Book mail! How perfect does the cover look for Bad Romance (ed. @reasie.bsky.social)! Excited to have my story “Glue Traps for Problem Rats” included in this antho, can’t wait to read the other stories. I adore the art by Grace Vibbert, Mils and Ritten are exactly as I imagined them!! 🥰

Editor @thompsinator.bsky.social has finalized the TOC for Saros SF #7! The "Terminally Online" issue will have fiction from Becks Simpson, @kirkvanderbeek.bsky.social, @adamdelrey.bsky.social, Alexandra Nyx, Mir Rainbird, Mathew Lebowitz, and cover art by @chpearcewrites.bsky.social. Stay tuned!

I’m writing fantasy-horror novelettes/novellas in a sword-and-sorcery vein. Nothing set, but who are some artists (inc yourself!) I might commission for covers? Each is about the same central character, but each POV is a different character. (Think multiple Watsons with one Conan-Sherlock)

This year I’ve been trying to be more strategic about art & not share on socials until after they are sold+published! Also trying to finish pieces (as much as I love sketches). But here’s sketches from when I was writing “Tredge, the Informationist: A Story of Sub-Market Street” in Lost Souls 03 👁️

I've bundled our two World Fantasy Awards finalists together on sale. Get both books for just $35 delivered. The eBooks are also on sale, just $4 in our store. If you've not yet experienced these great books, now is your chance. @thomasha.bsky.social undertowpublications.com/shop/world-f...

Excited to get to do the cover art for this issue, I love the theme Terminally Online and can’t wait to read all the stories! 🖤 🎨
