Coming this Wednesday: four awesome fantasy authors named Tim on a single podcast. You almost never see four Tims in a room except now or for a very specific sexual fetish. 'nough said on that. 5 PM PST. Don't miss it.

Blue Jays!!!!

I had the great fortune to play a wip of this, am looking forward to experiencing the finished article. Some great standout design ideas and all in time for Halloween! Congratulations to the team on the game launch!

Well done, Canada! 😂

Jays!

Lighting is important when building your beasties. I made these guys a couple of years ago, but they still do Yeomans duty every October.

Halloween decoration has begun!

On Canadian Thanksgiving, I am not going to give thanks for anything current or political. I’ll be uncool and sincere and offer, as always, thanks for the parents I had, how they raised us, and sent 3 of us out into the world. As I get older, I am even more aware of what a gift that was, and is.

Hey thanks so much @rodmannix.bsky.social that’s really flattering. And this is a fine list from top to bottom

I'd love to see this echoed more across the country. Provincial leaders don't get to plant a flag and somehow claim ownership of either natural resources or infrastructure just because they want to.

Since I'm spending a lot of time doing everything except what I need to be doing, here's one thing I've been meaning to do: This is the link for my upcoming book tour for Queen Demon, the sequel to Witch King, 2nd book in the Rising World. Tour starts Oct 6. us.macmillan.com/tours/martha...

This was indeed interesting (and infuriating) re the whole ostrich situation. Reposting without further comment.

4.25⭐ I don't have the spoons for writing reviews currently, but I can say I enjoyed this a lot. If you're looking for a murder mystery - with some queerness, set in Oxford - in the style of Agatha Christie or Arthur Conan Doyle then this is for you. Plus, excellent editing! -- #AmReading 👀📚💙📚⚡📚🌈

Huge congrats to Canada's women's rugby. Dominating New Zealand is an amazing accomplishment. I will be watching the final next Saturday for sure!

Readers! I just posted a new short story for free (via Bookfunnel). It's my new reader magnet. It's called Nepherous, and ties back to my award-winning novella Majordomo. If you're interested, and especially if you liked Majordomo, have a read on me. bookhip.com/RTJFBAZ

The best Pratchett book IMO. Half of it is the best part and the rest merely great.

SFF Readers! Today is cover reveal day for the excellent @adamholcombe.bountyink.com 's new book. He's shifting from necromancers to bounty hunters, and I'm happy to be posting it here. Check it out, and Adam's work in general.

Thanks @realjacksonford.bsky.social that’s awesome to hear especially coming from you. That absolutely makes my day.

Bingo. Easiest money I spend every month is supporting places like @wired.com and @aftermath.site.

Hey, thanks @authorkanew.bsky.social. It's great to get this kind of feedback. I'm really happy Nepherous is out there in the world. He will get a full novel in due time.

Such a great character origin short story, @tbcart.bsky.social I was hooked from pg 1: “Did he want to be a healer? Well, he didn’t not want to be a healer.”

R/Fantasy is currently running their 'best self published fantasy novel' poll. I'm really juiced that Majordomo and Jester have appeared on some lists. This subred is a great way to find books to read, and to tell people what you like. (Whether it's me or anyone else). www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Hey Majordomo fans, I just released a new reader magnet titled 'Nepherous'. You can get it for free here: dl.bookfunnel.com/6jud1oibu7 I'll hype this 6k story more later, but if the title means anything to you, have a look. (Or if you just want a free, funny, cozy-stabby story.)

Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared podcast called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" which I've always liked. This is Horror called me, "Australia's master of literary darkness." I like that too! The graphic below shows all my stuff. Learn more here: alanbaxter.com.au

Quick reminder that we're fast approaching the best season to dispose of a body, and even have friends and neighbours compliment your amazingly lifelike Halloween display. You know, just a heads up so you can prepare accordingly.
