making me nervous. 3 days left and last stretch. in an age of slop conmen and seedy rights grabbers, feels all the more important to focus on the reliable mags we can trust. if you enjoy their work and are able, this is a good time to chip in. the best time even, some might say.

Personal hobbyhorse, but thinking about AI in publishing is really making me want criticism to go harder on discussing the actual style & substance of books. If we just talk about plot & vibes, we're leaving the door totally open, & missing out on the good stuff besides. "It's just words on a page."
We are $600 away from halfway there. If you can share, thank you. I got moved to rehab four days ago, and I'm learning to walk again. 🖤

My new novel is out a week from today — tough timing because of the election & uh, you know, the world. With book reviews an extinct species, it's hard to get the word out. So tell your friends! Meanwhile, I've started the next one, folkish horror set in a bog at a remote Maine hunting camp. Onward!
"What I most want you to know about Andrea Hairston’s The Redemption Center Is Closed on Sunday is that it is both wondrous and intimidating." @mollytempleton.com reviews a novel both dizzying and expansive–the kind of book that makes you want to see the world and live in it:

Today is the day to commiserate with Charles Darwin, on the 161st anniversary of his confessing to Charles Lyell that he felt "...very poorly today & very stupid & I hate everyone & everything." Here's more of the back story on Darwin writing about this not-so-good day. www.npr.org/sections/kru...
Charles Darwin And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Geniuses have it easy, right? They wake up and out pops the brilliance. Well, not really. And not if that genius is Charles Darwin, who's got lots to do and absolutely no desire to do it. Those days (...

Odd This Day@oddthisday.bsky.social · 3w agoWell, happy Charles Darwin is “very poorly today & very stupid & hate[s] everybody & everything” to all who celebrate, because he wrote those words in a letter to his friend (and author of Principles of Geology) Charles Lyell 161 years ago today

THE SCARLET BALL, my dark fantasy novel due out on OCT 6, is set in an 1890 that never existed. During the 1890s, dip pens were still king, but the modern fountain pen was beginning to appear. This, I suspect, is a Beekman fountain pen from the late 1890s.
