Horned Lark Press

The Quantum Dawn is out soon! (Today in UK!) Derek and I both had debut novels in 2018 (The Quantum Magician for him), and for a while we both stepped back from other work to focus on novels and wrote together in the library. So I feel a kind of vicarious pride in this series, ha. It is excellent.

You can get A DUBIOUS CLAMOR, full of harpies, opinionated weaponry, and cake, from @hornedlarkpress.com (hornedlarkpress.com/product/a-du...) or other lovely online purveyors of books!

Don’t think you understand the strength at all. Fuck AI and fuck getting in bed with thieves. Just don’t use it. You can’t sugar over this devil.

Our authors don’t use AI and neither do we at any point of the production process. We hire real artists and editors and give exactly zero dollars to techbro fascists who stole the work of creatives and are now selling it back.

IF YE ARE IN VERMONT Tonight in Burlington at Phoenix Books on Church St. at 7 pm, meet legends @chuckwendig.bsky.social and @delilahsdawson.bsky.social! Dang you folks are lucky! Did I order a signed copy of MONSTERA by Delilah so Chuck could bring it up to Canada for Can*Con? YES I DID

There is a UK-based society of authors that says they are committing to the ethical use of generative AI when NO SUCH THING EXISTS. If you melt down stolen gold and pour it into the shape of a kitty cat, it’s still stolen gold.

Stomp stomp stompity stomp those fash with COYOYE RUN by @lilithsaintcrow.com, an adrenaline-packed tale in whatever format you prefer! Pulpy art by the inimitable @phineas.bsky.social

We acknowledge that we are settlers on unceded Anishinaabe land and that Christopher Columbus was a terrible human being who should not be celebrated. Crown Lands should be given back. We are grateful to be here, thankful for our readers, & hopeful that authoritarians will be defeated soon.

We love you too! And we love using our own dang brains for publishing great stories. Get thee behind me, A.I.

One month before an election has us feeling some kind of way. It’s a mood. Tired of techbros and the one percent buying governments and need a world where they don’t win? We got you. Stories by @lilithsaintcrow.com, @jomiles.bsky.social, & @marissalingen.bsky.social. Out now wherever you buy books!

We’re turbo excited to announce our latest acquisition, KNIVES OF THE EMPRESS by @simonbest.bsky.social! Give him a follow, eh? Simon’s story is an action-packed tale that explores what it is to be a person (if you’re not born that way) and asks: How many mechs does it take to topple an empire?

We have an acquisition announcement heading your way tomorrow! Very excited. A new sci-fi title from us! Stay tuned! Or, you know. You can do other stuff too. Tacos sound good and there’s some hockey on. But check back here tomorrow!

A standalone adventure where the weeds are heroes. If you like alien ecology, family secrets, and a dash of fantasy in your sci-fi, this is for you!

Step right through this portal and see what happens when the garden comes to life! @jomiles.bsky.social wrote a banger here. Buy from us and get bonus goodies, but it’s also available wherever you buy books! Handy links to other vendors on our page: hornedlarkpress.com/product/the-...

Didn't get enough opinionated weapons from reading A DUBIOUS CLAMOR? Quench your thirst for the blood of the unrighteous--uh, tales about magic swords, your thirst for TALES ABOUT MAGIC SWORDS--with this @wiswell.bsky.social in @lightspeedmagazine.com : www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/cong...

Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

Vivid numbers in this overview of Illinois’s new Net Zero carbon plan: “improvements in air quality alone would lead to between 392 & 631 fewer premature deaths per year. That translates to between $8.8 and $13.8 billion in avoided healthcare costs & increased worker productivity.” #ShareGoodNewsToo

It could be your favorite too! Because it’s available now. Just sayin’

Today, as every day, is a great day not to use AI and to shun all work that uses it.

If ye have read any of our books—A DUBIOUS CLAMOR or THE FINAL CHRONICLE OF YENEH or COYOTE RUN—please take a second and leave a review somewhere? On whatever platform you bought it! Those little stars—that acknowledgment that someone read it and liked it—help tremendously! Thank you so much!
