Had the immense privilege of listening to readings by the extraordinary Stephen Graham Jones and Tananarive Due at the Locus Awards last night! @locusmag.bsky.social @tananarivedue.bsky.social @stephengrahamjones.com #reading #writing #booksky #sff

Being part of the fiction jury for the Pulitzer Prize means you read A LOT of books. Inevitably, there’s more excellent work than you can count. Since the prize has been announced, I’m recommending five other books that I read and loved during the process. Read ‘em all!

Hi, I thought I’d begin my comeback to Bluesky with a picture of a good girl, Carmella.

Editing begins….

Then, for 2026, we can look forward to a new collection from one of the modern masters of the short story, The Passing of the Dragon and Other Stories. While you wait, follow Ken for updates @kenliu.author on IG, here on Bluesky (@kyliu99.bsky.social) or his website, kenliu.name/about/

We’ve acquired 3 new novels, starting with the thriller All That We See or Seem, set to drop in Oct. '25. Exploring the future of art in a world of AI-driven loneliness, this book will be the first in a trilogy of near-future thrillers exploring the shadowy world of international crime and hackers.

Ken Liu (@kyliu99.bsky.social), the award-winning and bestselling author of The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories and The Grace of Kings is ramping up for what we’re calling the Year of Ken Liu in 2025! (More on what we’re celebrating in the new year!)

These roses lasted to December, then the frost came. Until next year….

19.96 lbs is ready!

Maybe a first post is a good time to debut Carmella, our rescue tripod of a ratcha. She’s smart, so we’re been in training for the past eleven months.
