I was just told "You're so prolific." This is a real time picture of projects on my desk. Not one of them is what I'm supposed to be working on. "Prolific" is a measurement of my procrastination!

The story and history of modern Black Horror Fiction is not mine to tell, but it’s one I was lucky and privileged enough to see happen in real time, and be there on the ground as it occurred.

How to sum up my In-Conversation with @karnythia.blacksky.app at this year’s Print Row Litfest? Chicago Public Library kicked off the literary block party. We were introduced by Chicago Public Library Foundation President and CEO Eva Giglio. Then there was the actual conversation.

I've read @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social's Crown Hill Chronic(les) from @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social' Forged in FIYAH anthology. It's a slice of life and slice of death story concerning community and taking care of what's important.
Abagail’s Gethsemane by Wayne Brady and @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social In #TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt I am content now. Someone tackled Abigail’s story for us. And it’s everything it should be. Lordy! Still wiping the tears away! Her grace and strength flow from the words!
Book 27 of 2026: Buffalo Soldie by @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social. I wish the book were at least 200 pages longer. I loved this novella. I’m intrigued by Desmond and want to know more about Lij and the Nations. I want more about all of it. The politics, the history, and the stories.
Saying @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and @chesyaburke.bsky.social is more than enough, but the table of contents is FUCKING STELLAR (pardon my French): Linda Addison, @tananarivedue.bsky.social, @victorlavalle.bsky.social, @pdjeliclark.bsky.social, @shereereneethomas.bsky.social, Wrath James White…
I have a book coming out on Tuesday! My publisher gave me an option of either a launch day event or one for the weekend. And I said let's do the weekend cuz a lot of my community works so it will be easier for them to come out for a signing on Saturday. But that's not the real reason
Reaching back into the vault to my first published short story (published by @mythopoetica.bsky.social and later anthologized by Paula Guran), "Lavanya and Deepika," a fairy-tale retelling about sisters. If you need some magic on this Saturday, have a read! www.cabinetdesfees.com/2011/lavanya...

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been short-listed for the Indiana Authors Award in the Genre category. This makes me a four time nominee! (I won twice: once for Pimp My Airship in the Genre category and the other for Unfadeable in the Middle Grade category.)
We survived GenCon Writers Symposium 2026, y’all (and that’s saying something considering the occasional tornado). I was so busy running around I barely got to enjoy it. Luckily, my interns and friends made sure to slow me down to experience what we were curating.
Congrats to @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and the entire GCWS team (volunteers, speakers, everyone) for what everyone is saying was a fantastic weekend!
Jason Sanford@jasonsanford.bsky.social · 2mo agoFYI that this year's Gen Con Writers Symposium has been the best and most diverse conference in years, with writers and readers packing panels and workshops. Props to @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social and the GCWS staff for doing such amazing work! 3/
I continue to design interesting experiences for folks!
Jim C. Hines@jimchines.com · 2mo agoTornado warning and multiple alerts and emergency notifications during our #WritersSymposium #GenCon panel just now. I blame @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social. Mad props to @larkmorganlu.bsky.social for moderating the panel through that chaos.
Imposter Syndrome panel at #GenCon #WritersSymposium @tbonejenkins.bsky.social "I just found out I'm the moderator for this panel and I feel very unprepared." Typical @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social ... Designing interesting experiences for everyone. 😁
Our pal @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social was late for the event he was hosting so we decided to fill in for him. #GenCon
I’m so far behind on posting! I can't thank @tobiasbuckell.bsky.social and the Gathering Volumes bookstore enough for hosting me. He is such a great conversation partner! I swear I'd keep writing books just as an excuse to talk to him.
I have four new pieces out (or about to be), mostly inspired by where I live:
