So I blazed through @clpolk.com’s ‘Even Though I Knew The End’ in a day.

Wonderful story.

Read it if you like an old time radio detective story that also includes magic.

We can ask Farrell and Jim :)

I'll be reading at Brooklyn Books & Booze on March 17, and you know I'll be drinking this!

Yes. I Am Running For The New York State Senate A short announcement and an answer to a frequently asked question.

I believe healthcare is a human right. So I'm running for the New York State Senate: www.monroegazette.com/p/yes-i-am-r...

I’ve been writing for 30 years. Earlier today, I sent @cgolden.bsky.social my latest story. He said it was one of the best things he’s ever read by me. I needed to hear that. Whether you’re a wide-eyes newbie or a jaded veteran, occasional accolades from a peer make this writer journey much easier.

Whoa. I just discovered this account. Following!

If anyone has a hankering for a fantasy spy story set in Italy in the late 1400s, the link is below. Trivia: "The God Thieves" was my third sale for qualifying for membership in @sfwa.org.

This viewpoint seems to be very strongly held.

Wow. Nice.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

I sometimes don't realize how few original posts I do here, because the world is a disaster and I have structural edits due on my next novel in 12 days. And toddler. Always toddler. And book edits.

The fourth volume of The Quantum Evolution series will be dropping in October, from @solarisbooks.bsky.social. The series began with The Quantum Magician.

I second this "amazing editorial work." When he published a story of mine, I learned a lot about editing I continue to try to apply to this day. Also support @bcsmagazine.bsky.social and read Jason's story! :)

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Wow. GenAI still sounds awful.

Although it's a bit beyond the decision, if there's no author there's no art either.

Skin Thief by Suzan Palumbo (ebook) — neon hemlock This order will come with a DRM-free epub file. The stories in this collection of dark fantasy and horror short stories grapple with the complexities of identity, racism, homophobia, immigration, ...

It is women in horror month. I am one of those and here is my gothic/horror lit collection that people said was pretty good.

Elizabeth's essay really delves into the way our culture fails to see women's voices as authoritative, important, or deeply relevant -- and why that makes it so hard for women to be as read within the horror genre.

Tonight I was at a lovely bookish event in my local town and a wonderful reader saw The Embroidered Book on my table, came to me and said "Did you write that? That is my favourite book! I thought you were, I don't know, American, I didn't know you lived here!" That right there makes it all worth it.

Interesting to see Alison Blair in that list.

This is a lovely memory :)

TGIF! Join @tealproductions.bsky.social @evan_bevins and I, as we continue our look at Marvel Fanfare! The conclusion to the #Spiderman portion of this adventure! #comicbooks #podcast

I hope the recovery is fast and easy.

Look, I'm not a proponent of "You MUST belong to group X to write about/in the voice of a member of group X."

However, I am a HUGE proponent of "But don't be a fucking disrespectful dickbag about it! Understand systems of power! And intersectionality! And do your damn homework! For fuck sake!!!" 🤗

Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.

14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.

Not at the price I'm buying things... lol

I should have picked this one, not Star Wars Annual 3! This one is definitely worth 25 cents - I paid 50 when I was 12 yrs old. Prof. Alan's show asks "Is this comic worth 25 cents?" I was on a previous episode and was seduced by the dark side to a middling Star Wars comic. bsky.app/profile/dere...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Going to re-up our call to nominate On Spec for Best Semiprozine at the Hugos

With Canadian identity under attack by USA-based alt-right political forces, it's an important moment to celebrate things that are weirdly Canadian

This is also their last year of eligibility. Throw them a vote, please.

Wow. These polling numbers are pretty stark.
22% of Canadians view the USA as a friend or ally and
69% of Canadians prefer that we approach the USA as a potential threat or with caution.
