Kick off 2026 by starting a stellar new SciFi series! :) The Quantum Evolution series and Venus Ascendant series are among great company!

My thoughts on the current discussions in the SF/F genre over writers using generative AI (LLMs). In particular, I love the essays shared by @chuckwendig.bsky.social and @fozmeadows.bsky.social. 1/ www.patreon.com/posts/147102...

I started watching the 1960s B&W show The Avengers. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to approach it. How ironic or earnest is it? I assume it's part of the fun 60s Bond-inspired spy stories. And what's the deal with Peel and Steed? Are they FWB or should I be shipping them?

Yes $5 is an end of year donation that can make a difference to your favorite organization.

#Canadian #scifi and #fantasy #writers! This call is still open. If you had short fiction published in 2025, send it to Stephen - it will be considered for his Year's Best Canadian Fantasy & Science Fiction Volume Four

It's worth repeating Evan's point: the crusades *failed* on multiple levels

Hey Black spec fic authors! This includes indie/self-pub and KDP.

Jesus. I'm catching up with all the stupid in @sfwa.org's walking-into-a-rake take on acceptable AI usage and Nebula award eligibility. I agree with pretty much everything in Chuck Wendig's post and did the SFWA survey. If you're a writer, just be a writer. Don't outsource any part of art.

Black people can. Too often we see White people loving animals and hating us.

nice. that's not at all the view in canada now, but i remember....

Cottage in English and chalet in French. Cabin sometimes, but it's a step down - we had two cabins over the years, but both had outhouses. Lake house sounds like something in a movie.

This novella was a key piece of world-building I ended up using as the axis (no pun intended) around which The Quantum Magician revolved. Get a signed copy on sale now!

A bunch of amazing complete #scifi and #fantasy series! My contribution is a 2-book scifi family saga set in the clouds of Venus - The House of Styx and The House of Saints.

there is a genre of person who hates AI in *their* field but sees how it could be useful in *other,* less prestigious, fields; ignore them. they are not trying to save the ship. they are just racing you to the lifeboats

@relativelygeeky.bsky.social Cool episode #233! Weird issue. It's a pity the Atomic Knights never seemed to come into focus. It's a hard premise to pull off.

The novella Pollen from a Future Harvest is part of the Quantum Evolution universe. This is a great xmas deal if you love #scifi!

A very short awards eligibility post: This year, I edited an anthology of Black Canadian SFF, "As The Earth Dreams." I'm honored to champion these writers! Also, all of the stories in the collection are so amazing and diverse! Please consider them for awards, too! houseofanansi.com/products/as-...

And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

And also received is the fabulous looking Pollen by @derekkunsken.bsky.social #booksky #scifi

Yes hello if you would enjoy reading a story about a female version of James Bond taking on a Lovecraftian death cult in 19th century London then you might like my most recent book, 'Easter Pinkerton and the Case of the Heretic Blood'. ... there's also a sword cane. books2read.com/u/ba6P0q

Oh wow. Mass market paperbacks were 95% of the fiction books I read from age 12 to age 35. Great format. Affordable. Disposable. I can understand why ebooks would replace them but I'll raise a toast to the format.

I still love this pic - This was the littlest autograph-getter at my second book launch in Chengdu, China in 2018. Being young, she understood English well, including my panicked "Write in pinyin! Write in pinyin!" when she was writing her name for me to address the autograph to....

My feelings have not changed.

Do we "diffuse tensions" or "defuse tensions"? I can see both working, but only one should be correct.

When does Bladerunner start to get more... gripping? #firstwatch

Cool news. @jayodjick.bsky.social talks about the news that indigenous stories and literature will become a mandatory part of the Quebec school curriculum. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Amazing! And I agree wholeheartedly with the need for celebration. 2025 was a lot. And we got a lot done, in addition to surviving. I delivered a draft of a novel to my editor, around a toddler schedule.

Godzilla, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot stomp on, courage to shoot them with atomic breath, and wisdom to do a big roar afterwards

Wow. Entirely new meaning of Rick rolling... music.youtube.com/watch?v=C5oe...

Wow. This seems to be a great policy to support women in the workplace. I saw in the comments that Kenya does this too? youtube.com/post/UgkxEga...

I very much appreciate Cookie Monster's damn-the-torpedoes commitment to his passions. music.youtube.com/watch?v=wyE_...

Same. Never used it.

Good grief. I only knew that he'd cut Rosalind Franklin out of credit for the discovery of DNA. I had no idea Watson was so multi-dimensionally horrible.
