I've heard very good things.

I want to reassure the reading public that @nisishawl.bsky.social and I will use our powers only for good.

It lives!!

Great 1st #review of @megelison.bsky.social's forthcoming Klaw-edited novella FOUNDLING FATHERS! powderandpage.com/2026/01/05/f... "It’s funny, flawed, and I think the time of the release, shortly before the USA’s 250th anniversary, was a great choice." @tachyonpub.bsky.social

Surrey on down the link to join our online Story Hour tonight (Wednesday 1/7):

I'll be moderating a virtual @bookcritics.bsky.social panel on newsletters and arts writing this Thursday evening! Very excited about this one. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

[most enticing vizier voice] my lord... this one was a World Fantasy finalist and Compton Crook winner... it's about hero worship and deprogramming from your fascist upbringing... and accepting that sometimes your gods don't love you back... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Not everyday a book I edited gets included on @lithub.com.web.brid.gy's annual Books to Look Forward To list. Honored to play a part, no matter how small, In the production of FOUNDLING FATHERS

On the bottom row, @datlow.bsky.social's seminal anthology DARKNESS can be seen tachyonpublications.com/product/dark...

I originally wanted to go with the blurb "Michael Swanwick is disgustingly good," but I was afraid it would be misinterpreted.

Kitteh approved. #IgnoreThisBook
