Judith Moffett's The Ragged World should be an exception. The new @patrickswenson.bsky.social Fairwood Press edition is the first physical publication for 34 years and it couldn't be more timely in some ways. A pioneering work of environmental SF up there with KSR, a radical look into sexuality 2/3

Reissued books don't get reviews in places like @locusmag.bsky.social @strangehorizons.bsky.social or @ancillaryreviewofbooks.org etc often, most attention goes on the new. Unfortunately that means that it doesn't take much for a writer to be forgotten especially a woman or writer of colour. 1/2

I received copies of two anthologies from Wandler publications in Germany, each of which have a Jack Cady story. I sent the stories from Fairwood's Cady Collection on a foreign rights deal with their publisher Michael Schmitt, and with blessings from Jack's widow Carol Orlock.

With Book II in hand and its official pub date this Tuesday, it's time to show the full cover for Book III, THE BIRD SHAMAN, the final book in the trilogy by Judith Moffett. Coming in July.

Copies of book 2 of the Holy Ground Trilogy, TIME, LIKE AN EVER-ROLLING STREAM by Judith Moffett, have arrived. Officially out next week, joining book 1 THE RAGGED WORLD, already out. Book 3, THE BIRD SHAMAN will be out in July. fairwoodpress.com/store/p195/T...

Cover reveal, last of the 2026 titles to show, coming this fall.... Here's TROPES by @sharonshinnauthor.bsky.social, a collection of stories and poems. The beautiful original artwork is by Tom Canty. Available for early preorder at the Fairwood site. fairwoodpress.com/store/p215/T...

I really do recommend this forthcoming novel from Fairwood Press if you can. It's a very human story, tragic and comic together, and also just really great world building of a kind my nerdy heart loves. Preorders and more info: fairwoodpress.com/store/p198/T...

ARCs arrived for 3 summer books (a week and a half after my authors got theirs)! Here's a small stack of each. You've got choices where to preorder yours: the Fairwood Press site, some of the bigger online retailers, or at your fave local bookstore. www.fairwoodpress.com

I've landed in Minneapolis MN to meet my sis, who's been working here with fellow company workers. They were going to the Minnesota Twins game tonight, so I thought: why not? Not even playing the Mariners, but another Ms team, the Marlins. I hotel it tonight and fly right back tomorrow afternoon!

We've got the full cover for TIME, LIKE AN EVER-ROLLING STREAM by Judith Moffett, Book II of the Holy Ground Trilogy, and we're off to the printer. Coming June 9! Available at Fairwood and also major online retailers fairwoodpress.com/store/p195/T...

Has a visitor wake me up this morning. Got in, I would guess, through an open door (no screen) last night when cooling down the house (AC on the fritz). Of course she resisted my attempts to get her out for a while but at least she has good taste in drinks.

Tacoma Literary Festival starts in about half an hour at the Tacoma Armory! Free to attend. Come see me at the Fairwood booth until the festival closes at 6 pm. @gritstudio.bsky.social #tacomalitfest
