Totally not a hundred rats in a trench coat. Writing queer horror that’s always weird, and occasionally about parasites. SQUELCH! (Merigold Independent) coming September 2026. (They/Them) https://ratkinghorror.carrd.co
It’s International Vulture Awareness Day AND Sapphic September AND Bisexual Visibility Month, so I’m actually legally required to promote TO BE DEVOURED (my sapphic cannibalism, vulture-obsessed novella)! Pictured here with a beautiful vulture from @dlbowman76.com! www.amazon.com/Be-Devoured-...
Huge thank you to @ericlarocca.com for giving SQUELCH! the label of “Utter filth and depravity.” Two adjectives right there that really warm my heart to see attributed to my silly, little worm book. Get yourself some filth and depravity today! tinyurl.com/mr2utcdn

For some, having your work called disgusting is a negative thing (imagine that?). For me, it’s a compliment of the highest degree. Incredibly grateful for the awesome praise and one hell of a blurb from @michaelboulerice.com! Get your certified criminally weird preorders here! tinyurl.com/mr2utcdn
MAKE TIRED-ASS AI FICTION AGAIN🚫🤖 The only jack-holes claiming AI is "inevitable" are loser tech-bros who've already tied their entire identity to it & hopelessly untalented slop hacks. Surely if they say it often enough it'll come true, right?! Keep the existential AI threats ON THE PAGE⬇️
I’ve taken on ALOT and I’m still coming up $500 short so I’m taking as many as I can hold 👍

Katherine "Kat" Silva@katsilvaauthor.bsky.social · 3w agoHot take incoming: I am seeing increasingly more agented authors getting deals based on pitches with small presses. I'm excited for them and at the same time, sad for all of those friends with no agent and equally fantastic books who cannot sell them. 1/?

"Inside a tank, seven people dressed in bathing suits and scuba masks swam in small, frantic circles[...] Number 3’s body looked familiar; I’d definitely groped someone with similar tits at a BAFTA afterparty."

Gotta love it when someone truly gets the essence of your book. So a huge thanks to @beardedbetts.bsky.social for a blurb that captures the essence of it in its exploration of identity, and also worms going in/out of holes, which trust me, are both just as important! Preorders up now! tinyurl.com
