Day 14 #NovellaNovember #Novellavember. Treble Swift and the Solar Symphony by Jim Beard. Fun space opera. In a future where the solar system is split between the SolTerran Union and the United-Outer Planets, pilot Treble Swift discovers a plot by SolTer to break the detente and attack the UOP.

Another author everyone should 100% read. Saint Death's Daughter and Saint Death's Herald are two of my all time favorite books. #booksky 📚💙

Check out this deal! I can personally recommend the books by @csecooney.bsky.social, Taran Hunt, @premeemohamed.com, and @isabelcanas.bsky.social as excellent stories.

ICYMI! Reading 2025 fiction? Try the short story "Infinite Halves" by J.L. Akagi @jlakagi.bsky.social! You can read it here! buff.ly/6FsWf1x

Belated Day 12 of #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember is Will Ludwigen's brilliant A Scout Is Brave, one of my favorite books of 2024, and my second favorite Ludwigsen book (Acres of Perhaps still edges it out.

Did you like Evangelion but wish it was queerer? Then I've got a book for you! The Cosmic Color by T.T. Madden — neon hemlock share.google/IUZZDSYL8a4Y...

Posting again (to try to add Alt Text to the photos): My friends at Stamza Books in Beacon NY have set up a #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember display, partially curated by me. If you're in the Beacon area, stop in to Stanza, say hi, and tell them I sent you!

Day 11 #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember: The Primrose Path by Bram Stoker. Posting about Stoker's birthday a few days ago reminded me that I've fallen off of one of my ongoing reading projects, which is to own and read everything Stoker wrote. So I brought this novella on this week's business trip.

HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to the absolutely BEAUTIFUL No One To Hold the Distant Dead by @klschroeder.bsky.social!!!! download instantly OR get a print copy and it ships next week 🖤 psychopomp.com/product/no-o...

Day 10 of #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember. Don't Sleep With the Dead is a sequel to @nghivowriting 's The Chosen and the Beautiful, which was a fantasy retelling of the Great Gatsby. Don't Sleep With the Dead takes place years after the novel's ending, showing us what became of Nick Carraway.

Day 9 (belatedly) of #NovellaNovember / #novellavember looks at "Roadside Assistance" by @jeffreyricker.bsky.social from the anthology Three Left Turns To Nowhere. This is a shared world anthology of three novellas that all take place in the same remote Canadian town.

Missed yesterday's #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember post due to a long travel day (part of which was a long hangout with friends, so not all bad). Will probably do two posts tonight.

One of my favorite series. Jim's Sgt. Janus books (occult detective) are Also really excellent.

Day 8 of #NovellaNovember was a re-listen of @nathanburgoine.bsky.social 's In Memoriam, read by @jwden.bsky.social. This will not be the last 'Nathan Burgoine novella I talk about this month. He's another of my "auto-buy" authors and very much the reason I read romance now.

Happy Birthday, Bram Stoker! I only have a fan fiction tribute short story to celebrate the occasion. I wrote this five years ago for #WorldDraculaDay, and sure, that falls on May 26th, I hope nobody will mind too much. :D gaborcsigas.medium.com/the-fear-und... (via @authorlevai.bsky.social)

In this newsletter, I talk about other things about the INCREDIBLE Kickstarter for @siennatristen.bsky.social 's Orchestrated Audiobook for HERETIC'S GUIDE TO HOMECOMING. To the KS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sie... This is where I gush about it: XD (scroll down) buttondown.com/ClaudieArsen...

We've done it!! The Trans People Take the World bundle crossed $2000! Everyone has really shown up for this. 🌈📚 I have BAKER THIEF in this, and it stands alongside some truly great works. Go check it out! itch.io/b/3352/trans...

Happy Bram Stoker Day! The author of Dracula was born today in 1847. I have a goal to someday own and have read everything he wrote. I have most of his novels. Between various collections and printouts I have almost all of the short stories and short non-fiction attributed to him.

For Day 7 of #NovellaNovember / #Novellavember, I decided to re-listen to Stephen Fry read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. There are arguments as to whether Baskervilles is a novella or a short novel, but as I've said previously, I'm fine with the line being a little blurry.

If you wrote an SF/F/H story that was published in 2025 (or read a story that you thought was great), tell me about it in this thread! Authors, also send your story to me here: johnjosephadams.com/basff-submis... (Please read the guidelines before submitting.)

So I thought I was creative coming up with #NovellaNovember and commissioning @artistkeith.bsky.social to create a logo ... and now thanks to @clh2oars.bsky.social I see there's a #Novellavember hash tag and the posts I see indicate maybe this is a thing other people have been doing for a while?

I keep saying I'm going to get these #NovellaNovember posts up earlier in the day and then real life happens.

For Day 6 of #NovellaNovember, I'm reshaping my review of @leemandelo.bsky.social 's thought-provoking science fiction novella Feed Them Silence. Lee Mandelo has become an "auto-buy' author (those I pre-order automatically without reading book description). www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2023/3/...

Song of Spores is launching TODAY, read the many fun quotes from the book in this thread and enjoy! The preorders link is already down, you can buy here - From publisher: www.brokeneyebooks.com/catalog/p/so... Amzn US: amzn.to/3LkmdJC Bookshop: bookshop.org/a/14302/9781... (associate links)

My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle! A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up! Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆 amzn.to/47ES674 (Associate link)

For day 5 of #NovellaNovember, I decided to scroll back to my 2017 review of the first two books in Neon Yang's wonderful Tensorate series, which is now 4 books long and available both individually and in a collected omnibus. www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2017/12...

Today over on the blog I chat with @christaqua.bsky.social about How To Fake A Haunting, her writing process, editing anthologies, and more. www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2025/11...

For Day 4 of #NovellaNovember, let's talk about Randy Duncan's "Kade & Karger: Big Trouble for Lil' Easy." Word count wise, this is probably closer to novelette than novella, but I'm not being super strict about the line between the two (or between novella and short novel).

For day two of #NovellaNovember, I re-listened to the full cast audiobook of Elizabeth Hand's 'folk horror via VH1's Behind The Scenes' classic WYLDING HALL, which I have re-read or re-listened to every year around Halloween since I first discovered it in 2019.

It's #NovellaNovember! I may not manage to read actually read a novella every day this month, but we'll see. Today I read "Seas and Shores," the bonus novella in @seananmcguire.bsky.social 's latest October Daye release (Silver and Lead). I'll try to avoid spoilers because its so recent.

Happy Halloween / Samhain / All Hallows Eve / etc. I figured today would be a good day to do a search for all of the book or movie reviews or other posts give tagged with the word "horror" on my website. www.anthonycardno.com/search?q=Hor...

Every time I hear someone—most of the time a well-meaning someone—say, "I don’t believe in writer’s block," I lean hard into the "well-meaning" part, but as someone who does, absolutely, run into what most of us mean by "writer’s block" on the regular, it can be hard not to just flip the bird.

📌 Hi, I'm a bilingual aroace author of queer fantasy centering platonic relationships! Below is an overview of my main series. You can find general links as well as any ongoing events here: claudiearseneault.com/welcome/ Below are links directly to these three books though!

Oh yes, let's do!

Let's celebrate the art of the Novella in November! #NovellaNovember www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2025/10...

If you've been paying attention, you know that @bethcato.bsky.social has become one of ny favorite authors. Im so happy I finally got to sit down and chat (virtually, via email) with her about her latest books, her process, and cheese.

Hello, spooky season! Pub day for The Cold House: 7 October, a respectable stop on the way to Halloween. Pre-order physical manifestation, ebook and/or audiobook titanbooks.com/72446-the-co... Oz, we get a paperback first (lend this one with glee), then hardcover later (don't lend).

As proofreader for @lightspeedmagazine.com I get a sneak peak at what's coming up next month. You really don't want to miss @mcflycahill90.bsky.social 's "At the Bottom of the Bonfire." Heartbreaking and thought-provoking and beautifully crafted and disturbing.

I started a little project 2 weeks ago as a way to celebrate turning 60 next year: read 1 book published in, and watch 1 movie first released in, each year since I was born. I'm allowing myself a mix of rereads/rewatches and stuff I've never seen or read before.

Oh yes I will be writing an essay about how the SNW episode “Four and a Half Vulcans” is wildly offensive and normalizing race science that was mainstream and popular in United States in the 1850s Like Disco called this shit terrorism What the fuck is this regressive bullshit

Proof I'm not the same person I was 6 months ago: I'm actually annoyed that my hotel only has 1 working treadmill and it's occupied. (Yes, I could get on the Peleton bike, but I'm not a cycler, I'm a walker.)

My colon cancer diagnosis was 20 years ago today, which means I'm almost 20 years cancer-free. That time has flown by. But today always makes me think of the loved ones who had the same cancer I did, and didn't survive it. I kiss my cousin Frank and my friend Jay every day.

Apparently today is National Read A Book Day. Or as we call it in my house, A Day Ending In Y.

I'LL BE THERE! The Ivy Bookshop, Back Patio 5928 Falls Road, Baltimore, MD Sat, Sep 6 6:30-8:30 pm www.theivybookshop.com/event/charm-... About STORYTELLER: “Packed with diversity, supercharged with emotional & philosophical revelation, & full of surprises & power..." -- Midwest Review of Books.

Very excited that over the weekend, my copy of Negocios Infernales, the GM-less, dice-less TTRPG created by @csecooney.bsky.social and Carlos Hernandez, arrived. Haven't had time to take everything out of the box never mind play it, but it's here!

Today on the blog, I chat with author @craigmmcdonald.bsky.social about his Doc Savage-inspired Zana O'Savin novels, his Hector Lassiter historical mystery series, and his writing process. www.anthonycardno.com/blog/2025/8/...
