My newsletter goes out today. It's pretty mellow. Sorta once a month (or less - I tend to forget). Just a bit of rambling and book things.

A storm blew past during the weekend. There are now no leaves left on the trees :(

I'm so incredibly tired today omg 🫠 Gonna go for a short walk in the forest, then drown in coffee.

I sold 3 books this weekend at Fantastika SweCon \o/ As a completely unknown author and not actually standing around to sell myself, I’m pretty darn stoked with that!!

Sitting in on my last talk at SweCon and it’s been such an interesting weekend! I’m exhausted and drained and this was a big move for my anxious ass, so damn proud I pushed myself for it 💪

Ace Week is upon us!! Everything I write has ace rep so I put a selection of them down 60%! Including the short stories! Hopefully I can make a nice lil graphic of them later but if ya wanna support and get good books 💜 itch.io/s/208981/cla...

Obligatory daily post that that if you're looking for #horror to read this week, The Erstwhile Tyler Kyle is a queer horror comedy that's equal parts trashy and literary, with camp bones (or that was the goal, anyway!). steve-westenra.itch.io/the-erstwhil... books2read.com/u/boB9YL #horrorsky
