#Booksky, if you're curious about my stories, my debut collection is a great place to sample my writing. Also, The Man in the Red Suit, has been selected to be part of The Best Private Eye Stories of the Year 2026. 🕵️♀️🎉 You can read the first two stories here: read.amazon.com.au/sample/B0DRG... 👻😈💀
I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's no reason to be sparing with the block button. You don't have to prove a case. If your life is more peaceful as a result, hit it. No one deserves access to you.
Good morning. Join me in willing into existence a book by @mmdaviesostrom.bsky.social that (to the best of my knowledge) does not yet exist. Also, enjoy some of @frank212.bsky.social's cooking. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

Welcome to Day 90 of Women In Horror Year. All of those people who snarkily thought I'd stop after a week or two can stick their faces in their soup and blow. Today, we're talking about @redlagoe.bsky.social's Dismal Dreams. www.briankeene.com/algorithmzer...

A solid collection of short stories, and the perfect introduction to someone who is new to her work. My personal favorites are “Shutter Stop”, “Burden’s Beast”, and “Never Have I Ever” (which absolut...

Devastated to report that Tiny most vehemently does NOT like Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot. I've been informed it's "inappropriate for a public song" and Mr. Mixalot will be "a laughingstock" for discussing butts. I didn't raise him like this, I promise.

If you are sensitive to FLASH/STROBE lights, there is a storm scene in The Odyssey that WILL do bad, bad things to your brain, and there are a few false stops to it. Wait until there are no flashes for at least 30 seconds. 🎥 #Odyssey #Filmsky #Disability #SeizureWarning
If you haven't read my stuff before and want a free taster, I'm very proud of this short story, published at Beneath Ceaseless Skies.
Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Not the Worst of Sins by Alan Baxter
Staring up at the stars, I hear the footsteps with plenty time to spare. Two sets, trying to sneak around behind, in the dark beyond the glow of my dying fire. Graham Masters shimmers into view and op...

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.
I'll never understand women who aren't girls' girls. Ones who isolate other women, won't befriend their male friends' significant others, look for ways to put down to claw their own way up. Who do they think is gonna support them and have their backs? Is male attention that important?
Honestly just sounds like my neighbors are straight up firing semi autos now. Like we've given up on fireworks and just blam blam blam
Two more books out by me this year! Don’t know where to start with my books? There’s a handy post for that: jendiagammon.com/2024/09/25/c... #books #horror #scifi #fantasy

TC Parker (she/her)@tcparker.bsky.social · last mo.Re-sharing this, because @laurelhightower.bsky.social just called THE LONG CON her favourite heist novel, and now I'm doing a little dance of joy around the house (If you've ever read any of Laurel's books, you'll understand why this is a Dance of Joy moment)
I love this book so much!!!
Nefarious Bat Press@nefariousbatpress.bsky.social · last mo.Our Year of Noir has yet to begin... but if you want a preview of the kind of crime fic we've got coming up next year, check out @tcparker.bsky.social's heist trilogy THE LONG CON With a blurb from @laurelhightower.bsky.social, no less!

Every so often I think about the woman who flinched in a Walmart when Tiny asked me what Monopoly was about and I said "capitalism." Like full on clutched non-existent pearls, gasped, grimaced and ducked away.

Idk. I'm old I guess but I dislike the term bedrot bc it insinuates you're doing something unhealthy for yourself by resting. My little Gen Z darlings, rest is good and proper and a gift you give yourself. Your goth elder millennial aunt condones it
