Wow, just got a new variation on the book club scam...someone offering to do a video promotion on The Shape-Changer's Wife (which came out THIRTY YEARS AGO). He says he's already made the video. Should I ask to see it??? Nah. But this is next-level.

On my Facebook page, I post weekly "blessings" drawn from my Elemental Blessings series. The ones for the first of the year are too good not to share: intelligence, creativity, and power. When you use your brain and your imagination, you will discover how powerful you can be.
Meanwhile, here's a link to a guest post about "Shifter and Shadow" that I did for the @scalzi.com Whatever blog. All about what I had to think about as I revisited a series 17 years later... whatever.scalzi.com/2025/09/09/t...
Official book birthday for Shifter and Shadow, out today from Fairwood Press!
Really enjoyed “I Think I’m in Love With an Alien” by @annaguirre.bsky.social. Featuring a sweet human-alien romance, found family, an extraterrestrial convention, and an ending that purely made me happy.

I backed a fundraising project for a Christmas album from the vocal group Windborne, and I have been playing it on continuous repeat ever since it arrived. Nontraditional (medieval?) carols, close harmonies, minimal accompaniment, gorgeous. The campaign is over but you can still order it.

I'm a mediocre photographer at best and my old iPhone doesn't have a great camera anyway, but I can't stop myself from trying to take pictures of celestial amazements. Venus? I think? At sunset yesterday.
I had a chance to write about my new book, ALIBI—and what I think about writing mysteries—over at @scalzi.com's The Big Idea. whatever.scalzi.com/2024/11/15/t...
The Big Idea: Sharon Shinn
For her new novel Alibi, author Sharon Shinn strays a bit from what she’s usually known for, to mix another genre of literature into her storytelling. What mysteries has she uncovered from th…

Today is the birthday for my new mystery-romance-sf book ALIBI. I myself am retreating into fiction these days, so maybe everyone else is too.
I'm only about 70 pages into Alix Harrow's "Starling House," but so far I love it. The PERFECT book to read for Halloween.
Wonderful weekend at World Fantasy Con in Niagara. Highlights were hanging out with @renegade500.bsky.social and @sillysarasue.bsky.social and @marthawells.bsky.social. And of course seeing the magnificent falls.
Four weeks out, it feels like Schrödinger’s election. We won’t know until November if democracy is alive or dead.
You know it's a new era when there are portmanteau names for presidential running mates. I've seen "Timala" but I think I like "Harriz" better.
Attended a Rainbow Rowell event last night, and she was awesome. Funny, charming, authentic. She opened with “I’m always nervous at the beginning, but then I calm down. Don’t be worried about me.” Can’t wait to read SLOW DANCE.
