In hindsight, I could have done an unboxing vid for the new printing of The Working from @press-android.bsky.social . Duh. Didn't do one with the original publishing because the books went directly to Readercon & I didn't get there first! But that's cool. (@stevendbrewer.com) #BookSky #WritersLife

Happy to say I've signed a contract for a story to appear in a future issue of @wyldblood.bsky.social. what happens when reality gets recoded by intruders from the multiverse? I guess we'll find out! In the meantime you can find my work in these back issues. wyldblood.com/product-cate...

Tea or Coffee, Stars, & Gravity has received its first review (preorders for the book - aanpress.com/aanorder.htm...) and you can't ask for better than 5 stars. "This anthology has an all-star line-up. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves science fiction with heart, humor, and beauty."

Happy Earth Day, lovely people 🌍🌱🌻🦜💚

I've never seen Montmartre. It has such a presence, fantastical, mutable, irreal in fictions that i can't imagine recognising it in real life. Today's example, @singingtotigers.bsky.social evocative "La bibliotheque d'objets quotidiens" is saturated with a yearning hope of ideas and generosity.

So pleased that my story "Line Between Two Stars" about love and poetry over coffee will be in this upcoming anthology by @aanpress.bsky.social. Thrilled to be with alongside such stellar authors on the TOC!

Announcing the author lineup, ToC, and world map (with blue pins for author cities) for "Tea or Coffee, Stars, and Gravity"

Made it home from @easterconuk.bsky.social intact after battling with 1) chaotic trains; 2) uneven pavements. As it stands, I think the first match was 1-1 and unfortunately I lost the second 1-0. So brilliant to catch up with friends old and new! ✨💕 Hope everyone had smooth journeys home.

Apparently this is a real thing. More in a bit but thanks to all of the BitB contributors. You're all amazing. (Thanks Vera for the pics!)
