Wait, what? I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Thank you, @blackwarrenbooks.bsky.social and @roundgreencat.bsky.social! I am going to print this out so I can look at it all the time!

A gift from the art department director at #BlackwarrenBooks, @roundgreencat.bsky.social, to our favorite comics writer, @gailsimone.bsky.social, this portrait of Gail and her greyhounds. She's totally fine, see? :D

QOTD: When bunnies hear death metal, do they throw the horns? 🤘 Or the ears? ✌️

Vaughn returns with another edition of Justifying My English Degree and delves into Murakami. www.blackwarrenbooks.com/blog/justify...

For this entry of Novel Thoughts, Vaughn lets his Weeb Flag fly. #blackwarrenbooks #novelthoughts #weeb #anime #tsukimichi #BeTheHeroNotTheToken www.blackwarrenbooks.com/blog/novel-t...

not gonna lie if i knew we were gonna be living under full-blown death cult fascism by this point, i would have written a book about a witch in the alps looking for her neighbor's cat instead 🤪 www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/bitte...

Vaughn closes out April with a piece on stasis and dynamism in The Razor's Edge. www.blackwarrenbooks.com/blog/justify...

Vaughn Demont returns with another edition of Justifying My English Degree. www.blackwarrenbooks.com/blog/justifying-my-english-degree-dorian-gray-is-overrated #blackwarrenbooks #justifyingmyenglishdegree

Vaughn Demont returns to his roots with his original blog's feature, "Justifying My English Degree." www.blackwarrenbooks.com/blog/justifying-my-english-degree-the-cask-of-amontillado

For real, I *loved* this book. It's sad and rough, but it's also very earthy and direct. Galchen cuts away as much romance as she can to get to the cruel nature of courts, rumour, and the ways social structures are manipulated for personal gain. Incredibly well-crafted.

Alternatively, if you'd like more audio from @blackwarrenbooks.bsky.social, try Allora Public Radio! The most recent epsidode is also with M.J. Baerman, but older episodes feature author roundtables, live reads of Blackwarren books, and other interviews. www.blackwarrenbooks.com/allorapublic...

Are you looking for a new podcast featuring chill interviews with queer authors? @blackwarrenbooks.bsky.social has a great one called Lucy's Shelf Life! 1st episode is with our own author M.J. Baerman, and is a chat between readers about nerdy reader things. www.blackwarrenbooks.com/lucys-shelf-...

Lu: I just finished Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch by Rivka Galchen. An impeccably-researched and thoughtfully-fictionalized account of a real 1619 trial. The 21st century resonances are quite obvious, and quite deft. Highly reccomended!

The staff here at #BlackwarrenBooks aren't just writers and editors, we're also readers! :) Vaughn: I write Urban Fantasy, but my shelf has a lot of memoir. What I'm currently reading? @blairbraverman.bsky.social Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube, full throated recommend. Fantastic nature writing :)

Chases, escapes, mysteries, adventure! ...true love? This ain't that kinda story... www.blackwarrenbooks.com/the-bookworm...

An asexual dragon, an enbie satyr teammate, a blood hunt from the Fae... Typical college stuff, right? www.blackwarrenbooks.com/the-bookworm... #blackwarrenbooks #lgbtqia #dragons #urbanfantasy #BeTheHeroNotAToken

The books have arrived!!!! Just in time to be packed up for the launch party at Bourbon City Steampunk Convention this weekend! @blackwarrenbooks.bsky.social will have both physical and digital copies available for sale starting March 14th - link to come! #aetherscall #steampunk #launchtime

GUESS WHAT?!?!?! It's coming.... Get it from the source @blackwarrenbooks.bsky.social #aetherscall #launchday #steampunk #adventure #scifi

for trans day of visibility, a whole bunch of trans creatives made a ttrpg magazine! and all profits go to trans charities! i wrote a brand new essay for it, on how important tabletop roleplaying games were to me (and lots of trans folks) in early explorations of gender you can pre-order it now!

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! I'm so excited I could burst! Just like this unstable sample of jalokivi... No worries though! I'll still have plenty of samples available at the launch party!

Hey! I helped beta read this. If a big, sweeping adventure with an interesting take on steampunk & magic, you should keep an eye out for this. It's available for preorder on Kindle now, but will be available physically starting next weekend!

WDYM jalokivi doesn't actually exist?? What's this then??? Bestie and the dad unit have helped a lot to explore different rock types to figure out the most interesting and accurate book related props! #aetherscall #bookprops #rawk

And we're back on the air! Allora Public Radio is now live, featuring interviews by our resident Panda Chris and editor @boxmastermcgee.bsky.social, as they get to know @authormjbaerman.bsky.social, author of Aether's Call, soon to be released! Check out both on Spotify, links below!

Here at Blackwarren, we are all massive pushovers when it comes to our pets- for a bit of fun, let us introduce you to some of our very good boys, girls, babies, and everything in between. You might ask if we're just shamelessly using our pets to drive interaction, and the answer is yes, yes we are.

Guys, what the heck... I told a client at work today that my book is getting published soon, and she went and got me flowers?!?! Why are some people so nice?? 😭 #flowers #brighterday #gifts

Stupid proud moment is convincing ppl at a steampunk convention to dance along with me to HOT TO GO with @madameaskew.bsky.social & @teagrandarbiter.bsky.social #hottogo #dance #steampunk
