ICYMI: I had a new story out last week, with @kyliu99.bsky.social! As humanity moves to the stars, a young woman attempts to preserve the magical forest she fell in love with as a child...

Woohoo Portland this Thursday!!!

Yesterday had one kid trying to make bean custard at 3am and the other one letting their slugs roam free on yogurt bucket lids while they cleaned the salad-bowl-habitat but TODAY all children are back in school. (Slugs are still at home.)

This would work well for me as a presenter because I'm always worried I'm going to mess up someone's name, no matter how many pronunciation notes I've made !

Brandon's fabulous reading of his gorgeous poem (about at the 1:48:30 mark on the second link) was one of my favorite moments at Worldcon this weekend!

@carolinemyoachim.bsky.social reading with @carolinemyoachim.bsky.social from her incredible Hugo-nominated story, We Will Teach You How to Read.

Today at #WorldCon! 3:30 reading in room 428. Gonna read 2 funny things - a bit of my theatre+schnauzer mystery from FutureSF, and a bit of the NEW cozy fantasy I"m working on. It's got handwritten letters, mail-order spells, and pneumatic tubes. 😃 Come on by and tell me if you want to hear more 😃

FYI I cleaned out about a dozen Copperhead trade paperbacks from my study and left them on the freebies shelves in the dealers room! You know what to do if you want one! #WorldCon

Right NOW I'm otw to Seattle, but at 1:00 I will be at the Fairwood Press table with Caroline M Yoachim!!! Come say hi if you're around!!

My #WorldCon schedule! See some of you soon!!!

In addition to my official programming schedule, I'll also be at: -The Clarion West party (Weds 7-9pm) -Thursday 1-2pm: Fairwood Press table (dealer room) with @tinaconnolly.bsky.social - Saturday night Hugo festivities :)

Final hours of the Uncanny Kickstarter and the current stretch goal is supporting raises for the hard working fabulous staff!!! ❤️🦄🎉

I sometimes use tarot cards as #writing prompts, and I picked up this gorgeous deck when I was at the Locus Awards, with art by featured local artist @spmlaw.bsky.social. Her website shows off more of her art, which is beautiful and full of whimsy: www.shadowscapes.com/index.php

Read this wonderful essay, and read Tina Connolly's books because they're excellent also: I humbly suggest that if this essay speaks to you, you'll enjoy my fairy tales-meet-musicals series, Curses & Curtains! Book 1: devan-barlow.itch.io/an-uncommon-... or books2read.com/u/bzKXBj

I wrote an essay for Uncanny about fantasy musical theatre!! (Although the essay has many examples and even more links :D the marvelous thing is how many more shows I didn't have space to include. Truly a wealth of amazing theatre out there to talk about!) www.uncannymagazine.com/article/fant...

Heck yeah this is gonna rock!!!

Pro tip: When trying to fall asleep, don't look up the lyrics to the Can Can immediately before bed "just out of curiosity" and "I used to know them" and "where's the harm" and I CAN CAN AND YOU CAN CAN SO WHY SHOULD NOT WE TWO CAN CAN WHO CAN CAN LIKE YOU CAN CAN FEW CAN DO CAN CAN LIKE YOU C-

Come for the boxes, stay for the scones!!
