I’m blocking File770 and will not be sharing anything from that site or visiting anymore. I support Paul. JDA is a known harasser and I will not give my time or attention to a place that platforms him.

You can still help.

I’m sorry, but I think that the devil’s solo was better than Johnny’s in The Devil Went Down to Georgia. #isaidwhatisaid

My Thieves Guild epic fantasy serial podcast just passed 900,000 plays on Spotify. It’s a labor of love but real labor. The pace requires me to essentially write a novel every two months. The fact that so many people love it is both humbling and mind-boggling. I’m so appreciative.

Eating at the chef’s table in a new restaurant in New Orleans in 1991 and being regaled by its up-and-coming chef named Emerille Lagasse.

Truly one of the most wonderfullest people in SFF publishing.

It's been a wonderful six years! Wendy will be dearly missed. 💖 To paraphrase her: "For someone who edited a magazine called NIGHTMARE, working with her was actually a dream."

For the last year and a half, I have been harassed by Emily Bell, also known as E.D.E. Bell, of Atthis Arts. I naively thought her harassment and false accusations would stop, but I was wrong. I'm now done being silent about this. www.patreon.com/jasonsanford...

This just popped up in my photo memories. Three years ago I returned to my alma mater, Kenyon College, for a visit. Here I am at the college station that laid the foundation for my crazy music career: WKCO.

I think Equinoxe is better than Oxygene. I said what I said.

Nice to see The Scum Kings podcast is back.

Nice. @talkwordy.bsky.social is on the front page of Reddit. AGAIN.

I haven't seen anything like this in 30+ years in Texas: Went to vote in the primaries, and the line for the Democratic primary was 75x as long as the few Republicans that were bothering to vote in their primary.

Folks at @boskone.bsky.social tomorrow: at 6:30 in Independence, I'll be reading my short story "Excerpts from the Unauthorized Autobiography of Benjamin Brick", recently of @morningtransport.bsky.social It's one of my favorites, and links nicely with the Saturday panel on brains in jars...

Mine was Star Wars. Nothing since then has approached the absolute awe of watching the Star destroyer in the opening scene just get bigger and bigger and bigger. I can’t explain just how mind-blowing that actually was for me.

Here's the very cool cover for my forthcoming, all original anthology All Hallows Eve, being published by Titan Sepember 8th. You can pre-order it here. titanbooks.com/72783-all-ha...

Hey all, for the first time in over two years, we took a short break on The Thieves Guild. The podcast will be back on Monday. I know, THREE DAYS OFF! We're clearly slacking.

Sad news. Such a great songwriter and an amazing vocalist.

I don't think I could love London Grammar any more than I do. Such lovely music.

Guess what's out today: www.skyhorsepublishing.com/978194910278...
