I write all sorts of things, including smut. Where can I get my creepy sexy horror and weird sexy comedic stories published? I’m having a heck of a time finding a market for this. Examples include space marine/alien/vampire hilarity, vile nauserotica, catman on catman, and hobbit necromancy romance. #smut#erotica#horror#WritingCommunity#SFF#SpeculativeFiction#QueerFiction@writingcommunity
EVOCATIVE “WEIRD WEST” novel set in a desolate mining town where a prospector’s orphan dreams of better things and of mysterious, powerful beings high in the mountains. Intriguing! SOLID B
I like this promo image for my latest novel "500" that's been making the rounds on some other social media platforms lately, so I thought I'd share it here.
If you like what you're seeing, you can pick up the book in paperback, hardcover, or Kindle Edition eBook via Amazon:

Today in Labor History August 15, 1906: W.E.B. DuBois demanded equal citizenship rights for African-Americans during the second meeting of the Niagara Movement, saying, "We will not be satisfied to take one jot or little less than our full manhood." Founders of the movement named it for the “mighty current” of change they hoped to achieve. DuBois made his famous statement at Harper’s Ferry, sight of the failed insurrection led by John Brown, in 1859. For a wonderful speculative fiction story based on the premise that John Brown had succeeded in his raid, with the help of Harriet Tubman, read Terry Bisson’s “Fire on the Mountain” (1988).
In addition to cofounding the Niagara Movement, DuBois also cofounded the NAACP. He devoted his life to fighting racism, segregation, Jim Crow and lynchings. DuBois opposed capitalism and blamed it for much of the racism in America. He was also a prolific writer, an anti-nuclear and peace activist, and a proponent of Pan-Africanism.
As a heads up to my #readers, I'd highly recommend catching up on any of my first six #books that you might have missed by the end of this year. My 7th, while still a standalone, is very much tied to everything that's come before it and will likely hit a lot harder for you if you're at least somewhat familiar with one or more of my previous works. #readingcommunity

Today is Rosalind Franklin's birthday, and our memorial anthology Rosalind's Siblings with @atthisarts is coming soon! This project was a delight to edit & I am so glad one of the Franklins reached out to me.
Doubly so that it is the Birdverse short story collection from Fairwood, I feel like this book has gone a bit underappreciated with RB's other books being out this year, BUT IT IS SO GOOD and I am so happy.
@bookstodon My #review of #TheThickandTheLean by #ChanaPorter is now live! Another read that left me thinking for a long time after. I wish some things about it had been different, but overall, it's great.
