It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I am a landscape painter living in Tokyo, and I would be happy if all the art lovers here could see my paintings.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

Finished outlining Book 3 (as best as I can) and I’m taking a break for the holidays. Have a breather, watch some movies, go out with friends and family, and do something else for a little while!

See you in January :)

Companies including OpenAI have stolen vast libraries of works owned by the studios and created by WGA members to train their artificial intelligence systems. We have repeatedly called on studios to take legal action and defend the intellectual property we help create. variety.com/2025/digital...
Disney’s OpenAI Deal ‘Appears to Sanction’ AI Company’s ‘Theft of Our Work,’ WGA Says
The Writers Guild of America said that Disney's huge licensing deal with OpenAI appears to "sanction" the AI company's "theft of our work."

I’m outlining Book 3, and it’s such a chaotic process. I have my notes app open and it’s either I go into a frenzy writing the story beat by beat… or I just put it down because I have no idea where my story is going next hahaha

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Started working on Book 3. Why do I keep doing this to myself? Maps and Magicians was Book 3 and became Book 2, and now the book I had planned for Book 3 is going to be Book 4! Oh well. I have WAY too many ideas lol

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

You know, just thinking about my first experience in the publishing world, and I wrote ONE time for my high school newspaper as a movie critic, but the editor (another student) messed up and never published my article. Oops lol

Cozy horror has been a thing since John Wyndham, and always will be. In the end, cozy is like horror or romance; a modifier rather than a core descriptor. Cozy is a vibe, a "know it when I see it," and none of us, me included, can set hard rules for inclusion.

Give yourself a high five if you wrote a book this year.

You did great!

Hey, you 🫵👁️👁️

You’re awesome.

Let’s talk about the joys of indie pub! A thing I love is that there’s so many types of things to do. I jump from writing to editing to marketing, and I don’t have to do the same thing over and over.

Fun for the brain, yk?

Every time I see an author/creator I admire posting about what a poor month they’ve had, something inside me breaks. How can so much garbage and mass produced slop sell so well while the creatives I love struggle to make ends meet and consistently have day jobs?
