Always, ALWAYS check out the publisher behind a submission call. Do you really want your work in their hands? Do you agree with their values? What does it cost your heart to get in that bed?

Just black listed a current sub. Damn thankful @AlexWoodroe taught me to check β™‘ https://t.co/o7CV4TSQYm

Dear tiny blue bird,

Sunny can't be arsed going to the steampunk ball. Although, when you add boots and firearms, they get a lot more interesting.

I'm humbled, terrified, and thrilled to announce that my beloved Whisperwoodβ€”my dark and haunted love letter to Romanian folk legendsβ€”is becoming real courtesy of the fantastic Flame Tree Press.

This moment means more than I can say, but I'll spend the next year trying. β™₯️ https://t.co/4bJy1xHe2X

Taking a minute to unwind my brain and make Socată, a traditional Romanian fermented Elderflower drink that I can never get though of.
As soon as I'm done and these jars are basking in the sun, I'll thread the recipe below for you all! https://t.co/BgdErJLcH6

Young Adult Fantasy Series
Given: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 STARS!

Some books are like a good warm hug. Anderson’s The Magic Eaters series is like your favourite cool aunt’s. Dragons? Check. Magic? Check. High stakes and romance? Check, check.

Picking something up for your (actual) young adult readers? You won’t go wrong with this one!

That might seem like a handful, yet with Anderson at the wheel, the reader never feels set upon by any of it. Such an inviting, flowing tale, it’ll take you by the hand in adolescent whispers and deliver adventure. (Cont…)

It's out in the world! Check out my debut story PIRATES OF THE TOMES, in RUNS LIKE CLOCKWORK, A Steampunk Anthology by Wyldblood Press.

Lassa is a librarian, which is great, unless you're in a dystopian world now facing a literature prohibition.

Get this thing most of the places you can think of. It's a fun mix!
