ALERT TO MY BRITISH FRIENDS: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE RIVERS OF LONDON SERIES THERE IS A DEAL RIGHT NOW TO GET ALL THE NOVELS AND NOVELLAS FOR THIRTY POUNDS RUN DON'T WALK

If you burn down a forest, you don't miss out on lumber for just that season. You have to replant all the trees, nurture them, and wait for them to grow. The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.

Raise the mainsail and weigh anchor, ye scurvy dogs! Rising Tides sets sail at the third bell of the morrow! www.kickstarter.com/projects/133...

Woo - new Fox & Willow story ahoy!

Civil service is good, folks.

No one in their right mind would ask me to write a pirate story, right? Wrong! @alanajoli.bsky.social and the folks at @outlandent.bsky.social did — and I had such a blast writing it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/133...

Nice note from Robert J. Sawyer about the official presence of the Tibetan Science Fiction Society at WorldCon last year, and how it makes the whole Hugo controversy look more ridiculous. #HugoCensorship www.patreon.com/posts/offici...

Hey Simon and Schuster authors, if you got that author survey recently, there's a question in there about your thoughts on AI in publishing so, uh, fill it out.

We're talking about this, right? "Mr. Malaviya’s primary goal is growth. ... Mr. Malaviya said that, hopefully, A.I. will help, making it easier to publish more titles without hiring ever more employees." www.nytimes.com/2024/01/30/b...
