7/28/26. Well ,yeah but where's the movie based on the Aeneid? That's what I'm waiting for. (Had to translate passages in 4th year Latin. It's really good!)

I'm going to start putting the date at the front of anything I post. Sometimes outdated stuff gets reposted here.

New clip from Book 3 of The Farseer Trilogy audiobooks, with one of favourite characters to voice ever: Nighteyes the wolf. He has a special place in my heart, as he does for many fans of @robinhobb.bsky.social's fantastic books. #booksky #farseertrilogy @harpercollins.bsky.social

Pardon my ignorance here. Serious question. Data centers use a huge amount of power and water which affects nearby communities. AI is really smart (I am told).Can AI work out how to reclaim and recycle the water, and how to use solar or wind to power these centers?

Hey @saltlakecity. Is it truly in the 90s this coming week? And smoky air from fires? Just as I'm coming to visit you?

@ramonterrell.bsky.social one of my chickens has bumblefoot. Wishing your dad was here to give me advice. That story stayed with me.

Very happy to share that after all these years, Assassin's Apprentice is going back for a 13th printing of 49,000 copies!! Now Ship of Magic is only on its 8th printing but still happy to see another 10,000 copies headed to bookstores.

Coming up fast! This Friday, June 19, #PeterOrullian and I will chat and sign books at the Lakewood WA B&N store to celebrate Peter's collaboration with Brandon Sanderson, Songs of the Dead. That #TerryBrooks guy will be there, too.

Jody did such a wonderful transformation from book to comic script. The whole team is amazing.

After 25 years, we have a re-release of @robinhobb.bsky.social 's Farseer Trilogy in Bulgarian, thanks ozone! I dare say, the edition is trying to make up for the wait, with beautiful illustrations, a cloth map of the Six Duchies and some artsy post cards. Not affiliated, just excited and happy :)

Levels of wealth. How much money do you have to squirrel away to feel safe? To feel wealthy? Is it okay if a bunch of people have a whole lot more money than you or does that feel like you don't have enough? Trying to understand why some folks want more and more and more.

American Tune, Paul Simon, came up in my playlist. Sadly more apt than ever. But a pileated woodpecker visited my bird feeder. So I hang on to the good things. we 'can't be forever blessed' but there are some good pieces still.

This beautiful thing is about to arrive. Note this is for people who earlier bought copies of Fionavar from @grimoakpress.bsky.social. On June 3 at 11 EDT everyone gets access to what they have not already sold. I love working with Shawn Speakman and Julien Delval on these.

I am reading Project Hail Mary. Lots of science, much going over my head. But I wonder what editor had to verify accuracy of descriptions, formulas. etc. Surely that person deserves to be named!

I had a wonderful time at the grand opening of the new Barnes and Noble book store on Piike Street in Seattle. I left lots of signed stock. Many thanks to May, Michael, Robert and Cole in the Lego costume.

520 Pike Street, Seattle! A new Barnes and Noble book store. I will be there to sign books. The rotten black cat intruding in my PR effort will not. Gift basket door prize! 9AM May 6

Hey Seattle and surrounding areas. Meet me at 9 AM on May 6 at 520 Pike Street. Let's open a new Barnes and Noble store there.

Something nice for a Monday. An app I really enjoy is PuctureThis. Take a photo of a plant. It tells you what it is. Tree names I never bothered to learn. Weed names. Wild flowers. Invasive plants. Knowing something's name is a very old magic.
