One was a hive of bees, one was an enchanted cutlass, and one was a digital screen prototype made by the Waterbury Clock Company.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

My short story, "With Her Serpent Locks," receives the deep dive treatment on a recent episode of @writingexcuses.bsky.social. Listen here: writingexcuses.com/21-07-deep-d...

Ghosts don't sleep & therefore find it very interesting when human go to bed. This is fine and it is good for them to be curious about the living. Unfortunately, if they let themselves be seen, humans find them incredibly intrusive & creepy, which ruins their attempts at sleep, & angers the ghosts!

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

I wrote a personal essay about my love for bittersweet endings and LOTR, via the awfulness of the year 2001. And uh I wasn't expecting history to be rhyming quite so hard this week but here we are 😓 www.uncannymagazine.com/article/bitt...

We're heading to AWP in Baltimore this week. If you'll be there, drop by booth #442 and say hi.

Word I had to add to my word processor's spellcheck dictionary because of @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social: "ooo-OO-oooo"

So, I was on Speculative Sundays this past weekend, and it's now on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8t0... Akua, the host, asked me where my dragon love comes from. . . . Anne McCaffrey's Pern. I was ALL about unicorns till I read the Harper trilogy at 11 or 12. It's been dragons ever since.

They look so innocent from here.

I don't have my usual favorites thread with my February 2026 round-up, but I still have quite a few stories to talk about, and I'd like to link a couple past threads (does that make this a thread? Okay maybe) www.tarvolon.com/2026/03/01/f...

Hey there. Latest story, now out, "Scion." Strangeness. Estrangement. And the history that gets lost in between. A son and father in a moving house. Deranged relatives at cross-purposes. A community fleeing a murderous intruder. A crumbling lunar colony in revolt. Hope folks enjoy. Twisty one.

Poetry.

This is amazing!! Everyone go take the quiz right now. So much fun!

@cornellwriter.bsky.social you literally made me cry ❤️‍🩹 I enjoyed the humor, too. "I can’t tell you if I believed in Heaven or Hell before I died, but if there is a Hell, I’m pretty sure they’d play disco there, and Shirley would be at the mic with the amps turned up to max."

For the evening crowd, you can now take a sciencefictionally-backed quiz to determine which Issue One story is right for you. www.adventitious.net/issue-one-pe...

Thrilled to be back in the pages of @havehashad.com today with a short one, about two brothers who find one of the Voyager probe golden records in their grandfather's field. Hope you like it.

Really excited to have a story in Adventitious Issue 2 alongside all these incredible authors!!

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them. Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.

My bid for Warner Bros. didn't win. 😢

We've had a day to pull a few things together, so here's a thread some more targeted info opposing the potential national book ban just proposed in the House of Representatives.

My new Strange Horizons essay is up! With a deliberately provocative title! WHY ALL SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS ARE HISTORIANS Yes, *all* And, no, it isn't just for the reason you think... I've been working toward this one for a while, very excited to share it!
