All set up for @ravencon.bsky.social

It’s no secret that Dragon Con has become the best pop culture convention in the galaxy. We couldn’t do it without the support of our amazing volunteer community. That’s why we’ve introduced “Dragon Con University” college scholarship program for our 5+ year volunteers & their legal dependents.

Review for 2026 #16 Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite, Blair Baker (Narrator) missingvolume.livejournal.com/559353.html #bookreview

This quote is literal nightmare fuel. I may splurge and get some copies of @seananmcguire.bsky.social's Kingdom of Needle and Bone, where the first part *did* cause me nightmares.

Speaing of book deals, Keri Arthur has some in her direct shop--let me tell you about them! 🧵 The first Lizzie Grace novel (series now complete) is FREE. This is UF with a slow-burn romantic thread set in a contemp alt-Australia about a witch and her best friend who've been on the run for a decade.

All set up and selling books at @jordanconinc.bsky.social

I have nominated for the Hugo and Locus awards! A brief 11th hour reminder that THE FOLDED SKY is eligible in Best Novel and Best Series, if you enjoyed it and are so moved.

Also, the excellent BBC series!

Hugo nominations close this weekend! I am once again swallowing my personal flinch response at self-promotion* to ask that you please, please consider the October Daye books for Best Series.

I don’t know much but I know this: ginger ale on an airplane is like water in the desert, if you cut a grilled cheese diagonally it turns into more grilled cheese, a thunderstorm is just mother nature’s reminder to finish reading your book, and you are NEVER too old to be stoked about a cool rock
