Just a heads-up that I will have a new story coming out November 1st in The Sunday Morning Transport. It's called "The Lacemakers of Szentkatarina." I'll tell you when it's available online! (The image is The Crochet-Worker (Mary Ann Purdon) by William Etty)

The @morningtransport.bsky.social always delivers but this James Morrow story is brilliant and as playful and surprising as anything Morrow has done (and he's done plenty of playful, surprising, brilliant things): www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/john-and-t...

sundaymorningtransport.comJohn and the CosmosJames Morrow returns to The Sunday Morning Transport this week with a new alternate universe story containing a famous family’s secret history, and the fate of the galaxy.

James Morrow shows us how it’s done @morningtransport.bsky.social this morning: JOHN AND THE COSMOS. I am making delighted noises @franwilde.bsky.social edits www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/john-and-t...

Happy Book Birthday to "The Year's Top Science Fiction", edited by Allan Kaster, and including my alt.history tale, "Darwin's Rocket"! The story originally appeared in The Sunday Morning Transport (eds. Fran Wilde and Julian Yap), and was also a Sidewise Award finalist. Whee!

We are $600 away from halfway there. If you can share, thank you. I got moved to rehab four days ago, and I'm learning to walk again. 🖤

I, an incredibly talented individual, dislocated my thumb yesterday by changing sitting positions. It’s a new dislo, so it hurts a lot, and on my dominant hand. so if I’m slow getting back to you, or send lots of typos, that’s why.

Admittedly, I did this during a meeting, and bullheaded my way through the end of it, then proceeded to try and do things with a splint on, until it swelled up like a balloon. So I am still the person you know and love. Just with a splint and more tape now, for a little while anyway.

New year, new story day! This story is the vibe I want all of us to carry into the new Jewish year. And for anyone in NYC who was annoyed by this morning’s rain, it was clearly my story’s fault. Enjoy!
