Thought my course had sold out but nope! Just Eventbrite being weird! So there are still spots available for my horror-writing class starting on July 7.

I will be teaching another round of my 4-week horror writing seminar for Atlas Obscura! Every Sunday starting July 7. We talk all things horror, starting from idea generation to workshopping a pitch or outline. www.atlasobscura.com/experiences/...

One of the things I was most surprised to learn during my research for The Canopy Keepers and A Breathless Sky was that livestock are a huge contributor to greenhouse gases. Denmark is the first country to tax farms for their gassy residents: www.npr.org/2024/06/27/n...

Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark, the first country to do sowww.npr.org Levels of methane have increased particularly quickly since 2020. Livestock account for about 32% of human-caused methane emissions, the U.N. Environment Program says.

An easy way to support your public library is to make use of it—even if only to visit. We keep (anonymized) statistics not only on circulation totals but on attendance & visits and even on patron-staff interactions. Big numbers please trustees and municipal/county administrators. 📚

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

Got up to pee and bought this book. 😂 It's on said at Audible right now and is narrated by the tremendously talented Robin Miles who I think I would listen to reading a phone book but this looks far more interesting.

My debut novella, THIS WORLD IS NOT YOURS, comes out from Tor Nightfire this September. And now it has its first review! www.libraryjournal.com/review/this-... You can preorder it here! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

This. 👇

As it gets increasingly harder and harder for us writer-types to reach new audiences, much less our existing audiences, I remind you that if you've read a book of ours (like, for me, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD) and liked it, it'd be swell if you left a review somewhere. That way we don't die in the abyss!

Look. I care about climate change a lot. I'm close to a single-issue voter on the subject! But we have GOT to stop worrying about what are, in the scheme of things, rounding errors. I hate, hate, hate this kind of personal-responsibility climate stuff, it's deeply counterproductive.

Books take a lot of resources to make. Digital readers do, too. What's the more sustainable option? The answer isn't straightforward.

You start to notice the strangest things while you're researching a novel (I'm working on the follow-up to The Canopy Keepers, titled A Breathless sky). Looked down on my afternoon walk and spotted these babies. Anyone have any idea what they are?
