🎉 ARTIFICE & ACCESS - A DISABILITY IN FANTASY ANTHOLOGY IS OUT NOW 🎉

You can find it at most bookstores and there's a link in my bio 😊 Come read about disabled heroes!

The reviews have been so wonderful & I’m honored to be featured alongside such beautiful stories ❤️

#booksky #disability #books

The release day graphic has a teal background with soft white line art illustrations of each story represented by an image. We see:

- A bird perched on a tree
- A row boat with waves around it
- A pumpkin with a shoe
- A cat looking sternly over their shoulder
- A potion next to a blackberry branch
- Cherries with mushrooms
- A needle and thread
- A scalpel
- A pocketwatch
- A snake with their tongue stretched out
- Arrows
- A fish in water
- A small dragon next to branches
- A mug of coffee with a sword stirring it

At the top, it says in white letters „NEW RELEASE“

Below it is the cover:
The cover of Artifice & Access with teal-to-white medieval fantasy lettering. Above the title is the subtitle „an anthology of disability in fantasy“ and a red rose. Beneath it are illustrations from various stories including a large snake with a person standing on its head, a person in a wheelchair, and a person with a prosthetic leg, as well as smaller illustrations like a sword and a mushroom.

Beneath the cover is a darker teal banner with white text:

A Disability in Fantasy Anthology, now in ebook & paperback!

Also I’m mad espresso with lemon didn’t work for you. That one was my go to when I could do caffeine. Though I feel like everything that helped me doesn’t help me you and vice versa, so maybe I should make a list of things that did nothing for me 😂

An edited tweet from Coffee Spoonie that reads:

I want to be extremely close about: I never *don't* want to be asked about my OC

it is never a bad or inappropriate time for OC questions

I will never be displeased by questions about my OC

at no point in my life will I ever be like "no thank u, i don't want to talk about my character right now"

99% of "who even uses/buys/needs xyz thing, it's so lazy" posts can be mitigated and answered by simply remembering the acronym "DICK".

Disabled people exist.
I am tired.
Curiosity > judgement.
Kill the ableist body cop in your head.

I offer short story editing & feedback for $10AUD per 1000 words
📌For DISABLED, CHRONICALLY ILL, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and otherwise MARGINALISED writers ONLY.
I want to do what I can to try and uplift those of us who are most often excluded, erased, and left behind! 💖

A mid blue background with an illustration of a wizard with bob-length orange hair and blue starry robes with knee-high bright pink socks laying on their stomach across the bottom.
Along the top is a white banner with blue text that says "comprehensive & actionable". Beneath that in large white gothic font reads "SHORT STORY EDITING & FEEDBACK".
In the bottom right beside the wizard is smaller white text that says "$10 AUD / 1000 words".
A pink speech bubble sits atop that, with dark pink handwriting that says "I am nice and honest!! Promise!!"

If you’re in the US it may be a good thing to do if you can afford it to have a small food pantry on your porch on Halloween for families of Trick or Treaters- SNAP benefits not existing in November will mainly impact children ❤️

This might be surprisingly controversial, but if you’re part of the queer community and don’t regularly mask in public (if able to), you’re betraying the community and our history.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I'm so happy to share that I have a story out in @aurealisfsf.bsky.social issue #185 ✨

'Catch and Consume' is fishy, mysterious, and a little weird 🐟
Just the way I like 'em.

A screenshot from Aurealis showing the cover of Issue #185 on the left, and a partial list of published works inside on the right in black text. From top to bottom, they read: 'Birdie' by John Pegios; 'Catch and Consume' by Ella T Holmes; 'Hooked' by Caroline Smith; and Frankenstein in Pop Culture: From 1910 to Now (part 3) by Claire Fitzpatrick.

I haven’t posted about this yet, bc I haven’t had the energy, but Midnight Meadow & I have parted ways. S&OS is getting a remake and will be republished next year, but for anyone looking for more info, this is a great thread:

The really frustrating thing about my publisher is that I don't think this is a classic case of publishing not being as profitable as people think. It isn't, but I can count up the profits I know they made, subtract the few expenses they did have, and there still should've been lots left!

I want your empowering/supportive/disability justice messages, poems, and sentiments for the Disability in Dystopia Anthology!

I'm going to make them into art for the collection.

Submit a picture or typed message to [email protected] 💌 from now until November 1st!
#books #disability

This image contains text on a two-toned green background. Header text in white reads "Handwritten message submissions wanted". Below that, a ripped piece of paper has brown handwriting that reads "We will survive. Together!".
In the bottom left there is a slightly askew neon green mail sticker with the image of a green gas cloud and a skull. To the right of that is light pink text that reads "Write an empowering and supportive disability justice message, poem, or sentiment. Take a picture & submit to dis-anthology@outlook.com It will be included in a collage inside the upcoming anthology!"
At the very bottom, centred, in bright green text, is the message "if you cannot hand write it.I can do that for you! Simply submit it as a typed message."

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help.

These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients.

if you like #reading you may, like this totally real picture of Paul Rudd, enjoy ARTIFICE & ACCESS 😁

14 short stories by authors from around the world, exploring disability in fantasy. It really is that cool!! 😭

#books #booksky

An image of paul rudd wearing black framed glasses , wiping his eyes as he cries. he is wearing a gray t shirt, and is holding a book. The cover for Artifice & Access has been hastily pasted on top of the book cover in the original photo.
Black text to the left of paul rudd reads "it's just so good!" and "really and honestly brings a tear to his eye".

Well, this isn't how I wanted to say this. I wanted to announce that I had ended my relationship with my publisher amicably, had my rights back, and would be re-releasing my books soon.

Instead I have to say that I have not received my rights back yet nor been paid.

Parting ways with my publisher

I am parting with Midnight Meadow Press and waiting for payment and the return of my rights.

who wants to see pics of the FANCY ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF PETER DARLING by @rainbowcrate.bsky.social !!

Dust jacket + edges by @olyfrogg.bsky.social
Endpapers by @mspencerdraws.bsky.social
Hardcase by @nong247.bsky.social

The special edition cover of Peter Darling by S. A. Chant, featuring a moment of homoerotic swordplay between Peter and Hook. Peter's dagger is under Hook's chin and Hook's claw is held up to Peter's face and they are smiling at each other.

The endpaper illustration for the special edition of Peter Darling, a colorful watercolor spread. It shows Peter sitting on a mossy tree with a knife and Tinker Bell by his side, looking out over a beautiful vista of Neverland while Hook, in his cabin, smokes and plays piano with his luscious chest hair out.

The special edition hardcase, which is white with a black ink illustration with gold foil accents of a tallship being ripped apart by the tendrils of a kraken.

The back of the hardcase, showing the quote "Dreamers are always welcome here, whatever their reasons." in an elaborate gilt frame.
