Such a wonderful in-depth review of the book (and series so far)!

I had a lot of fun writing about this book 😊

Woke up to find out that my pixel version of «The Lesson» by @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social has been added to the Little Pixel Library. 😱🥰 Right next to Ursula K. LeGuin. 🩵 Check out the rest of the library: hillhouse.neocities.org/cliques/libr... #pixelart #books #scifi #ScienceFiction #pixel #books

Hey, listen, Hollywood -- wacky idea, but maybe just maybe the key here is to make cool original stories because they sure seem to do well. If only there was an entire REALM of cool books by very cool authors you could use as the bedrock of those original stories. If only. *stares* *stares harder*

Today is the day! The second book in our series, Transmentation | Transgression, is out now. Alexandra Pierce at Locus said, "This series is doing bold and clever new things with many-worlds narratives and anyone with an interest in such ideas needs to be reading it."

This series has been so much fun to work on. Happy bookday to all the other darklies!

An excellent, deeply thoughtful review. Working on this series with the other members of @darklylem.com has been a wild ride. Can't wait to hear what readers think of this second installment (right as we're wrapping up the third in the trilogy!).

Coming soon...

Dion Graham has done an incredible job on this whole series, He so deserves this Audie nomination for his work on Ruin! So lucky I got to work with him on the entire Convergence Saga. Congratulations to all the other nominees! www.audiopub.org/2026audies

Looking for a book for the times? Might I suggest @cadwellturnbull.bsky.social's No Gods, No Monsters? It's far from light-hearted, but it's heavy on community care, organizing, and portraying policing systems realistically. (Plus it's just straight up fantastic fantasy.)

I have a story in this as well: "The Vanishing at Neltjeberg." Not my first TOC with the great @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social, but certainly going to be one for the ages. This will be a tough one. We lost a radiant VI voice before this could come out. I'm so looking forward to reading her story.

A wonderful, deeply thoughtful review of Ruin. Thank you @readingreality.bsky.social

Despite everything, this was a writing year that I am immensely proud of. The first book in a co-written multiversal trilogy. Two short stories conceptually in the making for over a decade. And the last book of the Convergence Saga. Concludes an already big story in a big way.

Thank you @reactorsff.bsky.social for the opportunity to talk about this series.

I had a great time chatting with @pezscreenwriting.bsky.social talking about RUIN and writing practice. Check it out!

A little late in sharing, but it was so awesome to be featured on @paulsemel.bsky.social's blog where I got to talk about RUIN and some things I've been reading lately. Thanks for a great interview, Paul: paulsemel.com/exclusive-in...

Monthly round up! We covered five books on Bar Cart Bookshelf this September: time travel shenanigans, parallel worlds, gods, monsters, & mortals, the raddest & radish of wives, clever foxes, deadly assassins, & stalwart couriers. Have you seen all this month's episodes? Have you tried the drinks?

Yeah but you don't want ME to start a SFF magazine All my picks would be strictly vibes-based crunchy prose and critics would be like "There's no plot" for every story in every issue and I'd be like "SO WHAT? SO?? SO WHAT, MR. CRITIC MAN???" 😭

Super honored for my work to be included (twice!) among this list of great books. One of the inclusions is a five-person collab under the pseudonym @darklylem.com that I'm so so proud of. Thank you @mariahaskins.com for shining a light on and showing love to these two multiversal series!

These cocktails have been one of the coolest things that have come out of writing these books. I've only successfully made one of them. I'll have to try Convergence!

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
