It feels unfair of you to mention "yet another skeleton" and not link back to the original skeleton story. (I'm making quite a few assumptions here, but still...)

Thinking about today. Feeling the weight of it. The lives needlessly cut short. Knowing that I could have been among them. It's a lot, and it's easy to get numb to it. While we ought to honor the siblings we lost, we should also remember... #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance

My ex and I adopted our cats from here, they do wonderful work- please share, or even donate if you can!

It's very recognizable, in part because the scams don't change much--I suspect it's really only one or two people generating all of them--but how weirdly specific and yet bizarrely generic they manage to be when talking about my book.

It's like eating ice cream with no flavor.

The above post is the opening line to my short story in Labyrinth Vol. 0, in case anyone is wondering… So yeah, check out that Kickstarter if you want to grab a copy of a fabulous collection of short stories from M.L. Wang, Christopher Paolini, Ai Jang, Rogba Payne, Davis Ashura, and more!

“I really, truly, am grateful for every day that I still get to be here, especially knowing how many folks aren’t with us after the Seal cracked, but sometimes it’s hard to be grateful when you’re elbow deep in a vampire’s chest cavity trying to grab their heart while they’re still fighting you.”

LABYRINTH, Vol. 0 A new fantasy/sci-fi collection helmed by HelloFutureMe!

Hey y’all! Excited to finally be able to announce that I’ve got a story in Labyrinth Volume 0 (the dragon vs angel fight that shows up in the trailer is inspired by a scene from my story)! So delighted to have been invited alongside so many amazing authors!

Unrelated, but this cat has no shadow and is clearly a Fae. Glad they're getting out to vote though.
