Apologies, I can’t get back to you at this time, my hands are busy being a pillow for my sleeping son
Scooby, Danai’s grey tabby cat, sleeps curled up in a ball, his little fury head resting on Danai’s open palm. The keyboard underneath is forgotten.

DEAR FRIENDS! Tonight on FICTION: IMPOSSIBLE, Carlos Hernandez and I are featuring GUEST STAR Christa Carmen (@christaqua.bsky.social). Tune in at 7 PM EST on twitch.tv/csecooney! Let us entertain you while you are making dinner! Or washing up after!

The cover art for Christa Carmen's horror novel HOW TO FAKE A HAUNTING. Yellow handwriting on a dark gray and black background, with a hand holding a melting, lit taper candle in its bare palm.

If you've already burned through the romantasy that everybody's heard of, that means it's time to go indie!

IngramSpark was like "make this Share & Sell link and you get entered automatically to win a $500 marketing package" so here's the link buy my book (US and UK buyers only because...IngramSpark I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

the first hardcover in the world of Burn Up in Victory. It's sitting on the flat-ish part of a dark gray stone, in front of a bunch of greenery that's in soft focus behind (it's a smoke bush, but it isn't "smoking" yet) Book cover for Burn Up in Victory: a woman with loose red hair, waring a blousy white shirt and black gloves, holding a fencing sword vertically in front of her, her head bowed. The background is dark, but embers surround her. (I bought this image from a photoset on Shutterstock and added the words to it in Canva. To my knowledge and the best of my ability, no AI is involved)

This is sort of the plot of my story Hush, Little Sister (except AI dead sister) in OBSOLESCENCE from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social, also in collection Limelight and Other Stories! OBSOLESCENCE also has other haunting and dark tales of tech terror...👀

You could literally do a horror anthology based on the different ways this can go wrong.

AI dead mom escapes into your TV, and your digital fridge, and your pacemaker.

What if AI dead mom ends up neglected just like one of those digital picture frames. Sold at a digital goodwill for $2.50.

Throughout all the humbling, wonderful outpouring of love for my book cover today, perhaps the most stunning development is this:

I showed it to my Mother, and she didn’t have a single negative thing to say.

In a week, it will be the anniversary of my second book coming out, and my second anniversary as an author, so I'm going to count down the days by trying to convince you to read it, starting with the cover - designed by Lydia Blagden and art by Mia Carnevale.
