Thanks, John!
My forthcoming novel, FANGS NOT INCLUDED, is my take on WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, but with vampires from Hindu and Buddhist folklore (and a couple of original ones). I think it's funny! Hopefully you will, too.

Years ago I wrote about my first novel on your blog, John, and some time later Stuff Happened with the publisher. But Canadian literary house NeWest Press came to me with an offer and now there's a brand new and mildly changed edition of Napier's Bones. bookshop.newestpress.com/collections/...
Thanks, John! My most recent release is A House Between Sea & Sky.
In 1926 California, a grieving writer & a rising silent film star find refuge in a sentient house with dark origins.

I'm going to be busy at @milehicon.bsky.social today, so while I'm away:
HEY WRITERS: Tell the class about your latest book and where people can get it!
Yep yep this. I'm not celebrating over here. Sure, we've postponed (another) separatist referendum bid (they're not going to give up, because the people funding them and pulling their strings are not), but. *Confirmation* that Alberta is mostly bigot by volume? Not fun.
in my queer cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD, a 43yo undiagnosed autistic guy has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest, while his sister goes into the wood to find him with the most annoying woman she's ever met

THE GREAT PUMPKIN PANCAKE PARTY is out in the world!
This book is about food and family, and the traditions that help us become who we are.
Thank you to everyone who has preordered, requested it from the library, shared it, reviewed it, or cheered it on. It means more than I can say.
Things I wish I'd understood sooner as an AuDHD progressive beyond that would have saved me, and others, frustration.
1. Injustice Trigger
Unfairness, whether it is games or political climate, is EXTREMELY activating and/or triggering and it's common with ADHD and autism.
Ursula K. LeGuin's birthday today.
The compassion of her work first drew me in. I don’t mean that guilt-tinged concern that often passes for compassion, but a thirst to make us truly feel - for people, but for dragons too. And the fires within us that those dragons represent.
I miss her so much.
There is a doofus currently arguing here that no "creative talent" would choose to write tie-ins, and since I just did a panel this weekend on why creative talents choose to write IP, here are a few reasons. Non-financial reasons, for fun and because frankly it usually doesn't pay that well.
Dude on his phone in his lifted truck blew by me in a crosswalk on Waterfront drive without even slowing down. Fortunately I could see he wasn’t looking at me so I paused while he drove by. I’d love to see cracking down on that behaviour in a mayoral platform.
Canadians -- please help Kaya with a rent buffer. I've known her for a long time (way too long, like the kind of time we don't admit because then we feel old).
I’m stoked this is now public — my first book comes out Feb. 16 with Doubleday Canada! Expanded from a @theglobeandmail.com feature I did last year, it follows one thread through a world of people fighting to save life in Ukraine — all life, and any life.

The most important thing to understand how art and sales intersect is this Harvard Data sciences study on digital MP3 downloads in two 'markets' they created using the same music pool.

#Booksky Small Press thread 2/? colleagues didn’t or won’t get to see. We would love to start Year 11 strong so we‘re looking at crowdfunding, etc. I am hard at work on the third werewolf novel in my series and hope to have updates soon. But in the meantime, we need some book sales now!
#Booksky Real Small Press Talk for a minute here 1/?: we are currently at about 50% of 2025‘s sales and and I no longer have a tech job to pull us out of freefall, which means we’re depend on book sales, Patreon and Ko-fi. Our 10th birthday is coming up in January, a milestone many of our…
