Next week will be my first time at the AWP Conference! I’ll be on a panel about games & literature with @natmesnard.bsky.social, @davering.bsky.social, @nirele.bsky.social, & @brigittewinter.bsky.social!

but then projects like WHAT ELEGANT STARS come along, and i think--hot damn. *this* is why speculative fiction exists. (kinda. it exists for lots of other reasons, including that it's fun going "what if xyz" happened. but, you know what i mean.) www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

My novella THE HIDDEN ONES is for sale over at @rebelsatori.bsky.social right now. It's just $8 for the print copy, plus if you use code ANALOG it will take off another.... $0.80? I have a feeling the code is more useful for full price titles. rebelsatori.com/product/the-...

Two ttrpg party illustrations for @davering.bsky.social and friends! Two different settings, two different vibes, two different mediums, two and a half years apart. (Most recent on the left, props to anyone who can say what restaurant they're at ;D )

Watch this space. 🚀🪡 www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

looks like my novella is for sale over at Rebel Satori. maybe check it out if you enjoy queer urban fantasy, wildly misconstrued irish mythology and/or brattish protagonists? rebelsatori.com/product/the-...

Oh hey this dropped when I wasn't looking! "A Reckoning of Queens" is a SILK AND STEEL-inspired fantasy short story with origami magic, unusual rules of succession, and a dreadful dead king. Delighted for it to have found a home at SWORDS AND SORCERY. swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/a-reckoning-...

someone please remind me to sit forward next time you see me slouching on a panel. looks like i fell asleep behind the wheel back there.

Thank you so much for creating this, Kate! The hour approacheth!!

CATS ALIVE IT IS ONE WEEK TO CAN*CON! First of all, apologies for the relative silence from this account as we have been dealing with Certain Matters, although the Rumours of a Goblin Rebellion are at best Exaggerated and Scurrilous.
