If This Goes On (Don't Panic) - new interview with the incredible & incredibly hilarious, @lilithsaintcrow.com. @itgodp.bsky.social & @catrambo.bsky.social discuss D&D, Tolkien, nerd culture, Lili's 5th grade novella (hello!), writing in different genres, & more. itgodp.libsyn.com/lying-to-tel...

One of the things I got to see at GenCon was the cover art for the next issue of the Mag of F&SF, which holds my story "From Hell's Heart I Reach to Thee." It's one of my best (IMO) and I'm so stoked that it's going out into the world soon.

Back from GenCon! It was great seeing so many folks, including some I hadn't seen since before the pandemic. Definitely didn't get to hang with everyone I wanted to, but there were only four days to do so. :)

Catch our last interview with @matthewkressel.net? Here @catrambo.bsky.social asks Matt about writing with authenticity. Listen to If This Goes On (Don’t Panic) itgodp.libsyn.com/site/the-rai... @itgodp.bsky.social

can we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed

One of my favorite co-editors, @jenniferbrozek.bsky.social at GenCon!

@michaelcapobianco.bsky.social tagging you for writer beware. I just found a BUNCH of my stories on here. They also say get in contact to get stuff down - but no contact method provided.

I rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America last night, after, ugh, like 40 years, having been a member in college. It seems to me one possible way forward; god knows both democrats and republicans are both complicit in creating the plutocracy we live under now.

I ordered 15 author copies of my book MOVING FROM IDEA TO FINISHED DRAFT to have for handselling and for reasons unknown, Amazon sent them in 8 separate packages, including one box of six and I am just boggled as to how that makes business sense.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

For the Sydneysiders—I have been remiss in saying that I will be the featured reader at the Open Mic for the Willoughby Literary Festival this Sunday. Come hear me read! Lots of other speculative and lit sessions through the day as well.

Open mic session with featured reader Guan Un

Enjoy readings by writer Guan Un, then take the stage to share your own work.

Just finished a decent draft of a novel based on this short story of mine, which appeared in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social a couple of years ago. www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/conv... Now I'm in that happy "I finished a thing!" glow.

Beneath Ceaseless Skies - Conversation with a Dragon by Cat Rambo

Yesterday Kij Johnson talked to my short story club about her story "Mantis Wives". It was such a great session, and I got SO MUCH out of it. I'll be putting the video up later today and highly recommend it for fellow short story writers. SO GOOD.

I was able to read an ARC of this and it is absolutely amazing, wonderful, heart-filling book. You need to read this book, especially if you're queer and/or neurodivergent. A book that had me in happy tears because I felt SEEN!
