Hello, friends! I mainly write SF originals and tie-ins. Latest is: The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human (optimistic near-future literary SF mystery). I'm also a fifth of @darklylem.com , whose multiversal political thriller trilogy begins with Transmentation | Transience!

It took a few complications around printers and scanners on top of a low bandwidth, but from a remote corner of Pohnpei State, in the Federated States of Micronesia, I'm doing my best to make sure that the opportunities I had when migrating to NZ 30 years ago, are not denied to my NZ-born children

That's me, to the left of Andy Weir.

It's absolutely impossible to express how much this means and how unbelievable it seems.

Oh, heck, yessssss!

👇 a pet peeve of mine. People use "the fans" to justify what they wanted to do anyway. "the fans want" a useless phrase bec there are SO many diff fans of any big show/franchise & they vary! I expected various Supernatural subfandoms to literally take up arms at some points. "The fans" not 1 thing!

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

Really missing the rubber chicken we used to have, coz I'd be carrying it around with me everywhere. When some chucklehead starts up with the "what is a woman?? hurr hurrr" bullshit, I'd hold that bad boy aloft and declaim, "I don't know about that, but BEHOLD! A man!"

Cadwell Turnbull's All the Hidden Places collects fourteen stories about hidden spaces amidst gods, monsters, and men; it's a collection @tobiascarroll.bsky.social claims "finds a disconcerting way to marry tenderness and horror." Read the full review at Reactor!

It wasn't that he looked especially scary or anything, I was always a vampire-loving kid. It was that I had a pretty good understanding of the difference between real things and fake things on tv, but then they did a fancy ass dissolve that made the human DISAPPEAR and I was fucked.

#FridayReads Last night I started reading The Department of What it (Really) Means to be Human by @darusha.ca, and I'm hooked! Fascinated by the mystery of the missing artist, intrigued by how the other threads of the story will come into play!

I've been on the internet a very long time, and I've had more "what on god's green earth are you even talking about" moments in the last 2 years than in the previous 20. Just absolutely baffling non sequiturs, straw men, logical fallacies, malicious misconstructions, you name it. We are unwell.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

HUGE recommend from me. One of my favorite TV shows ever, full stop. And not just because it features a character nicknamed Angry Ginger. It just rocks. Anyway -- I love Killjoys, love it a lot. Team Awesome Force 4eva!!!
