Had a wonderful Eastercon, thank you to everyone who came to panels etc! Highlight was the crepe van. I am trying to figure out if I can get to Glasgow next year so hope to see some of you there.

Reading from my new book in Salisbury-Wellington in half an hour #eastercon

Why is it, when you try to do basic plumbing, everything you TOUCH disturbs something else which then starts dripping for its own mysterious reasons

All those NEW FICTION BY KAI ASHANTE WILSON summoning circles are finally paying off!!!

COVER REVEAL: Call Me Traitor, my sapphic Winter Soldier-esque fantasy! Beyond delighted with this stunning @eliotbaum.bsky.social art with design by Jess Kiley. Preorders gratefully welcomed if it’s your thing! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Cat is out of the bag! Tor declined my suggestion to include in the blurb "sapphic Winter Soldier, but wizards"; however this is in fact the only accurate way to describe this book torpublishinggroup.com/call-me-trai...

I realised this year that I haven’t actually owned a comfortable chair for reading since I was a teenager and maybe this needs fixing.

Patreon is currenlty a large income source as I try to get this whole "writing regularly" thing off the ground (had mental health crisis in family, now slowly digging myself out. With my fingernails hahhaha sob)

Had a great time at Novacon, including seeing @emilytesh.net on the @octothorpecast.bsky.social liveshow! Renewed (and correct) push to get everyone to read Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson.

Finally reading The Spear Cuts Through Water and holy shit this deserves every award it got. What a book!

It’s -4C and the garden centre said “even a novice can’t kill these plants” back in the halcyon days of October, but we’re really testing that now.

Authors in the UK! The govt is consulting on GenAI and copyright law. Its proposed model (everything free to train on unless the creator can prove on the work they forbid it - no provision for piracy, DRM cracks etc) is not great. Maybe tell them? ipoconsultations.citizenspace.com/ipo/consulta...

A reminder I have this sapphic investigation, inspired by xianxia. Disaster queers must navigate politics, catch an eldritch space monster, and worst of all: learn to work together without killing each other...

Belatedly hi everyone, I fixed my newsletter but I still intend to migrate it once I’m off deadline, so I’m sure I will find new and exciting ways to break it. Buttondown support is super helpful though.

I just feel if it’s this cold at least there should be some snow for my troubles* *(toes declaring independence from the body corporate)

Hi everyone, my newsletter's welcome message appears to be broken, sorry about that. I'm going to move to Buttondown when I next have an announcement (for a few reasons) but am on deadline so can't migrate right now. Email registration should still work so you will receive news when there is any!

Afternoon repost!

Joined! Thank you to C. for the invite.
