I've somehow surpassed 40.1K followers, so if anyone is looking for groovy folks in the creative community to follow, I have these two starter packs! (I will eventually make more, I promise lmao.) bsky.app/starter-pack... bsky.app/starter-pack...

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

Quote with four of your favorite holiday movies ❄️☃️

Given how inextricable the tech industry is from the Trump administration at this point, fighting one inevitably supports efforts to fight the other. We let data centers be built unchallenged at our peril in more ways than one.

Just a reminder this holiday season that you can give the gift that is a relaxing and welcome break from today's headlines. Follow the journey of one person making a lonely way through a world where the lines between life and death are obliterated. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/in-the-sha...

Young people in the U.S. have been priced out of their dreams. Stop acting like it’s their fault.

You need to read this entire thread. It's sobering information.

With Halloween coming up, here's a little something for those nights when you love to sleep with the lights on. This is available to order in print or download directly at Barnes & Noble www.barnesandnoble.com/w/in-the-sha...

And my latest short story has been submitted to a friendly, neighborhood horror magazine. Now we wait. Not gonna lie: it isn't easy holding my breath until I hear something. Thankfully, I look good in blue.

It's Saturday. Post a cartoon you like.

With shopping malls dying everywhere, owners had to become innovative. Oviedo Mall chose to stay alive by reinventing itself. with vigor. This October, it's hosting a Book Fair. Many authors will be there, including yours truly. If you're in the central Florida area, drop in and say hello!

The challenge was to name a non-LOTR character who is good but would get totally messed up by the One Ring. My mind went in the opposite direction. This choice, my hero, would have Sauron, himself, lobbing that ring into Mt Doom like a starting pitcher for the Red Sox.

Demelza, a world-weary witch, and Uliana, an even more exhausted vampyre, work together to send wayward demons, ghosts and otherworldly creatures back to where they came from. But some jobs are more difficult than others. 🔖 story: mybook.to/RXIIkD 💌 itch.io: rebecca-crunden.itch.io/on-demon-wra...

Just left the #SupermanMovie. Optimism, hope, diversity, courageous immigrants, the evils of a nation trying to wipe out an entire population, people being imprisoned for speaking out, a maniacal billionaire—and goodness overcoming. Of course MAGAs hate it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/conservati...

If you're familiar with the central Florida area, this is the most un-mall kind of mall there is. It has a couple of anchor stores, and the rest are small or independent. And they do festivals. On July 12, I'll be selling my novel here and talking about new projects. If you're there, please say hi!

I'm still here. Just spending more time in my writing account/alt recently.

Hey #naturistfiction fans, the new (sixth!) anthology of #naturist stories comes out next week! The theme is science fiction and fantasy, and it's a stunning selection.

The anthology Bare Skies Ahead is now available for pre-order. My short story, "The Eternal Summer of Persephone Grace," was selected to be in this collection, and I am thrilled beyond words. Thanks to editor Ted Bun for inviting me to join this adventure and for helping me along the way.

So. which Stephen king book are we doing today, folks?

My sincere thanks to Rebecca for the interview. This was my first time on the other side of the interview questions, and she made it exciting.

So, this was my Saturday. I set up for the second annual Blackbird Book Fair, hosted by Ten10 Brewing Company in Orlando. These images are from the set-up, before the crowds arrived to explore, peruse, or just have a really fun Saturday. So, how was this, my first book fair as an author? Well 1/

Going to watch "The Shoes of the Fisherman" in memory of Pope Francis. The most humble among us cast the longest shadows, and I am forever captivated by that simple reality.

Hello, everyone! 🙂 On Saturday, April 26, I'll be at 10 Ten Brewing Company. 1010 Virginia Drive, Orlando, Florida, from 12 Noon till 6 PM, with my book. It's for the Second Annual Blackbird Bookfair, and I'll be in the company of other authors and artists. I f you're in the area, say hello!

It looks like I've been booked for a book fair less than a month from now. I asked how many of my books I should bring for the event, and the organizer said, "Just bring all that you have." Still catching my breath after hearing that.

Elbows up, Canada.

A friend alerted me to this. I don't know how many of you have seen it, but I figured precautionary sharing was in order. authorsguild.org/news/meta-li...
