@tkingfisher.com we met at DragonCon when we were on a panel together. Would you be willing to do an interview with me for my blog at slipperywords.com? Please? You can email me through the website either way. Thanks for your consideration.

Turns out that the slalom favors people who are tall and muscular. But hear me out: I think they are overlooking short and chubby. We curl up like a hedgehog or pangolin and just roll right down. We have the small radius plus the mass.

Has anyone else read Snake-Eater by the incomparable @tkingfisher.com? Because it is awesome. (Minor spoiler so you know you can read it: the dog is fine.)

So much fun! Go see it. #HellsKitchen

Set up a new display at the library. Do you notice anyone you know? @gabino.bsky.social

Manifesting sales for October. My books are an epic fantasy reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. What if Maleficent was Aurora's mother and what if she wasn't really evil? The latest is Queen of Thorns. www.amazon.com/dp/B08HLVPF7D

Backing this Kickstarter because the anthology is going to be awesome. And, by the by, I'm one of the authors! :) www.kickstarter.com/projects/fal...?

A while ago, I wrote a story for Curiosities called The Book Burning. They turned it into a downloadable or listenable audio story and I'm pleased to say it is still up. Check it out: gallerycurious.com/e/the-book-b...

When you are a writer and your daughter wants to help you kill off characters, she gets you this. @tkingfisher.com, what do you think?

I love MurderBot. I'm on book 5. If you are not reading Martha Wells and T. Kingfisher, you are missing out on some of the best language usage I've read in a long time. I know those authors and I use the same American English language to write, but I swear they have access to words I don't.

If you like LitRPG I cannot recommend Chrysalis by RinoZ enough.

Happy birthday to my dad. It worth celebrating when you hit 83. Love you.

If anyone is wondering what my audiobook narrator for A Wrinkle & Crime looks like, here he is! The amazing Ryan Reid!

@tkingfisher.com Hemlock & Silver is fantastic and Grayling/Sergio is the best cat ever.

Had a great time and sold a ton of books at The Big Ohio Book Con. Thank you to Black Cat & Oddities a one the Ohio BookDragons and everyone who helped make it possible.

“Ryan is so great. This production is absolutely hilarious. The author KILLS it with the pace and wit.” Check out my new Zombie Cosmetologist audiobooks on the Soundbooth Theater app.

Anyone have a subscription to Everand? Hell Bound is now out on audiobook. Audible, etc, will follow soon. www.everand.com/audiobook/85...

Proud to be the 57th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Gold Dust Publishing 2025 Catalog Pre-Order! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g...

I wrote something about AI and no one on the Book of Face commented, which means that no one saw it. It was clearly suppressed by the algorithm. Trying again here. slipperywords.com/say-no-to-ai/

Made a version of chicken tikka masala and added saffron rice. Feeling pretty snazzy.

@rachelabrune.bsky.social look what you have to look forward to. 😊

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

I’ve been thinking for a while about putting a crossed “AI” on my covers. This looks neater. Now, we wait for this certification to become available for indie authors… www.theverge.com/news/602918/... #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Update for 2025 is up! slipperywords.com/update-for-2...

Nerve blocks for migraines today. I feel like a pincushion. Just did the novocaine not the steroids because I already have osteopenia in my neck. Don't want to make it worse. Anyone have any relief with these?

How I feel right now.

On that note: Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day. Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links. Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

A good amount of snow but what we are waiting for is the drop in temp. Gonna be especially cold here the next few days

The building across my work houses a taqueria, a whiskey bar, and a church on Sundays. Does this scream book idea, or what?

Trying to make plans for 2025 vis-a-vis enewsletter, blog, and writing schedule. Anyone else out there in #writerland #author #writer universes pondering the same?

Was in Hawaii recently and could not get over how cute the Saffron Finches are. Apropos of nothing. Just a tiny bit of joy.

Writing question for today: if you’ve boxed yourself into a corner in your plot, what do you do to get out of it? 1) backtrack to where things went wrong and start again 2) kill a character 3) just keep writing until it unwinds itself? Or something else?

Best pictures of today. #sunset

On vacation and am #writing. Trying to get some words in.

I have a newsletter that comes out on the 2nd and the 16th of each month. Just a short email about my writing progress and family news (mostly our cats😁). News about sales and new releases will always be in the newsletter first. Subscribe at the link below: dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/238700...

#vacation.

Galaxycon Columbus is over. It was a great con, sold a ton of books, and got to hang/work with @jdblackrose.bsky.social and @darinkennedyauthor.bsky.social. They're always great tablemates and always great friends. Also got to meet and work with Rami Ungar, who did a great job. Thanks to all!

Exhibiting at GalaxyCon starting this afternoon. It is a great day to be inside buying books and seeing celebrities!

Looking forward to exhibiting at GalaxyCon in Columbus, Ohio this weekend. I’ll be with Richard Fierce, @darinkennedyauthor.bsky.social and @stuartjaffe.bsky.social. Come see us!

My wife will be speaking about ways to save money when working with a professional editor at the upcoming Make Books Better Summit! This isn’t just another online event; it’s a five-day deep dive into everything that makes books unforgettable. (1 of 5)

I believe this so much. Where my ladies at? I've never achieved anything without support from other women. And I try to do the same for others. It doesn't have to be much, just a "atta girl" can do a lot.

I know I post a lot of cat pictures but come on, look how cute he is.

You know what makes a great gift? Signed books from me, @marysangiovanni.bsky.social, Ed Lee, @bryansmith.bsky.social, @laurelhightower.bsky.social, @somercanon.bsky.social, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, @cgolden.bsky.social, @texascthulhu.bsky.social & more! thunderstormbooks.com/thunderstorm/

Just chilling this morning

Hey, #litRPG fans! Have you read Chrysalis by RinoZ? I did and interview with him. See it here. youtu.be/x0-VgRDiGZY?.... (I make no money from this. I am just a fan.)

All set up at Loganberry. Come say hi!

Anyone here who likes #LitRPG? I did an interview with RhinoZ about Chrysalis. The first segments are up! www.youtube.com/@slipperywor...

Happy Thanksgiving! For those who don’t have family to be with, for whatever reason, I hope you friends holding you tight.

Le sigh. Nothing like getting up at 6:30 to get to Express Care by 7 when they open only to have no doctors or nurses.
