Are you 18+? That's not enough to view THIS spicy media. You're going to have to be...

@vajra.me I'm not sure if you're a shelfie guy? But I ran into this pair of literary siblings at my Pandemonium Books talk and was so very happy.

One of the highlights of my Readercon was when B.E. Stack showed up with this AMAZING fan art of Shesheshen. I've never seen her depicted in such wriggly glory before!

Also: my timeline gave us a gift.

@jennlyons.bsky.social Your book was in the window next to Chuck Tingle at Pandemonium tonight!

It's not all sunshine and rainbows on the Optimism panel! It's also sprinkles and cupcakes.

Don't mind me, I'm just up at 2:00 AM crying because a super personal short story of mine dropped and got an orange banner. Holy heck. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

What's the best episode of TV you've ever watched?

My schedule for next weekend's Readercon! I'm trying to be as available as possible. Panels, a kaffeeklatsch, a party, a reading, and a signing. Will I see you there?

EXCUSE ME

You've had grilled vegetables, but have you had vegetabled grills?

I just started settling in for my vacation when this news arrived: SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN was named one of Amazon's Best Books of the Year So Far! This is simply the stuff of dreams. Thank you to everyone who has loved and supported my monster.

The wonderful @jrdawson.bsky.social drew Shesheshen on my whiteboard! I keep looking at this picture and smiling.

The great @jrdawson.bsky.social drew Shesheshen on my whiteboard!

Non-sarcastic question for my fellow disabled peeps: how does a vertical bar in the shower help you? If it or my hands get wet, I slip right down it. I get horizontal ones. What am I missing?

Are you in Minneapolis? Do you like Fantasy? Well on Thursday I'll be at the Moon Palace with @jrdawson.bsky.social signing books and talking about all things monsters, mutants, and Pride.

Woke to a wonderful surprise: Barnes & Noble named Someone You Can Build A Nest In one of the best books of the year so far! Thanks so much to everyone who's supported this book. Check it out, @djangowexler.bsky.social, our villains are keeping each other company!

This weekend is the Nebula Conference! I'm a finalist for Best Short Story, and I'll be doing virtual programming all weekend. Want to hang out? Here's my schedule:

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

Grilled my first burgers of the season! Had a great time sharing a meal with friends.

Animal Well is a Metroidvania in the same way a platypus is a bird. What a fabulous, brain-bending, genre-bending puzzle game.

This might be the best thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life.

This poor person is trying to remember I think @wiswell.bsky.social book, and the image from their memory is AMAZING www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Reddit - Dive into anythingwww.reddit.com I recently saw a book with a compelling cover and title, and made a mental note to write the title down, but...didn't write the title down. I no longer know how to find it, and am wondering if folks here will recognize it from the description.

@peripateticmeg.bsky.social The best take I've seen yet

Okay everybody pretend it's three weeks ago! All set? *runs in* Three tickets to Challengers, please!

Got whiplash watching socials dunk on how historically bad Megalopolis allegedly is and then visiting Metacritic. Context is a hell of a drug.
