Bsky has crossed 40 million users, and I just need 20 of them to commission me to write a story for them this month.

(This could technically be 1 in a 2 million story 😆)

Think of yourself as, ugh, a foodie? Two books that ask you to "remember the corporate and political power behind every option at the supermarket, and to be conscious of how various kinds of media are selling us certain sorts of gastronomic pleasure".

Is there some cricket WhatsApp which just talks about the matched around?

Both twitter and bluesky have very few match tweets.

I'm guessing it is the discount for #KofiDiscountChallenge that resulted in some new sales.

The #WIPSnips word for November 21st is "direction"

Here's something from a story I wrote for Flame Tree Publishings' call for a story about Gilgamesh.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
The third layer gave way with a sickening lurch, and the ground beneath their feet ceased to feel solid, replaced by a sensation of dizzying, infinite depth. Gravity became capricious; they fought half-submerged in the swirling, purple atmosphere, their sense of up and down violently discarded. Every swing of Gilgamesh's axe was a struggle against the universe's refusal to acknowledge its weight or direction, a betrayal of natural law.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GroundedGulls but basically any Gull not in flight - so I'll have to re-share this #WateredGull (since I don't have them on ground, but at least they are not in flight)

📚 💙 The Pale House Devil by @richardkadrey.bsky.social
The novella 'The Pale House Devil. It's slom book with a bright red cover. On the very top of the cover, there is a quote by author Paul Tremblay written in tiny black letters - "A thrilling, inventive, pulpy, bi-coastal romp with a bloody beating heart. " In the middle of the bright red cover is a very dark sinister looking house (mansion?), behind this house are either red flames or tentacles that seem to frame the house like a foreboding halo. Against the dark front door of the house are two white silhouettes, only one of the figures has a black skull...💀 The book is kept on a deep beige carry bag from Kitab Khana bookstore in Mumbai and you can see the address of the store printed on the bag in black. "Kitab Khana, Ground Floor, Somaiya Bhavan, 45/47 M. G. Road, Fort, Mumbai- 400001. Tel: 022-61702276/77/78 Email: enquire@kitabkhana.in Website: www.kitabkhana.in" Back cover of The Pale House Devil. Following words appear as is. "A perfect collision of haunted house terror and private-eye noir. Dead solid perfect!" JONATHAN MABERRY, New York Times bestselling author of Cave 13 and Patient Zero "A perfect, meaty morsel of a story... I read it in one go and am devilishly hungry for more." DELILAH S. DAWSON, author of The Violence, Bloom and Star Wars: Phasma "A fast-paced riot of a horror novella with the perfect combo of creepy and comedic. I loved every page!" V. CASTRO, author of Goddess of Filth, The Haunting of Alejandra and more Ford and Neuland - one living, one undead; one of them kills the undead, the other kills the living. When a job goes bad in New York, they head west to wait for the heat to cool down. There, a young woman named Tilda Rosenbloom hires them to track and kill a demon haunting a mansion in remote northern California owned by wealthy landowner, Shepherd Mansfield. As the trio investigate, they uncover a legacy of blood, sacrifice and slavery in the house. Forced to confront a powerful creature unlike anything they've faced before, they come to learn that the most frightening monster might not be the one they're hunting...
