Loved that story!
My novella, THE APOLOGISTS, is a finalist for the BSFA awards.
You can read and/or listen to at. @clarkesworldmagazine.com Link below.
On the one hand, yay!
On the other hand, I've been nominated for the BSFA many times. I never win. So, boo!
But you can still enjoy the story.
Thank you! IMHO Tesla is absolutely fascinating!
After nearly four years in hardcover, SPEAR is finally available in paperback. Same book, same delicious interior illustrations, just a few more nifty quotes on the back :)
βIs there a technology the left is excited about?β
High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!
Oh, this is terribly on the nose! What a loss for SFF readers, in the midst of the WaPo blowup.

Dream goal unlocked! While I was at the New Yorker Hotel for the Tesla Spirit Conference to talk about my book TESLA'S OPERA, I got to visit the room where Nikola Tesla lived, and where he died in 1943. Shivers.
Fascinating! Great project!
Woot!!
Make it viral.

Great thread by the Doctora, putting 2 books in conversation. I loved Possession, had a thornier reaction to The Name of the Rose...
Dang!! Kudos for finding the silver lining, but Dang!!
Awesome cover by Augusta Scarlett features a black woman in winter gear holding a futuristic rifle, pointed at the ground; she's looking down at a snowy landscape featuring mountains, distant spaceships, and an orbital elevator. The whole thing is in shades of blue, with purple in the title.
The newbie's going to have to learn fast and not die.
Talia struggles with trauma while embroiled in a perilous mission on an icy planet, and working to trust her new compatriots. Breathless adventure!
