@deepcutpress.bsky.social I'm getting a Bad Gateway on most parts of your site today--the magazine itself, and the submissions guidelines are both not functional. The .org overarching site is there, though!

Coming up next week! I will be reading three flash fictions for @storyhour.bsky.social on September 2nd, at 7 PM PDT. (Or, you know, 9 pm CDT, which means I will be sleeeepy!) The three stories in question are: "Papyrates," "An Endless Sea of Diamond Dust," and "A Mother's Love."

I obviously don't share cat and dog pictures nearly enough here. Neko here displays that his floof cannot be contained! He is a long boi!

I'm really happy to be able to post about this one: https://strangehorizons.com/wordpress/poetry/the-deicide/ This one got its start in a yearly challenge I run on Codex, a forum for pro and neo-pro authors. I call it 'Victory in Verse.' It started life as a rime couee, but it evolved to free verse!

My friend @cornellwriter.bsky.social has a collection of short stories going live soon. . .and she's got a book launch event! https://www.bakkaphoenixbooks.com/events/5865220260822 If you happen to be in or near Toronto, maybe consider going!

I love reading people's stories after @emmiechristie33.bsky.social has analyzed them; I inevitably wind up with stories I might not have read otherwise as a result. This week. . . she's turned her lens on me, and WOW. I feel. . . very *seen*. :eyes: https://www.emmiechristie.com/short-fiction-and-poetry/writer-spotlight-deborah-l-davitt

Emmie has been reviewing people's works for over a year; she sees SO MUCH in people's works. I really do recommend that folks check out her back catalog of reviews! There are some absolute gems in there that I would have missed reading otherwise! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Coming soon! @ghostlyverse.bsky.social reminded me that I've been remiss in not mentioning this. . . as soon as I have details on when and where it will be available, I will post those up! <3 Much gratitude to @lyradora.bsky.social for including my poem in this volume!

Hi all! At Waterstone's website and on their app, pre-order "Christmas Horror" at 25% off with code SUMMER26, July 21-24. I have a story in this one! It's about a modern valkyrie, her brother, family, the holidays. . .and the undead. LOL.

This one sounds *fun*, and it's out today! I love a good genre mashup! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Ugh. This keeps getting worse. But! I do want to PRAISE the editors of Bona Books, @reckoningmag.bsky.social , @castofwonders.org and a BUNCH of other places (including @thedailytomorrow.bsky.social ) for their transparency when these things happen, and for their determination to keep publishing!

Live today at Cryptic Frog Quarterly! This poem is definitely in the urban fantasy vein. . . with shades of disquiet. <3 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of "The Asterist" today. This is not the first @atsayre.bsky.social book I've read; "The Last Days of Good People" was another excellent outing. As in that first book, we have a compelling situation dealing with *genuinely* alien aliens--a rarity!
