I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ranin. Ranin was a teacher before this. Ranin had two children Misk, 2 and Sanad, 1 but she lost sweet little Misk. Ranin is also pregnant and her tent was flooded this week. She has a new fundraiser and could really use help.

Were Tanith Lee and Storm Constantine the only white British cis women who weren't TERFs?

(As far as I know they weren't)

Man perpetuated the cycle that broke both him and Cathy and became a monster himself.
If you think Heathcliff is the epitome of a romantic hero, you need to reread the book.

That man violently abuses his wife, locks up a teenager away from her dying father and forces her into a bad marriage so he get her money, hangs a dog, abuses his own son, delierately degrades Hareton...

Absolutely this. Imagine a guy coming back into your life after you were a dick to him and he then goes on to seduce your sister in law, marry and abuse her; when you're dead, he digs you up to spend time with, he kidnaps your daughter, mistreats both your nephews (including abusing his own son)...
If they made a modern setting version of Wuthering Heights it’d be like one of those bleak crime drama shows (Silent Witness etc)

I am, as always, taking suggestions and heads ups and etc from publishers and authors and unassociated but interested parties.
An ongoing thread of short story collections coming in 2026, of work weird/surreal/dark/uncanny/unsettling/ghostly/ghastly, across genres, so that they're all in one place that I can refer back to when I inevitably forget what books I was meaning to request review copies of:

There's a funny story in that, although it has nothing whatsoever to do with Pentecostal Modernism.

Battle scenes are hard for me, but writing the characters' mental reactions to certain things come good to me.
What scenes are the hardest and easiest for you to write?

Hardest for me: Drawn out battle scenes. Takes me forever to write because I'm trying to keep the action going.

Easiest: Dialogue. I trained on Gilmore Girls, Tolkien and Buffy lmao. Dialogue is my jam.
