Just two weeks until the glorious release of A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social! Have ye preordered it yet from your favourite bookmonger? @r-emrys.bsky.social thinks you’ll love “a delightfully grown-up book about building makeshift nests with your weird friends,” and we do too!
Yep. I was thinking none of my side characters had a chill time here and then I remembered one protagonist's aunt who shows up fabulously dressed and too late to help, with an entourage of people who might have been helpful but probably wouldn't Aunt Nevi is living her wildest life and I love her
Patrick Samphire 🏴@patricksamphire.bsky.social · 5h agoThe problem with my side characters is that they come into contact with the main characters, which inevitably makes a mess of their day, even if unintentionally.
Zero Lives Remaining, the first in Union Square & CO’s brand new novella line, Singularity, is out today! I’m incredibly proud to be working with @adamcesare.bsky.social on this and many more to come.

I'm sure I've forgotten to thank all kinds of people for their role in A DUBIOUS CLAMOR (preorder still available! hornedlarkpress.com/product/a-du... ) but today I remembered one: I want to thank @scott-h-andrews.bsky.social for kindly rejecting it as a short story. It SURE WAS NOT a short story!

Red State Universities: we believe in indoctrination and job training Students: we hate that is there another option? Blue State Universities: we promise to have no values except job training. It ain’t enough. My latest. Gift link.
Perry: Republicans fought ‘indoctrination.’ Now they’re telling students what to study.
The conservative attack on higher education in states like Iowa is hard to watch. But it also provides an opportunity for blue states like Minnesota.

Horned Lark Press@hornedlarkpress.com · 7d agoOne of the (many, many) cool things about A DUBIOUS CLAMOR by @marissalingen.bsky.social is how harpies are developed into something much more than monsters… hornedlarkpress.com/product/a-du...
No matter whether you're intending to publish the piece or not, you gotta stop writing for your Very Worst And Most Horriblest Readers. Are they out there? Yes! Will they read your book? Probably! Do you have to give a shit? You do NOT.

I've got an advance copy of @marissalingen.bsky.social 's debut novella from @hornedlarkpress.com. A Dubious Clamor. It's a somehow breezy alternate history examination of fascism, immigrant rights, social pressures on nonconforming women, and Gilbert and Sullivan do Norse Mythology.
Hey, guess who's got two thumbs and is opening to submissions on Aug 24? It's THIS MAG. Actually, I guess the magazine doesn't have any thumbs, but I—JJA—do, and I'm eager to get them all over dem horror stories after 6 years out of the editorial chair. I guess it will mostly be my other fingers.
Hey pals, come follow my next BackerKit campaign and help me bring a TIME LOOP ANTHOLOGY to life next month!! (It will have an open submission period for writers in October.) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...
This is why we signal boost each other, review and blurb good books, and try to support each other when life pours it on. Without community, you'd only have the abyss. And the abyss is one of those friends who's only really good in group settings. Never ride home alone with the abyss.

One of my favorite minor hobbies is letting my mother know what idioms are just our family. She is always amazed. "No one else says 'well, that's life in the pickle factory'???" No, Mor, they really don't.
Also I am a pretty tough sell on "formatting" poems, but this one from Sophie Fink in @reckoningmag.bsky.social was so worth it: reckoning.press/sturgeon-baby/
