I wrote The Companions We Lose years ago and after a handful of rejections, and one publisher contract dissolving, I honestly didn't plan for it to see the light of day.

It's the second book I ever wrote, based on the simple but gut wrenching concept that everyone can relate to: losing a pet...

Dark Sisters is such a good book

Tomorrow!!!! Thrilled to be sharing my chat with Kristi Demeester on her novel, Dark Sisters, hitting shelves tomorrow. Kristi has written one hell of a horror story examining the resounding nature of familial trauma, female-centered horrors, and much more!🖤

Hey, folks, please consider grabbing a copy of this anthology. I hope to keep it going.

Great anthology with a strong selection of stories that run the wide spectrum of weird. Horror, fantasy and sci-fi are all here, along with just plain odd and eerie tales.

The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Volume 1, curated by Michael Kelly, @undertow.bsky.social.
Eerie, abstract image of what could be a human eye, but in place of the black pupil is a ghostly, blurry face. Text reads: "The Best Weird Fiction of the Year, Volume 1," curated by Michael Kelly.

what’s more virgin than a computer
Joe Rogan: "Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What's more virgin than a computer? If Jesus does return, you don't think he could return as artificial intelligence? Al could absolutely return as Jesus."

Chewy new poem today from @probablyharmless.bsky.social!

"If my form / Were as massive as my hunger / And my mouth as colossal as my want / I would crush your beautiful body / Upon the thirty-two jagged peaks that line my jaws"

She’s back! But just for a few days.

Order your copy of Nineteen Little Stab Wounds at: dreadstonepress.com/product-cate...

Available today through November 30.

All sales will be donated to Transgender Law Center. 1/6
Image shows the front cover of Nineteen Little Stab Wounds, painted by Olivia Steen. A woman turns her head to face the observer, while her exposed vertebrae trail up the back of her sheer nightdress. She has no hair, no irises or pupils, and her cheeks are flushed raw and bloody. She is very beautiful and her deep red lips offer a knowing smile. Nineteen Little Stab Wounds is a chapbook of microfiction and flash by Alexis Dubon, sold to raise money in support of crucial organizations. So far it has contributed hundreds of dollars for different causes since its debut in 2023. This Thanksgiving week, all sales will be donated to Transgender Law Center. There are 30 paperback copies available at $10 each, shipping included, as well as an ebook for $5. Every penny of every sale will go directly to Transgender Law Center. In addition to that, Alexis will match every dollar raised to put toward the total amount contributed. This fundraiser will last from November 26-November 30. As we are all aware, the rights, safety, autonomy, and access to necessary medical care of real human beings have all come under threat as many in power fight for the criminalization of trans existence. But we are fighting too, and we won’t ever stop. Transgender Law Care is the largest national trans-led organization, assisting with employment, prison conditions, education, immigration, and healthcare, among other successful efforts to protect and advance the rights of gender nonconforming people across the country. Learn more about Transgender Law Center here: https://transgenderlawcenter.org/

If ebooks bought on Bookshop could be sent to Kobo to read, or Kobo support the Bookshop app on the device, I'd move to that ecosystem immediately

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.
