I write character-driven fiction that will excite you with its unique lore & slow-burn romance. My cat Haruhi is my life. Feed me & I'm happy. I support BIPOC, disability, LGBTQIA+, & other marginalized groups unapologetically. Anti-Gen-AI. Human art only!
I dint read a lot of sci-fi, but I could be convinced since I do love fantasy. 😊😊😊

every time someone buys a commission, an artist gets their wings. their draw-wings.
I picked up almost as much from the library as I did from school—real history, not that polished nonsense we were fed!
We love a good #ownvoices story over here. 😊😊😊

#WeeknightWriters, it's clearly Esperanza from Raising Dion who's played by Sammi Hayney! Also, I Dustin from Stranger Things, who's played by Gaten Matarazzo, is a fave. They're both so memorable.

The Book Bazaar: Coming October 29th, 2026@the-book-bazaar.com · 2w agoThanks for the great chat! Now’s the time you can tell us anything you want. Got a project to promote? Let us know in the comments! We’ll have a fresh new chat next week for #TBBChat. Until next time! #BookBazaar26
#TBBChat, this isn't for a current project, but: A siren attempts to kill Kacela Grimm on the first day of her medical internship.
The Book Bazaar: Coming October 29th, 2026@the-book-bazaar.com · 2w agoTBB Chat Q3: Quick! Elevator pitch the pilot episode! #TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky
#TBBChat, I don't think my current books have any (unless you count heterochromatic eyes or side characters who are disfigured), but my 5th & 6th books will feature a vampire with a chronic illness due to the Red Cold—a disease that attacks the regenerative abilities of vampires. He's the MMC too!
Aimee Cozza Illustration@aimeecozza.com · last wk.Oh hey, don't mind if I do! #TBBChat, I'll tell you all about Sylvan, the main POV in The Gone Machine, my lil depressed cyborg wet man. Buckle up. Here goes! #TGM #Writing #IndieAuthor
#TBBChat, of all the times I've thought about this, I've never once considered the theme song. Anyways, it would depend on the project, but in thinking whatever it is, Paramore has to sing it—or, at least, Haley Williams. 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️
The Book Bazaar: Coming October 29th, 2026@the-book-bazaar.com · 2w agoTBB Chat Q2: Your work has been made into a TV show. What's the theme song? #TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky
#HorrorWritersChat, does it count if it's a fantasy novel? Because I'm working on one of those right now. Nature, magic, and tech all walk into a bar together. Better believe since of those osman are going to be poisonous!
Artemis Quinn 🏳️⚧️🎨📚@vampireantihero.com · last wk.The garden is bright and vibrant with a wash of flowers. Oleander. Monkshood. Hydrangea and Mountain Laurel bushes. Small placquards stand beside each one. You realize as you read them, they're symptoms. QUESTION 2 - Have you ever written anything centering plants or poisons? #HorrorWritersChat
Do white people ever think, "I wonder what it would be like if every book I read or TV or film only had Black people in them?" Just constantly inundated with images of Black people, in our vastness. Probably not, but, I dare say, it would change how they view everything. Representation matters.
So true. I've day, I'm going to hire a wife like @montemader.bsky.social suggested because it's essential for productivity in creative spaces. Plus, I just don't think a SAHH would give me the same results. You know?
Kara Jorgensen@authorkaraj.bsky.social · last wk.If you want to know the secret to being super prolific, it's having a wife or wealth, so other people clean your toilets and feed you while you work.

Favorite cheese depends on what we're making. Grilled cheese? Munster and Cheddar 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ Dessert? Gruyere! 🥰🥰🥰 Cheese sticks? It's mozzarella. 😋😋😋 Pasta sauce of some sort? Shredded cheese combos. 😊😊😊 Mac & cheese? Cheddar ofc! 😁😁😁 But NEVER, EVER American cheese, because that's gross. 🤮🤮🤮
Tom & Lorenzo@tomandlorenzo.bsky.social · last wk.People on Bluesky sigh and talk about The Discourse as if it were something required of them instead of something they opt to partake in, day in and day out. You really don't have to. Post about your favorite cheese

Vlad the Impaler Fun Fact #2: The historical Vlad Dracula had 3 sons—one of who died as a baby—& is rumored to have a 4th illegitimate one who was basically raised by farmers. Ofc, my Vlad Dracula has five kids because he's a vampire & why shouldn't a daughter be thrown in the mix? 👀👀👀
J.S. Living@thejsliving.bsky.social · 2w agoDear #booksky, 📚❤️ If I give y'all fun facts about Vlad the Impaler every week from the books I've been reading, will you consider following my @backerkit.com Campaign about his fictional daughter &/or sharing the link w/ others? 👀👀👀 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
