If you are in the mood for a cozy writing podcast, might I suggest Four Seasons Writers Retreat?

it’s a podcast where I (Courtney Smyth) and my pal Meg Grehan (author of Baby Teeth, The Space Between, The Deepest Breath and more!) have cozy fireside chats about often-debated aspects of writing in the hopes it’ll encourage you to pick up a pen. All episodes of Four Seasons Writers Retreat ( Volume One: Autumn) are available to listen wherever you get your podcasts (or find a handy link here)

we hope you enjoy your stay!

It’s important for me to remember at all times that before I am an author, I am just 16 various obsessions in a trench coat

THEODORE WYATT HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

So when I was getting dressed today, I very quickly put on a lab coat and some cat ears, not even trying to have something coherent, just wanting to have some kind of costume, and then I used some eyeliner to draw some whiskers on my face, so, yeah, that's my costume, cat in a lab coat, does it make sense? no. who cares. Still wearing the same skirt and striped knee-high socks from yesterday, but that's just my work clothes.

But then when I got to my office in the physics department, one of my colleagues was immediately like, "Oh! Schrödinger's catgirl!"

Wow, this blew up. Here's my soundcloud:

It’s writing time (sitting in the dark with headphones in, moving only to add songs to my relevant WIP playlists while I Ponder plot)

The unique Chippendale doll’s house at Nostell Priory in Yorkshire provides a perfect re-creation in miniature of a house in the 1740s.

the weather is starting to feel like estranging myself from society and sleeping in a warehouse and walking miles into town until my classmate who i’m secretly in love with and obsessed to a point of unrealistic idealization saves me from dying of hypothermia

I know reblogging reviews of your own book is probably generally not cool, but. However. This review MADE MY DAY. Thank you @owlstory!!! I’m so glad my friends are now your friends too!

magical gays, theys and crime solvers, my fantasy mystery series THE UNDETECTABLES just had two more books announced!

book 1 THE UNDETECTABLES follows chronically ill 20-year-old Mallory Hawthorne and her friends Diana, Cornelia, and Theodore (a ghost in a cat costume (don’t ask)) as they start a PI agency to track down a serial killer operating in their small magical town

book 2 THE UNDEAD COMPLEX follows the gang five months after the events of book 1. They’re struggling to find relevant magical murder cases when Diana gets a call from her ex-girlfriend, Taylor, asking her to investigate a murder on set of a zombie tv show called Undead Complex. The victim? Taylor herself. And that’s not the only weird thing happening…

book 3 ?? TBA (2025)

book 4 TBA (2026)

this book series is for anyone who has ever loved CSI, or scooby doo, or rivers of London, or Supernatural, or Bones, or wanted a big gang of queer friends in a queer norm world (or who has ever wanted a very, very slow burn sapphic pining story)
