I was on the @smartbitches.bsky.social podcast (again - what an honour to be invited back)! We started by talking about my new book A Study In Sparkling, but we ranged far and wide after that (audio erotica! bonkbusters! romance scholarship! wine!)
βLoving the monster, for me, is loving a version of myself. A deeper version that I would never really allow anyone to see.β Heck, Iβm gonna be thinking about this all day.

βNicole Fieldβs βThe Widow and the Ravenβ runs Mina Harkerβs journal straight into Poeβs βThe Raven,β a mashup that could have been a gimmick but instead lands its ending well.β From a generous review by Andrew Byers for OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM on @hellnotes.bsky.social β€οΈπ See full review below!
A great review for OF DREAD, DECAY, AND DOOM, our horror anthology edited by @jendiagammon.bsky.social, @garethlpowell.bsky.social, and @scarlettralgee.bsky.social, from dozens of writers spanning the globe! Thank you to @hellnotes.bsky.social. #horror #horrorbooks #horrorcommunity #books
If you liked 'The Widow and the Raven' (and Eric Shanower's 'Courage' that includes a face-off between the Cowardly Lion and a huge spider!) you may also want to consider @starsandsabers.bsky.social's OMNIBOZ. This one includes my short short 'Neither Older Nor Larger' and 10 other stories.

Hey pals, I am opening short story critiques for charity again! Iβm happy to read something of yours (either a sensitivity read or a story critique) up to 5k words, for a donation of any amount to either Pets of the Homeless or a local shelter near you: www.petsofthehomeless.org.au
βItβs not a big moment, or at least, it doesnβt seem like one within the context of a rom-com [β¦] That, in some ways, makes it even better. Olive doesnβt get a big identity crisis; she just has a conversation with her roommate.β
There hasn't been enough talk about how The Love Hypothesis explicitly labels its main character, Olive, as demisexual. We discuss why it's big HERE: https://fangirlish.me/46O3dKU

There's a lovely shout out for "Hunter Mother Sailor Wife" in this review. Adventitious has swiftly become one of my favorite magazines, and I am honored to have a story in the first issue and delighted to see others picking up and enjoying the magazine.

My new book is out next Tuesday, Aus/NZ pals! It's my attempt to write a romance novel about embarrassment: how do you learn to trust someone again after your last partner profoundly humiliated you? (It's also about wine.) Preorders are *immensely* helpful to authors, so if you're keen...

As I work towards finding #TroyandSparta an agent who loves it as much as I do, I want to share a second long form project Iβve been working on. Itβs currently in its third draft and is sparking a whole lot of joy.
I won't make this too long winded but suffice to say I'm excited! I now have a trilogy, the first part newly completed. It starts from the wall of Troy being built and ends with Paris' arrival in Sparta. This is no longer #Helen but #TroyandSparta And I think that deserves its own moodboard.
Generous offer here from lovely human.
Today's a traumaversary and I'd love distractions. Here to beta short stories, abstracts, whatever I have time for. First come first served. You would be doing me a favor. Feel free to DM (but not to be creepy in my DMs, OK?). Even if we're strangers. Feel free to share with strangers.

amazing π§΅ but wanna add that this is why a lot of disabled ppl i know are more likely to be kinky, or at least openly so (and for the masochists among us, Iβll just say a) nerves get mixed up when youre in chronic pain and b) pain you choose can be a very liberatory experience)
1. Bodily Autonomy When you have a chronic illness or a disability that limits your control of or connection with your body, it can feel like you're alienated from or disassociated from the very flesh you live in. Making changes can make you feel more in control than you otherwise would.
