a tagline that says "author of speculative fiction and dark sci-fi." The navigation consists of only three, minimal icons with no words. The first is a crescent moon and star highlighted for the home page. The second is an open book, and the third is an artsy geometric symbol.

Screenshot of the second page, showing my one fiction publication, The Black Refinery. Contains one paragraph of text and a stock image of a beach in black-and-white.

I've become such a digital minimalist that I decided to code my own website! In HTML!! Very surprised since my tech skills are almost non-existent, but it's easier than expected. Right now it looks exactly as my Ghost/Carrd did, so I'm definitely calling this one a win! 😁

Escapist fiction is an art too.
