Horror for Weenies is on sale TODAY. I wrote a little bit about what a weird and delightful journey this has been, plus some acknowledgements: readjumpscares.com/2024/09/03/h...

Nice. Also I think we can knock this out before 9pm ET tonight, having a second grant funded in less than 24 hours. Do the thing! givebutter.com/IA1PTE

Today, Asunder is released. This novel is my best, weirdest, most tender work, and I poured my heart into it. I hope it finds its readers. I hope it soars.

Ruoxi Chen edited Some Desperate Glory and without her the book would not exist. This was probably the Hugo I cheered loudest for last night. SO well deserved.

I got tagged in this review, and then needed to lie down for a bit. www.grimdarkmagazine.com/review-asund...

Amongst the least of her bad choices. Come meet Ferain!

ASUNDER by @kerstinhall.bsky.social comes out next week and I will personally fistfight you if you don’t check it out. Look, you can read the first chapter for free over here, you have no excuse not to get hooked!! reactormag.com/excerpts-asu...

1000% agree with this! And honestly, I hope my worlds have half as much originality and precise execution as Kerstin’s does. She’s a writer I admire and wish to emulate! Buy ASUNDER y’all! You will not regret it

“Asunder is likely the most original story hitting shelves this month.” I’m delighted to be featured on this list from Paste Magazine! www.pastemagazine.com/books/fantas...

Last month we shared chapter 1 from @kerstinhall.bsky.social's adult fantasy debut Asunder, which left off with Karys drawn into an alley by a mysterious stranger. Today, read chapter 2 for alllllll the Sabriel x Witch King vibes: reactormag.com/excerpts-asu...

Congratulations to all of the Hugo Award Winners and nominees! Especially delighted to see CW graduate @annleckie.com's Best Series award! congratulations Ann! And shout out to 2024 instructor @ruoxichen.bsky.social for Best Long Form Editor!

Glasgow, sad to leave you! the last 24 hours: won Hugo, celebrated beloved author winning Hugo, got mistaken for Xiran Jay Zhao while literally standing on the ceremony stage w/said Hugo, got called a ch*nk by some hammered teenagers. grateful for Emily Tesh & her timely beautiful speech

What if the teachers at a magical school were actually doing their jobs? THE INCANDESCENT is a book about risk assessments, lesson planning, predicted grades, and how to prevent teenage magicians from enthusiastically feeding themselves to demons; also about privilege, power, and pedagogy.

Chaos bisexual is OVER, highly competent thirtysomething career focused bisexual is HERE. I can’t wait for people to read this one.

trying & failing to gently stalk everyone I met at tonight's event, which was a delight; what a wonderful crossover of former colleagues (including the star of the evening, @ruoxichen.bsky.social), friends of friends, & lovely complete strangers. thank you @clarionwest.bsky.social for having me!

Alright here we go! Here are my highlights for the season in SFF/H, including 30 exciting titles I hope you'll check out reactormag.com/30-more-sff-...

& here’s the self-promotion: SOME DESPERATE GLORY, a book about a horrid teenage terrorist going on a very unwilling voyage of personal discovery, has now been nominated for four major genre awards. That suggests it’s pretty good! Have you read it? Would you like to? www.amazon.com/dp/125083498...

I am genuinely finding it hard to express how I feel about finding SOME DESPERATE GLORY included in the shortlist for the LeGuin Prize. It’s an honour, is the short version. electricliterature.com/announcing-t...

incredibly honored to have gotten to be a part of TWO of this year’s @ursulakleguin.bsky.social Prize finalists. @nghivo.bsky.social & @emilytesh.bsky.social are infinitely brilliant (and both of these books are also up for Hugos if you’re still filling out your ballot 👀)

We're delighted to announce — with help from Electric Literature — the shortlist for the 2024 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction. Congratulations to the authors! The recipient of this year's prize will be announced on Ursula's birthday, October 21st. electricliterature.com/announcing-t...
