Hey all! For those who have read GOD'S OWN COUNTRY, even if it wasn't a 5-star book for you, it would mean the world to me if you would review or rate it on Goodreads, or Storygraph, or Amazon, or wherever you like to review books! Visibility for new authors is rough, so every bit helps!

anyway before some rando came for me by qrt'ing something from nearly a year ago, LET'S GO PEGGY FLANAGAN! Outspent by dark money and billionaires, but blew Craig and her ICE-licking boots to the curb.
Uh...what? Who have I cancelled? I have a cult? And why are you following me if you hate me? @bisedai.bsky.social since you so kindly tagged me but prohibited qrt's and comments, I just want to say, thank you. Self-Righteous Fairy is probably the coolest thing I've been called lately <3
I will not miss Angie Craig’s terrible excuse for a baseball swing.
Y'all, if you love YA horror of have a young reader in your life, I can guarantee you that Shadowclaw is the perfect gift for yourself or that young reader. Dylan's writing and storytelling evokes that 90's kid horror vibe like nothing I've read recently.
SHADOWCLAW by Dylan Roche is officially released! Don’t forget to join us live later tonight, snag your copy today at thecrowshoppe.com, and follow Dylan @dylaniswriting and us here at Quill & Crow for more! YA HORROR “Shadowclaw, Shadowclaw, come and play!” #Booksky #BookTok
Minnesota! Today’s the primary! Vote for #PeggyFlanagan for US senate! She’s the only candidate of either party not bought and paid for by AIPAC and other right-wing pacs!
I really don't want to accidentally become a lit bro but Proust's In Search of Lost Time (currently on Swann's Way) is a real banger. Eating a random ass snack and being catapulited through decades of memory to your childhood b/c of the taste like damn that's relatable.
Minnesota, look at Michigan. They embraced progressive change with El-Sayed in their primary. Next week, let's do the same with Flanagan! Send the wretched Angie Craig and her evil, ICE-bootlicking ways to the curb.
My letter to the HWA president. Can't keep my mouth shut I guess.
Sharing (with permission) this wonderful review of God's Own Country by Cold Crash Pictures. I've long respected his analyses of movies and culture (seriously, check out his Saurian Cinema series), so I feel honored! Check it out, and pick up a copy if you haven't!

AI is like having a robot butler but if you ask it what's for dinner it sets fire to your garden, says "beezechurger" and then steals your data.
Rest in Peace Ea-nāṣir you would have loved Yelp.
I am beyond blown away by the response I got at #WotCon selling my books. I sold out completely on day one and wish I'd brought a few more books, but I sold more via QR code. And if you haven't snagged your copy yet, get paperback, hardcover, and ebook below!

Well I reckon I got a few things to sell to folks at #WoTCon so be sure to find me between panels or any time during con! If I look busy, I’m not too busy to talk to you and set you up with a little bit of weird southern horror! #WoTCon2026
Some of y’all need a reminder to appreciate the simpler things in life, if just for a moment. I know the world is scary, but unless you seek the pockets of joy, and the growing sense that we can win this, you’ll drown in your own fear. Don’t let that happen.
Need gen AI to write a book, paint a picture, compose a song? No, you don't. Either work for your creativity or give up. But needing it to write an email? That's not creative, it's contemptable and sad. (see what I did there lol)

Trauma has weird side effects. The metro surge destroyed my ability to sit through and enjoy movies or anything longer than a youtube short. I'm happy to report that Masters of the Universe, in its abject silliness, re-wired my brain. I've gone through 2 of my criterion stack since watching it 👏
lol just realized my book’s release day is 6-9 Nice.
Today is the day! God's Own Country is out now! Link is in the comments but I'd like to use this post to thank @wheeltakespod.bsky.social for an amazing blurb. For all you #WheelofTime folks out there, check it out!

Went to see Masters of the Universe because it looked dumb enough to be fun. Left the theater with a new obsession and the second 10/10 movie I’ve seen in theaters this year 🤣 Just unapologetically campy, silly, but well structured and fun.

Apparently support for gay marriage is down to 2/3 from 70%. There's one demographic responsible: Republicans. Dems and Independents still overwhelmingly support it. Polling also doesn't consider kids under voting age. Don't let the ghouls drag you down. Keep fighting. The tide WILL shift again.
