People these editions are so fantastic. The hardest part is deciding whether to shelve them with or without dust jackets. Incredible stamped leather? Beautiful alternate cover art? A conundrum of the highest order.

In House of Dragons and Game of Thrones, how do the dragon riders control their dragons? They've got handlebars and reins and none of it makes sense in the air. These aren't sapient dragons; they're just smart animals.

New indie book rec, friends! Bounty Inc. by @adamholcombe.bountyink.com Take a nepo clone of Jango Fett but make him the newbiest of newbs starting up a bounty hunter business. This book was so much fun and you need to check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmU4...

Every few weeks, I am reminded of the word 'concatenate' and I have to re-process my grief over the fact that it doesn't mean 'to add more cats'.

I like books. I like lists. I like lists of books. I curate booklists on @bookshop.org so that you can find your next great read and support your local independent bookstore (or support me if you’re feeling nasty). #BookSky

May the Fourth be with you! I will always love Star Wars, and it's also my wedding anniversary. Double celebration.

Next Tuesday, 5/5, we've got Singing Hills #7, A LONG AND SPEAKING SILENCE! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The actual dream

Why is it so common for actual medical offices to call me then say they can't tell me why they called me until I verify personal information? They have to realize that reads like a scam call.

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

I don't know if the assassination attempt was staged or not but I do know that Donald Trump is mentioned more than 38,000 times in the Epstein files… So, let’s talk about that. 😎✨

Two months ago a mass shooting left four dead and fifteen wounded here in Austin as a direct result of the war in Iran. Most of you never even heard about it. Last night a man rushed security a floor away from a room full of journalists hobnobbing with fascists. ENDLESS coverage. Fuck ALL of this.

The amount of nonsense we say to our cats while working...

But will anything change?

Wtf timeline is this.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

I might be more excited about this one than my wife is (she's the artist and animation geek). Magic discover story with Ann Perkins as the mom? Hell yes

Who's got a recent writing victory they want to share? I don't care how small. I need something to cheer for.

I should do a giveaway here too! I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.

Let's be absolutely clear. Whether Donald Trump is currently suffering from cognitive decline, a loss of mental capacity, dementia or any other mental or physical disorder, he was NEVER, at any point, fit to be president of the United States.

Happy Easter! Does anyone still say Zombie Jesus Day? That always made me laugh. And made me want to write a book about a resurrected Messiah figure who turned out to just be the first zombie.

Why is anyone okay with the way this guy talks? Someone explain it to me. It feels so weird for the progressive block to be doing the tone policing. Decorum is usually a tool of the status quo. Except now "sane, kind society trying to get better at those two things" is the SQ we want to preserve.

It's Caturday right?

That feeling when you wake up late and feeling not especially rested, but at least it's because you were up late making good progress on the book.

Is there an alt text competition somewhere?

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

If this is you, I want you to know that the amount per work is very likely to be > $3000. Half that if you're splitting with your publisher.

It's Friday. For most, impending weekend. For me, a regular day. Nevertheless, I am resolved to make substantial progress on dragon behavior research. Might also look into homemade kombucha. What weekend projects are you working on, writing or otherwise?

Let's not have new Firefly, animated or otherwise.

Another week about to start. Who is judging writing goals with plenty of other obligations? What are you hoping to achieve? I'll give you that always-incredibly-valuable general statement of internet stranger support!

Happy Friday the 13th to ALL GOALIES, not just Jason.

When does the winning start?

On today's episode of "I didn't get enough sleep to do my job, handle family medical appointments, and write fiction..." I miss the days when I didn't understand my father's complaints about not having enough hours in the day.

Just to be clear, I will never send you an email telling you I'm a fellow author and want to connect because...*checks notes*... I'm not an author. Still haven't written this damn book.

I wonder if there's any overlap between my writer/reader circle on this platform and my new tinned fish hobby.

The saltine is just the perfect cracker. When do you ever need a different kind?

It is Monday again. What devious machinations will I employ today to find no time to write?

This guy definitely has cover art strategy down. No way I could walk/scroll past these and not take a look.

It's spring Yall might see mice in the house I get the instinct to get rid of them - diseases n such Please don't use poison Mice will flee. Usually outside. Trying to get away Fox, owls, snakes, as well as dogs and cats will eat them They can easily die from rat poison exposure Pls no

Cool series. Worth checking out if you like giant sky serpents and aerial combat.

One of those fun weekends where your sibling is in the hospital for no apparent reason and then is discharged despite no understanding of what happened. But hey, at least it's snowing.
