On the verge of a quarter-life-crisis, an almost-twenty-five year old girl follows her best friend to a private penthouse party on NYE. Only one of them will leave with a heartbeat, and neither of their lives will ever be the same. Mood board for “This Crimson Debt” Feb 2023

Peggy loves vampires, too.

Also, This Crimson Debt is now available on library loan at the Ann Arbor, MI Public Library—support them if you can!

When you didn’t realize you were giving speed readers a ✨challenge✨ but now they’re racing each other to see who can finish your book in one night or less 😳 (Lesson learned, obvs—speed readers are feral and amazing)

Yes, I’m still alive. No, I’m not here much. Went to Puerto Rico earlier this month. I think I caught Santa’s dry run—figured I’d post it tonight.

I don’t know why I’m coming on here to say this, but I am terrified of heights. Like, on a deep-seated, primal level. I can’t even look at videos or pictures of people doing things like standing on top of cell towers or construction sites without feeling queasy.

Hey, bigots: Fuck You. Blocked.

You won’t make trans people, and those of us who love our trans friends and family members, disappear. We might retreat for a while to take care of our safety, but we aren’t going anywhere. I’ve had a shitty summer. It’s hot and I’m angry. I won’t shut up about this.

Vampyre Cosmetics, the folks behind the brand, their friends, and their allies, will not be silenced or destroyed for supporting the basic human rights of trans kids and their families to make the best medical decisions without political interference. The hate won’t shut us up.

It’s appalling. I’m disgusted. Vitriolic attacks against a woman and a brand acting in accordance with long-stated and upheld values have forced the brand off this app, and I am livid. Y’all don’t fuck around like that with New Orleanians.

—her, and her family. They are doxing and threatening her *children.* Y’all. You can’t claim you’re all for “protecting kids” and then put the lives of very real children on the line like this and expect anyone to think you actually care about children.

The backlash against Vampyre Cosmetics has been disgusting. People who would never ordinarily give a rat’s ass about a small makeup company owned by a queer disabled woman, who know nothing about my friend Rachel and her values at all, are harassing—

-following his statements against trans healthcare for kids. Allowing children to advocate for themselves, and *believing* their own understanding of their identity, should never be considered a “fad.” Shame on anyone who would reduce any aspect of a person’s identity that way.

The people behind Vampyre Cosmetics are my dear friends, colleagues, and creative collaborators. The brand has always stood with the entirety of the LGBTQIA+ community, including as especially the “T,” and as such, no one should be surprised that they cut ties w/ Alice Cooper-

They’re all 10’s, but…

I have been working for the last year at one of the locations selling Central Grocery’s famous sandwiches. I can’t wait for their grand re-opening. And I LOVE that they’re prioritizing wheelchair accessibility in the rebuild. https://t.co/ICsB8oMj3Q

It’s me. Hi. I’m good at the words and letters thing. 🥰 Thank you so much!

@rose_sinister Bought a copy of your book during a tour with you through the French Quarter the other night. Been reading it since I got home. ...You are REALLY good at this words and letters thing. I can't put it down! Well done!

*edits A BLOOM OF RUST* *looks at Gaiman* 👀 …dammit.

*I had to hand-draw on Harold’s sideburns and they’re still not right, but I’m satisfied for now. Calliope’s hair is too long. Grace’s shirt color is not perfect. But for a project I did for myself while on pain meds, I’m pretty happy with the results.

I started with composite AI models and extensively re-worked the details with a series of apps on my iPad. Here are the central characters of A BLOOM OF RUST* NGL—I kind of have a crush on Avie. If she offered to buy me a drink I’d fall right into that trap.
