Pssst! If Highland historical fiction is your thing, I recently released “Black Doe”, a historical fantasy set in Iron Age Scotland - especially good if you’re a fan of gritty, epic, female-led fantasy, and like kelpies, vicious faeries and grounded magic. 📚🩵🦌🗡️🩸🖤 #booksky amzn.eu/d/0h5FMPDs

It's hard to believe but Democrats ran for decades against the "Bush tax cuts" and then made most of them permanent. Then ran against the "Trump tax cuts" and then didn't repeal them either.

NE Ohio friends looking for their next banger read are in luck: Viridian Bookshop in Willoughby restocked both chapters in my Deadlights Duology! Viridian is real special & provides not just great stories but a beautiful community. I'm looking forward to many more visits. Support local bookstores!

I really need to point out that the last point is essential. They want you miserable. Being happy is THE ONLY WAY you'll be able to do the rest. Also, being happy does not mean to not be angry. Be happy AND angry

this is very "oh my god, he admit it" re the gendered dynamics around AI

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

Sold 23 books today, Jim Carrey would be pleased

Great time at The Viridian Bookshop today meeting readers new and old. I always underestimate how rejuvenating doing these events are. Talking to readers and book lovers feels like coming home. Thanks for having me!

HOLY MOLY I'm in the Observer!!!!!!!!!!

Happening tomorrow! I have a very special feeling returning home to downtown Willoughby as an author. I swear I spent more time at the library than I did at home most summers. Now my books are in the library. Crazy.

Okay, looking for books publishing between January and April of 2027. Thrillers, mystery, horror, science fiction, literary fiction, true crime, etc. Your own and books you’re excited about. Go!

Pathetic, childish, terminally online internet and influencer culture "strength" versus actual, grounded, timeless, human strength. From my latest column: ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/22/d...

FRIENDS: recommend some trans-authored books (including yours!) in the comments! And if you've never read a book by a trans person, browse the comments and you may find your next great read. No time like the present to stick it to the pieces of shit who think we ought neither to be seen or heard

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

500 more words to go in this short story, but they're the most important 500 words: the ending

My upcoming festive cozy horror novella: Adopted has its first ARC review and what a review it is! No greater joy than seeing a reader fly through the book in one day. #BookSky #CozyHorror #Horror

Angie and I are usually on the same page movie wise but HOPE delightfully divided us. She gave it a 4/10 while mine's a 7/10. I can't even disagree with her critiques, it's just that the flaws kinda made me like it more. What a high-octane, weird, wild, and idiosyncratic film.

In one week I'm taking my talents not to Miami but to Viridian Bookshop in my hometown Willoughby! NE Ohio friends, if you're available between 11am and 2pm next Sunday, join us for a fun time of book discussion, author Q&A and a store scavenger hunt to win of a signed copy of Dweller in Darkness.

This is the height of comedy

Billionaires get mad at things that can't be bought, like talent. Surely they should be able to write books and perform music and have mathematical insights just as well as the talented -- they're rich! If we let them dismiss and devalue real talent, we're going to pay a big price.

This is a great thread. Btw I'm *constantly* having to tell non-authors that book tours are Not A Thing for most authors (if they are, the author either hires PR/teams OR does it all themselves). Anyway, this is good on the current realities, which can be tough (but I do really like what I do also)

The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

"I'm protecting the books, boss."

We sat down with bestselling authors Tad Williams and George R. R. Martin to discuss the impact of Williams' first series (MEMORY, SORROW, AND THORN) on the fantasy landscape in 1988 🌟 Watch the full video on YouTube: buff.ly/23zfTDn

The acid test for me is a simple one: Has my professional and/or creative life benefited in any material way from "AI," and very specifically generative "AI"? No, it hasn't. Has it been negatively impacted by the same? Yup, in a whole bunch of ways. My professional life is worse now for it.

I mean look at this. Slide 1: "technological benefits" vs "the environmental, social, societal, economic, democratic and ethical impacts for humans and the planet" call me a luddite but I'm struggling to see in what possible way the former could outweigh the *entire shopping list* of the latter.

For the evening crowd.
