I adore Lightspeed and Nightmare and have stories in the queue, waiting to be read by YOU. As such, I'm pretty invested in seeing @lightspeedmagazine.com succeed--and I just backed their Kickstarter! They have four days to go, and need about 10k--can you help? www.kickstarter.com/projects/lig...

LIGHTSPEED & NIGHTMARE: Award-Winning SF, Fantasy, & Horror

We've published nearly 10 million words of science fiction, fantasy, and horror short fiction. Help us write the next chapter.

Well, I have finished Nighthawks, and other than an OOPS with a major NPC dying that I'd rather not have? Got my personal "best ending," I suspect. Really, really enjoyable game! I suspect I will peek at some content now and see what other people have done, though. . .

There is some *lovely* human-made character art here, which is so difficult to find in the age of slop. Go take a look!

I'm currently working on the 60th TTRPG portrait package for my Patreon. 🤯 It's hard to promote it as much as I should, so I'll take this chance to do it! Shares are appreciated🙏 The ArtVenturing Guild is an ever-growing library of fantasy character art for TTRPGs: www.patreon.com/ArtVenturing...

A preview of 6 fantasy character portraits.

I am *loving* Nighthawks so far. The writing is *smart*, and NPCs don't do the *convenient* thing for the player character--sometimes, they can be damned *inconvenient* and annoyingly smart, in a "Damnit, how'd you find out I told the doctor THAT??" kind of way. :D

Nighthawks is OUT! When the sun sets, outcasts rise. Gather new friends, face old prejudices, and prepare to seize the night in Nighthawks, the vampire RPG where the secret is out... but the hunt continues. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/... GOG: www.gog.com/en/game/nigh...

I've been quiet about this one until I had some definite news, but this book is available now!! It's a book that's both taken a long time to come to fruition and a whirlwind of a rush at the same time. Published by Island of Wak-Wak, the same as my poetry chapbook from two years ago.

cover art, text reads "Daniel Ausema, The Fall of the City of Bells"; images from the public domain shows monks pulling the ropes on a line of bells in an old building

I believe I had the pleasure of reading this one in rough draft form; there's an aching yearning to the prose that works very well with the topic! Check it out. :)

I will be sharing a volume with the *amazing* D.A. Xiaolin Spires, who is both one of my favorite people and writers!

This is live now! I loved Redfern's emotive, yet philosophical reading! As I noted elsewhere, this story is a masterclass in the effective use of *refrain*.

Story Hour@storyhour.bsky.social · last mo.

This Story Hour, Redfern Barrett and Deborah L. Davitt left our heads spinning with the vast potential of SFF! These four tales are all completely different, comparable only in their excellence. You can still watch! @redfernbarrett.com @deborahldavitt.bsky.social youtu.be/6TIbLV927Yc

The story I've been working on was *supposed* to land at 6k words. Nice. Neat. Marketable. Damnit, brain, I did NOT need to write a third novella this year! They're hard to sell! Not to mention it's a weird blend of genres that is ALSO unsellable. *grump* Anyway. Finishing the thing.

Tropical Storm Edouard is nearing landfall today, bringing sporty winds and heavy rainfall into the upper Texas coast. The worst of these impacts will be mostly east and north of Houston, but we’re still eyeing the potential for heavy rainfall, especially east of Interstate 45. #houwx #tsedouard
