Ick ick ick. Authors, remember to have a no-AI-use clause in your contracts that applies to the publisher as much as it does you.

as a millennial, pop-ups still scare me. 😂

tentatively going with some kind of [double entendre] & [taboo thing] and just... chucking nouns at that formula until it's right

myself & groupchat approaching the realization there just isn't any following a title like "Rears & Vices" 😭

I focus on fantasy, historical and all sorts of elegant and romantic art!

A watercolor painting in moody grey-greens, rich indigo, and magenta. It depicts a fae hunting party riding through a smoky moonlit forest towards an eerie red lake. The hunters ride deer-like creatures, and are accompanied by stark white hounds with red heads and long ears. A host of small green glowing pixies trail along

A watercolor painting featuring an anthropomorphic rooster captain at the helm of a ship. Beyond him is a map and a little inset seascape

The extended cover illustration for WE'RE HERE: THE BEST QUEER SPECULATIVE FICTION 2024. An illustration (in watercolor) of an earth-toned wild hunt tapestry with muted rainbow-y accents being looked at by a trio of rad queer people in a museum-esque framing

Renaissance, by EH Lupton. In the style of black-figure art, a man dressed like Dionysus bends over a seated man in modern clothes.

Renaissance is out today! I didn't send it out early enough to get any pull quotes or blurbs. Oh well. It's a good book.

Also here is an artwork I commissioned from LIS Photoart on Instagram. (I don't think he's on Bluesky.)

Books as Luxury Items - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

I wrote about books as luxury items, specifically that books are being adopted by luxury brands at an increasing rate - Dior, especially, also Prada, MiuMiu, and now Coach book charms, in partnership with PRH.

IMO, books as a luxury aesthetic reveal cultural anxieties about reading and access.

A quote from Smart Bitch, Trashy Books that says "The world-building is excellent, the prose is gorgeous, and the characters and their relationships are phenomenal." Next to it is an image of an ereader displaying a book cover with the title Thornfruit. The cover has a red background and an illustration of white flowers.

indie book sale fantasy, sci-fi, & horror 11-13 April the background image is a grid of book covers

My novel Thornfruit, the first of a queer fantasy trilogy about discovering that your mom is maybe doing kind of a lot of murders, and (in books 2-3) that you are in love with 2 people, is on sale for 99¢.

three books stacked on a shelf, one standing atop the other two, amongst greenery. Title is Rears & Vices by E.M. Caro. The cover has three men: an auburn-haired man, a black-haired man, and a blond man, all dressed in early 19th century clothing. The auburn-haired man is embracing the black-haired man and the blond is standing protectively by, his left hand on the hilt of a pirate sword. Text overlay of the photo says AVAILABLE NOW
