Back from Les Utopiales Festival in France! Ate incredible pastries, met readers who lifted my heart, and sat on panels exploring disability, gender, and identity. So many warm, passionate writers, artists and fans. Thank you J'ai Lu Editions for making it happen! America, we need more French SFF!

These Burning Stars by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social! My favorite book of the past few years. Don't really understand why it's not on everyone's lips all the time. Sequel good too, finale due out soon.

The Kindom trilogy by @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social  concludes with This Brutal Moon, which comes out this December. This is hands down one of the best SF series I've read in the last 10 years. If you haven't read the first two yet, what are you waiting for?! @orbitbooks.bsky.social

Hi everyone. Looking for recs on books about #livingwithdisability. My sister is recently disabled with neuro issues. This may be chronic or permanent. I would love to find her accessible own voices to help her process her grief, anger, and fear. Any ideas?

This thread is so fucking important.

The amazing @voidcricket.bsky.social's sophomore novel AN UNBREAKABLE WORLD is out now. I was honored to get to read an advanced copy, and if you love a world that feels historically rich, complex and messy and lived in, as well as heist plots and multiple timelines, you gotta get it.

Thanks so much to these amazing authors!💫 @unamccormack.bsky.social @kbwagers.com @essahansen.bsky.social @katemurray.bsky.social @khanwong.bsky.social @taranhunt.bsky.social @clairewinn.bsky.social @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social @rebeccafraimow.bsky.social @garethlpowell.bsky.social

@voidcricket.bsky.social's excellent and ✨orange bannered✨ UNDER FORTUNATE STARS is on sale for 99c! Get yours now and preorder the sequel, AN UNBREAKABLE WORLD!

This has been absolutely worth the wait from @inkstonebooks.bsky.social I really enjoyed the first book in The Kindom Trilogy. And it’s awesome that book 3 is slated for December. #BookSky #BookMail @dr-bethany-jacobs.bsky.social

Currently in a circle of hell called Verizon chat support.

One thing you can do Right Now is be extremely vocal when you have librarians stocking inclusive collections. Call and tell them how happy you are, show up to board meetings. Bc the other side is *always* complaining and doing it in an organized way. also you can donate to Lavonnia Moore here:

You may not be aware but my books are full of murderous queers. Pick one up on this last day of Pride Month! share.google/3L4dvNg9hRDr... @orbitbooks.bsky.social @awfulagent.bsky.social

I'm not going to lie, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab fucked me up. The last act is haunting me.

Overall a very shitty day interspersed with not completely shitty things.

OP is right. Tell authors when you love their work. It may be the thing that keeps them writing. Thank you @archnemesisg.bsky.social!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Olfat. Olfat is 51 year old the mother of five grown children who she doesn’t want to have to help take care of her and her husband so she’s made this fundraiser for herself. She suffers from chronic heart disease and needs medication.

The joy in my heart!

The best part of publishing continues to be this.

THESE BURNING STARS (Kindom Trilogy #1) is now available in French from J'ai Lu. It won the 2024 Philip K. Dick Award and was highlighted by Kirkus as a best debut and best science fiction novel of 2023. Check it out!

Look at this beautiful book!!

I'm thrilled to share that I was recently a guest on the French podcast C'est plus que de la SF with Lloyd Chéry. This was such a fun experience! If you speak French, or want to hear me answer French questions in English, check it out! @awfulagent.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social

My first French review!

Fiscal conservatives: Tell that whiny Omelas kid to get up and start a closet building business instead of waiting for someone to fix his problems. What a pussy.

I started @emilytesh.net's The Incandescent yesterday and I am already SO delighted by it!

I’ve donated signed copies of These Burning Stars and On Vicious Worlds to the Locus fundraiser. Want to snag it and support a great organization at the same time? Click here to check it out: igg.me/at/locusmag2... @locusmag.bsky.social @awfulagent.bsky.social @orbitbooks.bsky.social

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable

Hell yes @rebeccafraimow.bsky.social nominated for BEST FIRST NOVEL!!!

I'm really thrilled to share the beautiful cover art for Le Jour Du Souvenir, the French publication of These Burning Stars from J'ai Lu. This first installment of La Constellation Des Ombres, translated by Patrick Dechesne, comes out on May 14th. I cannot wait to get my hands on this!

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Kazem. Kazem is 25 years old and is helping his whole family. Before the war his father ran a clothing company it and their home have been destroyed. He is helping his brothers Ahmed and Abdul and his sisters Khwala and Sarah (who is only 10)

It's that time of year! Barnes & Noble is doing it's preorder sale. With books getting more and more expensive, this is a great opportunity to get THIS BRUTAL MOON for a steal! I'm really excited for the conclusion of the KINDOM TRILOGY! @orbitbooks.bsky.social @awfulagent.bsky.social

Wife and I saw Sinners yesterday. It was truly extraordinary. Terrifying, beautiful, resonant--and funny! I immediately bought the soundtrack. Seriously, everyone should see it.
