realised I was just reskying them all and should quote. Happy Pride #booksky edition!

I *LOVE* libraries! Did you get my book from the library? That’s awesome, because I also love getting books from libraries! I can read far more books thanks to my local library than I ever could if I had to individually buy them all. Libraries are great and no one will ever convince me otherwise.

got a lovely review in Locus of my @apexmag.bsky.social story "Unsettled Nature."

Very much looking forward to reading this lovely new book from the excellent @rentravailer.bsky.social — I loved her award-winning book Courting India

Extremely delighted to say LONG LIVE EVIL has been chosen as a Top Read and is now in a Kindle Deal going for 1.99 for a limited run beginning today! Please shove evil upon your loved ones, so you can fall in the chaos pit together. www.amazon.com/Long-Live-Ev... #booksky

Today is another good day to donate to the Good Law project:

This week's Wednesday snippet comes from my fantasy rom-com Enchanting the Fae Queen, which is out in ebook, paper, and audiobook now: stephanieburgis.com/books/enchanting-the-fae-queen #romancelandia

Don't give up on your dreams. If you wish to haunt tiny coastal towns as a tentacled monstrosity that hides in the fog and drives some folks to madness, I know you can do it. I believe in you.

Vets advise ban on over the counter flea treatment for pets Basically, don't use these things unless advised to by a vet. They are toxic.

This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

The AG is wrong. Protect libraries as the public good that they are. Licensing to libraries is already onerous for the libraries. Libraries are no enemy here.

All of this. I will *always* stand with libraries.

Awful and important. Thinking of all of my friends and readers in this area. 🫂

Any premade cover sales this week will go toward buying thank-you takeout for my neighbour who is driving me to my specialist appointment on Thursday. If you need a cover, we need Mary Brown's taters!

Uhm...

As requested, here are day old ducklings jumping off a ledge onto a lake set to "Ride of The Valkyries" 🐣 🪶

Look at this magnificent creature (and tagging some of my dragon lover friends @stephanieburgis.bsky.social and @aliettedebodard.com )

I finally have a full rainbow of rhinestones (more difficult to acquire than expected) so I've started making sparkly little Pride dragons! 🧶 🏳️‍🌈 🐉

In excellent (and financially dangerous) news, there is now a really good brunch café in my town. ...No regrets. ;) #TinyJoys

I'm bored in a cab so indulge me: if a central fund existed, administered by a reputable org, that distributed general operational support $ annually to SFF mags and such to keep them from flaming out or having to fundraise with limited bandwidth/discoverability, would you contribute to it?

Incredibly, three weeks today EVERYBODY'S PERFECT (my first new novel since 2020) will be released! Gorgeous cover by Caroline Jamhour

N. K. Jemisin's Grand Master speech this weekend at the @sfwa.bsky.social Nebula Conference was one for the ages. My new Genre Grapevine covers the speech by @nkjemisin.bsky.social along with the also-amazing speech Ryka Aoki @rykaaoki.bsky.social gave for the Nebula's 1st award for Best Poetry. 1/

Gosh, how very hard for Streeting, the man who made this horrific decision, rather than for all the trans kids and their families who've suffered (not to mention the terrifyingly increased number of trans teen suicides) as a result of it... Somehow, my sympathy doesn't flow in *his* direction.
