If you're writing any historical fiction set in the UK in the first half of the 20th century, I can't recommend www.1900s.org.uk enough. It's run by a retired academic who's trying to archive what life was like then for normal people, and it's got all kinds of little details you'd never make up.

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

Sorry to hear this morning about the passing of Jon Lasser (@disappearinjon.wandering.shop.ap.brid.gy). My deepest condolences to his family and all who knew him. If you aren’t familiar with Jon’s work, here are some things he had published: twoideas.org/publications...

An autumn #cozyfantasy anthology from Cozy Vales has just dropped! 🍂 Lots of amazing stories as usual, with one from me too: books2read.com/cozyvales-an...

I honestly think that @lanedraws.bsky.social knocked it out of the park, but this ebook edition doesn't do the full cover justice. The paperback will have the ENTIRE graphic including the back. But for now, the ebook is both economical and available for pre-order this very minute. Releases 9/26.

I love @wingbuffet.bsky.social's perfect cover art, @lesleyaworrell.bsky.social 's cover design, &all the perfect details of page layout inside (with huge thanks to my wonderful editor @erikatsang.bsky.social)!

Hi friends! Things are really tight. I had to graduate from a manual chair with power assist to a fully powered chair due to my illness, which means my beloved Colours chair needs to find a new home. It’s powered by the Yamaha NaviOne system, which is fabulous. Please share.

You ever have one of those yarn projects where you check your gauge, do the math, then look at a dozen rows in and realize the blanket's twice the width it should be? So then you frog it and start over, check a couple rows in, and discover you're half a foot short? Third time's the charm, right?

Seems like a good reason to return to social media. Happy to share my article in NYT books featuring some of my favorite fantasy authors, including works by Alaya Dawn Johnson, Rebecca Roanhorse, John Wiswell and more. #fantasybooks

So pretty! And I'm excited by how much longer it is than the first!

I love Jordan’s writing, and The Death of Mountains is the best novella I’ve read this year. If you can get a copy, do it!
