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.

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

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?...
