A VR headset that also doubles as a PC so you don't have to upgrade your little barely chugging along laptop?? *slaps cash down* gimme!

Indigenous Peoples Month starts today! We'll be showcasing a #sciencefiction, #fantasy, or #horror book every day this month, all by Indigenous female, nonbinary, and trans authors from the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Let's make those TBR lists a few 📚 longer!

Okay. One last teaser until the Friday cover reveal of VILE LADY VILLAINS. 😈🗡️

YESSS

Does BPAL do an advent calendar? 👀

you can pick up THE DEATH OF MOUNTAINS from @lethepress.bsky.social directly:

I've just spent the morning lounging in a spot of sunlight and reading and holy shit my soul needed that

Hey, if you have an MM (especially SF, fantasy, and horror) book out in 2026, let me know!

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want. (Here's the opening of "Neptune's Brood".)

Sure, it's been a hot minute. Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

This morning, I feel like many of us in the US can confidently say: Brr.

Oh no. 💔 Nia is a vital part of this community.

Me: Eh, I don't really care about gender or pronouns. Also me, whenever someone theys me: 🥰

The thing about cutting your own hair is every once in a while you eff it up and now you're torn between shaving it all off (safe) or rocking the eff up until it grows enough to fix (risky)

What are some trad pub SFF/H books that have been out at least a year that you think didn't get enough attention? Adult or YA. Marginalized authors preferred, and small press titles encouraged. Not looking for big bestsellers or award-sweepers.

Current research for WIP. I wonder what the connecting theme is 🤔

Finished reading IwtV and I definitely hadn't read the whole thing (if I ever did). What a strange little thought experiment on the human condition. A whole lotta "wouldn't it be fucked up if..." in one book.

Definitely ‘Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity’ from @erewhonbooks.bsky.social! Editing this project was such a powerful joy, especially right now, and I’m honored by all the amazing writers & translators who contributed and entrusted me with their stories. bookshop.org/p/books/ampl...

Honestly, the "Target has a new rule about interacting with customers" thing also underscores how much skill service jobs require. Knowing when/how to interact w/a customer is a *skill*. "Smile and greet within 10 feet" is a blanket rule to cover for the fact that they don't train on that skill.

The toe-biting fiend in question

Woke up and kitten is choosing violence. Let's see how much rewriting I can get in before she eats my toes. #5amWritersClub

Me: I'm going to have time to work on the queer books list in November! Work: *explodes like a freaking super nova*

We are off to New Haven today, folks, to do some ##Sirens26 recon. Anyone have any questions we can get you answers to? Ask 'em here!

As someone who sometimes faints and doesn't like when people make a big deal about it... this is not what I mean 😬

Oh dang. I wonder if this is why I've stopped seeing some folks on here. Not cool. I'd rather block them myself.

Honestly delighted they're not going to rush something out just to have it out. 3+ years gives the animators and writers room to make an excellent sequel

I'm not even good at promoting my own work, which is why shouting about queer adult SFF has been a godsend. Also, y'know, queer books ♥️🤎💛💚💙💜

all right, big news time: ALL THREE OF MY PROJECTS EARNED OUT this is probably the first time in my life I've felt anything like success and accomplishment, and I'm blessedly too tired to have my eyes on what's next I wrote 1.8K about what I learned jowritesfantasy.me/2025/11/04/a...

GOOD. THINGS. ARE POSSIBLE. AND WE DON'T. HAVE. TO SETTLE.

Afternoon morale boost 💜

We've got an extremely small and local election today, which makes it even more vital to vote.

Hoorah! This book is out today!

Aahhh the sequel to THE WITCH ROADS is out today!! I don't often immediately pre-order the next book in a series because I am lame, but I did for this one because AAHHHH if you like luscious, ambulatory fantasy with big worlds and sexy hauntings and creepy corruptions, WELL

Seriously thought Dick Cheney was already dead 😅

Give me recs for SFF YA fiction with queer female MCs?

98% of the time the morning commute is slower by bike, but the other 2% of the time, the kids get to play "count how many stopped cars we've passed" while giggling madly

stop calling your heart's work "content"

Oops, my finger slipped and now I've opened a doc for the rewrite. I'm curious if this will be just as wild a ride as the initial draft 👀

4yo has enjoyed the entire series but he was absolutely stoked when Prince in Pink came out. It hurts my heart so much that anyone would think this book is harmful. Boys deserve to love pink, to be excited about parties, just as much as anything else.

Feral Flame will be out next week! It's showing up on BookShop already but I'll officially launch it on the 11th. www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

If I ever write fulltime, it'll be thanks to my wife still working. For now, we both win the bread with fulltime jobs; creating happens in the nooks and odd hours.

I have to laugh because otherwise I'd cry at how accurate this is. Thread.

I have a book dropping from @torbooks.bsky.social on Tuesday (The Nameless Land, the 2nd book of The Witch Roads duology, so if you're waiting for the entire story, it is here) THEN a near future sf novelette ("Barnacle") dropping on Wednesday at @reactorsff.bsky.social so brace yourselves, peeps.

Currently working on the rest of the year (July through December), so now's a good time to let me know about your queer adult SFF that's come out in 2025! And of course, if I missed you in the first half, let me know!

This came out last week and I somehow missed it!

Strength to all the parents whose kids are going to wake up no later than they usually do. 😅

Good riddance, DST

And I'd point out that the low turnout for 30-44 is probably because a larger proportion of that group has young kids which makes attending protests a little more difficult
