A small drawing of a round black cat wearing a red & green Christmas sweater and a tiny red & green elf hat. They have big swirly red cheeks and a tiny tongue sticking out. Their face is smiling but naughty. Above them it says “crimmus”

re: ai, you people don’t love making things you love having things and capitalism has convinced you that ownership is self actualization and it’s not and that’s why you’re empty inside
My friend @esselle.bsky.social made a book trailer for #DeadMansBlood 😳 She was a creative co-conspirator for this toxic little book and a perfect cheerleader.
Dead Man's Blood is an adult horror romance; it's spicy, it's angry, and it's really gay.
I wrote a toxic queer thing!

the lesson execs should learn from sinners: people want ambitious, original, extremely hot movies with something to say

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:
Did not expect this random obliteration of my heart and also to say thank you afterward. Gorgeous.
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AAAAAAAAAAAAH

Cover for The Duke at Hazard by KJ Charles, strapline "In this game of love, everything's at stake." Illustrated image. A room with a curtained doorway leading through to another room. In the background, silhouetted, is what looks like a riotous party or possibly a fight. In the foreground, two men sit opposite one another at a table. They are both holding cards, but ignoring them in favour of clinking glasses of wine, with lots of eye contact, and also playing footsie very subtly under the table. One is well dressed and slim, the other a bit less smart and slightly bigger. Mood is of two people having a quiet, loving moment in the midst of total chaos.
COVER REVEAL TIME! Check out The Duke at Hazard, art by Chloe Friedlein.
Coming 18th July from Orion in print, e, and audio (reader is tbc). Up for preorder in all the usual places!

And actually, I want everyone to understand this.
I posted it on ko-fi. I'm asking for tips; I'm broke.
My partners have started reading the new WIP
Holding a Gender Conceal party, in which I climb into a cake and my gender is never mentioned again.
The insistence on "likeable characters" has really messed up novels, which are obviously best when narrated by a weird little delusional freak
the drake-style no/yes meme but it's Geordi LaForge "space sillionaires" is in both panels indicated by gesturing no and yes, respectively, are No to Space Billionaires Adj, Noun and Yes to Space Billionaires Verb, Noun
Grammar matters
(take a look,
it's in a book)
