I had a blast at last night's launch party for A Ruin, Great and Free. Thank you @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social for being an amazing, hilarious conversation partner (I don't know how you do all that you do!). Thank you so much @2ndflightbooks.bsky.social for hosting us!

Really looking forward to this!

I have to be a little self-indulgent here. "Apeiron" is one of my favorite stories. It is the clearest expression of an idea I've been obsessing about for decades. I'm so honored @lightspeedmagazine.com accepted it for their September issue. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/apei...

Honored to see RUIN among these amazing books!

@arleysorg.bsky.social is a fantastic interviewer, great questions and follow-ups, but also just a joy to talk to. So grateful I got to sit down with him.

This is evil -- the kind of evil you read about in history books, the kind of evil you would never mistake for a single second if you saw it in another country. When you ask, of historical evils, "how could they let that happen?" That's us. We're letting this happen.

A taste of what's to come! Thank you @reactorsff.bsky.social for featuring a chapter from the upcoming A RUIN, GREAT AND FREE. And from the POV of a crowd favorite: the sweet and dangerous (now teenage) Dragon himself.

A super great point about narrative rewards

So, @derekdel.bsky.social once said: "People... assume that a magician keeps secrets FROM people, but a real magician keeps secrets FOR people." And that strikes to the heart of fiction, too. It's as good a summation of how worldbuilding should work as I've ever heard.

narrative perfection

For years people said it was a gross exaggeration to label Nazism and its associated viewpoints within the modern conservative movement and especially online. Now Nazis are openly thriving and their rhetoric is impossible to avoid and many of the people who downplayed it are saying nothing at all

Look at this thing of beauty

Good mail day? No, no, GREAT mail day!! Very excited for these three books by three very talented writers, whose perspectives and prose and ideas all meet in an uncanny Venn Diagram that shines like three moons aglow! @kristinaten.bsky.social @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social @ambersparks.bsky.social

@cadwellturnbull.bsky.social moves towards the resolution of his Convergence trilogy in A RUIN, GREAT AND FREE! I was lucky to review book one & blurb book two, so book 3 is probably going to end up tattooed on my heart? No doubt, a game-changing series www.blackstonepublishing.com/products/boo...

First review for A RUIN, GREAT AND FREE. And it's a starred review from @libraryjournal.bsky.social! "The conclusion to 'The Convergence Saga' ... is stunning in its emotional depth while still appealing to readers looking for an action-filled fantasy." www.libraryjournal.com/review/a-rui...

This Tuesday I’ll be doing an in-person “IN CONVERSATION” with award-winning writer @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social . We’ll be at the Kheprw Institute’s Alkhemy CWB center (3802 N. Illinois Street). As you can imagine, we're shy & will struggle for things to talk about …

My only recent photo with Zohran is when he joined us at the first Jewish mass action against Israel in Gaza and we all got arrested and taken to jail. Now, we and thousands of people who volunteered for his campaign made him the boss of the very NYPD who arrested us. Organizing can change anything

Where I (very respectfully) talk about what I think is sometimes the conflict between what a reader wants and what a writer is trying to do: Full video: youtu.be/Fqiw2RQIy2s?...

Another amazing (very detailed) review of Transmentation | Transience from @locusmag.bsky.social!

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

The book I co-wrote with four other incredible authors is on sale! Do check it out. I'm so proud of this thing.

Thank you @victorerikray.bsky.social for calling this what it is. Earlier this year, I argued that media needs to use the word "Segregationist" instead of anti-DEI, or "culture wars". www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I’ve donated a copy of NO GODS NO MONSTERS to the Locus fundraiser. It is already taken, but you should still consider contributing to the Locus Fundraiser 2025: igg.me/at/locusmag2...

Day/night made

Cadwell Turnbull has some wonderful things to say about Storyteller!!! I'm both thankful and thrilled. Bringing Tanith's fingerprints to the surface--the ways in which she inspired and influenced so many of us: it's exactly why I took on this project 🤩

FYI folks, Barnes & Noble is offering 25% off all pre-orders for A Ruin, Great and Free for Rewards Members (and an extra 10% for Premium Members) from today until the 25th! If you’ve been thinking about grabbing A RUIN, GREAT AND FREE, now’s a perfect time.

But bravery is contagious. There are people who think "maybe I should do something" who will look left and will look right, and if they don't see people doing things, they'll sit back down. Make sure that they see people doing things.

Proud to be the 160th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for The Adventures of Lion Man! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

Thank you @princejvstin.com for this incredible in-depth review of Transmentation | Transience!

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

An absolutely lovely in-depth review of Transmentation | Transience is out at @reactorsff.bsky.social by Sasha Bonkowski. She really captured the heart of not just the book, but the project behind it: reactormag.com/book-review-...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Had a great conversation with my cowriter @craigabyte.bsky.social and the hosts of @skiffyandfanty.com. It was so much fun!
