In 20 min I’ll be talking about GALLOWAYS GOSPEL with author Sam Rebelein! Twitch.tv/mightymur

It can’t be true if we hide it from you.

Attention- I have reached a new level of nerd: my phone autocorrected “krobus.”

Six Wakes by @mightymur.bsky.social is the hands down best SFF mystery I've ever read. S-Tier book.

Live now on Twitch - Ditch Diggers returns with @tkingfisher.com ! Twitch.tv/mightymur

KAOS

It’s too early in the con for sad photos but I had to get one with sad apple.

Going to my first @armadillocon.bsky.social this week!

New cover quote! “…an unexpectedly furry book.”

A final ICYMI for the weekend crowd of the latest episode of Eating the Fantastic with my guest @mightymur.bsky.social. Eavesdrop as she explains what keeps her continuing to podcast after 21 years, the importance of shrugging off rejections — and much more. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Join me and Valerie today on Twitch! Romcoms, pen names, and more! Twitch.tv/mightymur 2pm EDT

For those who like knowing how Eating the Fantastic's podcast sausage is made — editing Friday's chat with @mightymur.bsky.social to remove the extraneous required 910 snips, deleting 21 minutes and 10 seconds of raw audio. I hope you'll subscribe now to join us at the table! pod.link/1083737796

Well I have reached a new level in my career. I picked up a book because it looked interesting…. I mean I AM right that it looks interesting. I just don’t have a good memory…

My luggage is in Cancun. Trying hard to resist going to my hotels front desk and saying “hey I hear you got the good stuff” and then ask for a toothbrush

I’ve arrived at the Sheraton. Right when my table talk was supposed to start. Trying hard guys, honest

Attempt #1 of worldcon travel - fail. Storms in Chicago foiled us. Had to go back home. Attempt #2, 4am, we try again. I have a noon table talk. I’ll do my best to get there. Whether I’ll be alert or not is another story. #worldcon

New book review: Mur Lafferty's "Infinite Archive", just released on 07/01! "This book is so much fun.” @penguinbooksusa.bsky.social @mightymur.bsky.social @netgalley.bsky.social #ubergroup #sciencefiction #bookreview newbooks.substack.com/p/infinite-a...

Dear Publicists, I know everything in publishing is razors and lemons. I know you probably have a gazillion books to promote. But please don’t use LLMs (ChatGPT etc). Your pitch letters read like carefully researched sixth grade book reports.

Libraries rock. If you’re worried that you’re not supporting an author by getting books from the library instead of buying them, fear not. We love institutions that foster a love of reading. And the more you tell a library that you want an book, they are more likely to stock multiple copies!

I haven’t been on a podcast this fun in a long time. Check out my interview with the Failing Writers Podcast! www.failingwriterspodcast.com/episodes/epi...

I had the honor of writing the 1,000th story to be featured on @escapepod.org I remember the very first episode of Escape Pod going live almost 20 years ago. We’ve both come a long way, and we’re both still here. My thanks to @mightymur.bsky.social @valerievaldes.bsky.social @escapeartists.net

Thanks to everyone for spreading the word about my new book. I’m quite humbled.

Funny you should bring that up.

Wanna know who else is back? Tina. Only now she’s a queen.

Good lord, this is happening tomorrow.

Very excited to have @mightymur.bsky.social coming by the store on August 6th to chat about Infinite Archive! www.eventbrite.com/e/1434589258...

Alexandra Pierce reviews INFINITE ARCHIVE by @mightymur (@mightymur.bsky.social): "Lafferty has once again done a superb job in writing a murder mystery in space." locusmag.com/2025/05...

This week we join the mighty Mur Lafferty, to help us face our demons. You know, those noisy, pesky, doubt-engineers that want dominion over our creative endeavours. It’s truth sharing time. And sometimes the truth hurts! Link’s in the bio. @mightymur.bsky.social

I’m on a train! Look out Baltimore! I’ll be at Omnihedral tomorrow for Independent Bookstore Day. The store is in savage mill.

Last repost is important because Valerie is brilliant. I’ll be like “blah blah blah run around the maypole and maybe get to a point” on my livestream and in chat Valerie will rephrase it in one sentence SO MUCH BETTER. Any student of hers is lucky. Go apply!

We are ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to welcome @byzantienne.bsky.social and @valerievaldes.bsky.social -- both Viable Paradise grads and both amazing -- to the workshop faculty for 2025! viableparadise.com/viable-parad... Applications are open through May 15.

Your innie stays to the end of the baseball game even if their team is losing badly.

I have been informed it’s raining tacos. Not hotdogs. Adjust your expectations appropriately.

We lost the momentum.

Scranton just had a mound meeting where they no doubt were talking birthday presents. The ump came to join them to make sure they were getting free shipping.

First run of the game! Go Kenny Piper! It was a home run. (With no one on base.) But still, we are on the board! We have momentum! 1-8.

The game has gone from no hitter to no no hitter to bloodbath. 0-8. They have gotten four runs this inning and we have one out. Top of 5th. The loudspeaking is playing music for the yoots, which made me aware of the song “it’s raining hotdogs.” Send help.

I did get to see a home run go farther than ever- to the little balcony on the second floor of this building. (See the orange chairs) Sadly it was a Scranton home run… 0-4

Ok THERE goes the no hitter. 0-4 Scranton. Bottom of 3rd.

We talked about the no-hitter Scranton has going. We talked about it at length. And yet they still have it going. It’s almost as if the “don’t mention the no hitter” rule is based on superstition and not fact…

TIL that day games at the Durham bulls are unexpectedly packed because of corporate and school outings. (0-1 Scranton, top of 1st) The movie led me to believe very few people except old folks and Susan Sarandon show up.

I was sad that the bat boy delivering new baseballs to the ump didn’t get as much applause as the dog. Stepdad pointed out it’s a low bar for bat boys.

Whoops bad dog is Champ.

First Bulls game of the season for me. We have a new bat dog, Chase (RIP Ripken) and he is new goodest boy.

HANG ON A DAMN MINUTE. Did Sade think Chicago was on the East Coast???

Emotional support cached US Kindle giveaway: 10 copies of @mightymur.bsky.social's The Shambling Guide to New York City (The Shambling Guides Book 1), which I *have* but *haven't read*. I assume it's great because of the author. #KindleBookGiveaway
