HWA: Whoopsies, now how'd that pro-AI slop piece get in our newsletter? We didn't mean it, guys, sowwy. No, but seriously, I'd like an actual explanation as to how it was allowed to go out in the first place. Did no one read it? You don't just accidentally insult your entire (fee paying) base.

Dear HWA, Regarding your recent newsletter, which included a lengthy diatribe lambasting the community for being vehemently against AI... *ahem* What, and I mean this with the utmost sincerity, the fuck? Sincerely, Me

Trying to find balance between "Yes, I do, in fact, need to keep posting about the book or it will be totally forgotten" and "Oh God, this is so annoying, I'm so annoying, aaaaa" Apparently that balance is posting about the book while going aaaaaa Anyway... #booksky (Please see threaded post)

Cover reveal: THE DEVIL'S JUSTICE IN NEW ARONA, coming in October from @moanariafc.bsky.social and @demagoguepress and @paippolito.bsky.socia! I drew the illustration with a Rotring Isograph technical pen on Bristol paper, adding the text and white lines by hand using Artstudio Pro on an iPad.

I feel like Mass Effect is a good example of the difference between what men and women mean when they say "Hear me out..."

A photo depicting four romance options from Mass Effect: The top row features two conventionally attractive women, though one is wearing a face covering helmet and the other is heavily tattooed. The bottom row features two alien men, one who is blue and kind of like a bug serpent man and other who looks like a lookmaxing Swamp Thing.

Text: Breaking the Routine

“Hello?”
The line is not dead. I don’t hear anything, complete silence on the other end, but it's…listening. I feel it in a way that sends goosebumps up my arm. The silence of held breath. Of someone trying not to be heard. One that fills and overflows from the receiver, amplifying the silence of the office around me until it crackles.

The first review for my short horror story collection, DEATH IN ITS MANY FORMS, is in!! I couldn't be more grateful or happy 🥹 ARCs are still available via BookSirens or directly from me if we're mutuals! #booksky

A graphic featuring the cover of Death in Its Many Forms, depicting a submerged, bound young woman staring out at the reader, over a screenshot of a 5 star review that reads: This is an ARC.

The first book I ever read by S.H. Cooper was a collection of short stories and I loved it. I like this one even more.

A lot of short stories feel like there's something missing because the author had to leave things out for brevity's sake. None of the 10 stories in this collection felt that way.

Although I enjoyed all of the stories, there were three standouts for me - "Breaking the Routine," "Justice Has Teeth" and "Death of the Author."

"Breaking the Routine," will make readers feel the main character's anxiety. "Justice Has Teeth," has the perfect revenge for those who wronged the protagonist and "Death of the Author," just showed a deal too good to be true should be questioned!

The Mister made us watch the Borderlands movie. We're big fans of the games, my engagement ring came in a paper craft Claptrap, but knew it wasn't going to be good going in. Aside from the terrible casting and character choices, it was...boring. Not even bad in a memorable way. Just boring.
