I'm SUPER EXCITED to have a new flash story forthcoming in UFO 10! I love these funny collections and they are well worth pre-ordering via the Kickstarter!!

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!!

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!!!

Come for the boxes, stay for the scones!!

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:
