review: Set against violence & subjugation are shining moments of kindness & gentleness ... whether they negate darker acts or willing complicity is a whole other question. One the characters wrestle with, as will the reader fantasyliterature.com/reviews/the-... @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social

Alyssa's art on this series is spectacular and just about every reader I talk to mentions the covers. I'm so grateful my words got paired with these stunning images.

I ordered my copy today. This series has made me think about new ways novellas live within storytelling. I love the first two and hope @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social has an amazing release day.

Woohoo! Happy Book Release Day to... THE MEMORY OF THE OGISI by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social !🎉 This conclusion to The Forever Desert Series is 😘 You'll want to immediately re-read the series after finishing. 🪐📚💙

The world is on fire along multiple vectors, yes, and I am keeping my eye on that, as well as working hard (writing) and living my ordinary life, and meanwhile, my latest novel released this week, which I'm incredibly excited about. It's like a constant state of whiplash.

The Forever Desert Readalong officially starts today! Grab your copies and join the fun! #FDReadalong

I'm so happy to be nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Editor, Long Form! It's an honor to be recognized by the Hugo voters, and to fulfill a dream I've nurtured since my first Worldcon.

Thank you most of all to my authors! In 2024 that was, @jedediahberry.bsky.social, @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social (congratulations on the Astounding nom!) @maxgladstone.bsky.social, @vajra.me, @leemandelo.bsky.social, and @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social (co-edited w/ @mattrusin.bsky.social)

Just finished The Lies of the Ajungo by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social!! This had been on my tbr I think since the release in 2023. SO I absolutely squealed when I saw it at the library today. I absolutely loved this story! "an untongued people cannot tell their story. But neither can the dead." DAMN!

Today is release day for this lil book o' mine. Children of Useyi is the conclusion to my YA epic fantasy duology, and it's a bittersweet feeling to say goodbye to these characters. But I'm grateful I got to share their story with the world and enjoy the support of so many readers.

Some random musing on my reading influencing the characters I make for #pathfinder2e I read a book called The Lies of the Ajungo by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social and thus was born Heron Ajungo. Heron is a Shisk spellshot gunslinger I played in a Dark Archives game.

Got to spend an hour raving about one of my favorite characters in fiction--Satoru Gojo.

Today on OWWR Pod it's a #TVTuesday with @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social! We are diving into Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1, anime, and how awesome Gojo is! #JujutsuKaisen #Anime open.spotify.com/episode/3QTz...

The Memory of the Ogisi by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social is up on Netgalley and I’m praying to all the book gods that I can get it in my hands… such an unforgettable novella series 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Afternoon! Reading The Lies of the Ajungo a very cool fantasy novella by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social

GdM issue 41 is out now with another MASSIVE line up! Featuring @scottlynch78.bsky.social @justinleeanderson.com @andreagstewart.bsky.social @kaaronwarren.bsky.social @richardswanauthor.bsky.social @edmcdonald.bsky.social @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social @joshrountree.bsky.social Link in comments!

@mosesoseutomi.bsky.social I love The Lies of the Ajungo series and need more folks to yell about it with!

Needed to take a drafting break so: Arcane characters meet book recs. If you like Silco then read THE TRUTH OF THE ALEKE from @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social Why? -Characters that will do anything to gain power -A smooth talking leader of the oppressed is in here -Young minds are getting manipulated

Submissions for our issue that @premeemohamed.com and Chimedum Ohaegbu are editing are now open! They’re interested in original and reprint flash fiction and original poetry. Full details are on our submission page! smallwondersmag.com/submissions/

We won! Congrats to all the Ignyte Awards finalists and winners! And thank you so much to the Ignyte Awards team for spotlighting so many incredible authors.

Continue to support BIPOC authors in SFF. One bad actor is not representative of the whole. We still need the support, even in the exact ways that have been hijacked for personal enrichment. So go follow, read & support writers of African descent & from the Global South; not just one, but many.

Almost every time I describe the premise of my books, the person responds "where did you even get that idea?" and I can't tell if they think I'm original or disturbed.

Wrong Answers Only: What's the title of the last book in The Forever Desert trilogy?

Just a few quick clips from the ComicCon weekend. Got to see so many incredible folks like @jennlyons.bsky.social and Terry kill it on their panels. @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social and @angeline.bsky.social I forgot to snag pics with but it’s because we were having too much fun. Oh and DUNE! 😍

The Lies of the Ajungo is an Ignyte Award finalist! Congrats to all my fellow nominees!

Very much looking forward to this panel. Been behaving like a villain all month to get into the mindset.

Just finished @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social 's The Truth of the Aleke. This is a fascinating, often brutal, series, and one I think every epic fantasy fan should read. Looking forward to seeing what comes next in book 3.

“There’s something very pleasurable, and sometimes even haunting, when such things line up between books.” @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social chats to @trackofwords.bsky.social about his novella The Truth of the Aleke – which is out now from Tordotcom || www.grimdarkmagazine.com/an-interview...

50th anniversary fete at Changing Hands bookstore — live music, cookies, crafts and coupons! (Oh, and I scored a free reading Rx pads.) The cashier told me “The Lies of the Ajungo” by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social is the most beautiful fantasy writing he’s ever read, so I’m excited to inhale that one!

Here are Ellen's and my photos from this month's Fantastic Fiction at KGB, with guests Richard Butner & Moses Ose Utomi. Great readings to a packed house! @datlow.bsky.social @richardbutner.com @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social www.kgbfantasticfiction.org/2024/03/23/p...

I binge-read these two novellas by @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social over the weekend and there were so good. On one hand I wish they were each 700 pages long but on the other they’re the proof that you can tell a story well in under 100 pages. Hoping for a translation into German now soon. #booksky #buch

Today, I become a father of three (books). So grateful to everyone who helped me bring this book to the world, and I can't wait for readers to go on this journey. If you liked The Lies of the Ajungo, get ready for more. Happy book birthday to The Truth of the Aleke!

Can't wait! Also, expect A Necessary Chaos to come up as well. No way we talk for an hour without discussing Brent's brilliant novella.

If you are in the area tomorrow night, I will be at Mysterious Galaxy talking to @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social about his late stay novella, THE TRUTH OF THE ALEKE. I can’t wait because I have *questions* 😍

In less than two weeks, I get to talk with @mosesoseutomi.bsky.social about his new novella, THE TRUTH OF THE ALEKE and it broke about every expectation I had of what the sequel to THE LIES OF THE AJUNGO was going to look like.
