Happy September, everyone.
I've got a few pieces coming out this month, and there's even a fancy video trailer for one:
Silk and Foxglove: A BIPOC Eco-Erotic Horror Anthology drops on September 9. It includes my story "All That Came From Our Lips Were Lilies," one of the most experimental and lyrical stories I've ever written. It does not follow a traditional story structure, but something of a circular structure, and I'm proud of it. It's sexy, creepy, and draws upon fairytales, pagan goddesses, and witch trial history.
Tenebrous Press, publisher of Brave New Weird, is running a promotion right now. You can get all three Brave New Weird anthologies for cheap. My award-winning story "The Snow Hath No Queen" is in the third book, which makes me a certifiable weirdo.
Moonlit Getaway's anthology drops on September 23. My story "Sirens Don't Sing Underwater" is included. It's my take on one of Odysseus's side adventures. The anthology is called Harvest Moon: Volume One and you can pre-order it now.
My poems "Honey in the End Times" and "Raspberry Elegy" have been published by ALOCASIA in their special Indigenous authors' issue: Plantcestors. I wrote both of those poems while I was attending the Horror Writers Residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in April.
I also want to share a couple of memoirs with you written by a beloved friend. Ms. Nova North wrote two short ebooks about her life as a gutterpunk and sex worker, and they are harrowing, quick reads. Larry: My Life on Autodestruct Book One and Meth Monsters: My Life on Autodestruct Book Two. I am sad that there will be no more, but Ms. Nova North has passed on, leaving these as her literary legacy. She will be missed.
I'm taking writing classes again this month. I'm currently taking How To Write Fairy Tale Retellings with Alicia King Anderson, Ph.D. Dr. Anderson's courses are always good, and I recommend them. You can check out her website: The Healing Power of Story.
On Saturday, I'll be attending the Writing the Occult: Belief virtual conference. Tickets are still available if you'd like to join me.
Next week, I'm back at horror-writing school with Autumn Frights. Each week, there will be lectures and workshops by different horror writers.
The week after, I begin with a short course on Historical Horror with Ally Wilkes. Looking forward to this. I've been writing a fair bit of historical horror lately, inspired by Inuit stories collected by Inuk ethnographer Knud Rasmussen.
And after several years of applying, I'm finally attending BIPOC Writers Connect in October based on the short story collection I've been developing. That collection is currently out on submission with a couple of different publishers. My goal for this year has been to get a full-length book published. Will I get a contract? We shall see.
In the meantime, I continue my revisions of my novel The Everwhen. I'm pleased with how it is turning out. Sometimes I read it and think it's brilliant, and then I remember that I'm the one who wrote it, and it kinda blows me away. I did that? Yes, I did. Go me.
