It's officially spooky season! If you're looking for sci-fi horror, I've got a novella about a group of scientists and soldiers attempting to colonize a sentient planet. Unfortunately for them, their new home can and will fight back... bookshop.org/p/books/this...

So, an update on moving: I may get the chance to stay in Seattle in the next 3 months or so. I've talked to people and they think they can get me settled to move by the time I go back to FL in December. So, if you'd like to give me an early birthday gift and help me stay out there, here you go:

Ahmed is struggling to support his family through Israel's genocidal siege & support has fallen greatly. His phone is broken. He's exhausted, & needs your shares & donations to keep them all alive. They're starving, homeless, & sick under bombs, & his mother needs urgent eye surgery. Share/donate:

Thank you so much to every person generously backing this, no matter what budget or tier! Your support means everything. We're over halfway there, we can absolutely get this done in 4 days!

Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

Release day is here!!! Help us celebrate all of the incredible authors who contributed to the Forged in FIYAH anthology! Snatch a copy or five for yourself wherever books are sold. Shout out to Matt and the @tordotcompub.bsky.social team for seeing this project through.

Mohammed's son Elias urgently needs treatment to save his fading eyesight. You helped Elias survive horrific malnutrition through your shares & donations, & he urgently needs your help again. Time is running out to keep him from going blind, & he's already hurt his hand badly falling down:

Working at a new job that hasn't paid me yet; the mortgage is still due Tuesday and my family still needs groceries for the week. I'm at $550/2300, hopeful someone out there can help close the gap a little. I need direct support. cashapp/venmo/paypal/kofi are all "thiiirdperson". Thanks so much!
