I have no hesitation in saying that if you liked my books, you'll like this, especially if you wish I'd leaned harder into the "creepy murder mystery" and "trapped in a manor house full of awful people" aspects. A GAY & VERITABLE BANGER.

I’ve been absent lately thanks largely to the joys of home renovation but wanted to shout out these 2 excellent books that came out in the last week, both of which I loved, starting exciting new series by excellent humans @devinmadson.bsky.social & @andreagstewart.bsky.social Commend them to you!
I am not at Worldcon Glasgow and I am so sad about it and wildly jealous and wish desperately I was there hanging out with so many cool friends 😭😭 but I hope you all have a fantastic time!
In covid iso isn’t how I’d choose to spend my bday. On the other hand, got a chance to read; flew through the superb The Gods Below by @andreagstewart.bsky.social - fun, incredibly inventive - some god tier worldbuilding (pun intended) - and a cast of characters you won’t get out of your head!
Today's the day! THE SKY ON FIRE is live. Thank you to everyone. You've all been so supportive and I appreciate you!
Apropos of absolutely nothing, I am just continuously screaming inside with how excited I am about this book!!! Writing it just felt so fresh and good and exciting, and I think it'll give people the kind of fun-yet-intense page-turny escape that I love as a reader. I can't wait to share it!!!
I heard it's Lesbian Visibility Week? As a lesbian who has written books with lesbians... *gestures vaguely in a lesbian fashion*
