I have a new book out today! It's a Sapphic steampunk western adventure about the dashing Karen Memery riding to the rescue as Annie Oakley's stunt double in a beleaguered early movie!
Happy book day, Bear! I have read Angel Maker and adore it.
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has died, and her sister needs help.
And happy book day to Elizabeth Bear's ANGEL MAKER! Karen Memory rides again!
Thank you!
Congrats to both of you!!
I hope Achilles got a nap
It's a thing. ❤️
Happy book birthday to @matociquala.bsky.social! Karen Memory was a great ride in a steam-punk alternate history Seattle, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next!
I'm so sorry for your loss
Book two is called Stone Mad. They reach stand alone but there are spoilers for earlier books in later ones!
This book is madcap, inventive, thoughtful, and so so funny. I highly recommend.
There us a gofundme to help her sister pay final costs. www.gofundme.com/f/6n9tz-supp...
The brilliant Horror Grandmaster Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has left us at 83. Thank you for everything.
Yeah. If you're very, very lucky you get one of those in a lifetime. If you're Ursula K. Le Guin, of course, you get maybe four.
Aaaaaaahhhh!!! Congratulations!!! I adore this series! What a perfect gift to readers for Sapphic September! Really, go out, pick up this book, and treat yourself to a wonderful read. If you haven't started the series yet, I'm so excited for you to meet these incredible characters
Her name is spelled Memery, but the book is spelled Memory
Happy book day!!!
I've just been reminded of the time the wonderful @tkingfisher.com said lovely things about Peter S. Beagle and The Last Unicorn so this is a day when I have to remind you that that book is ice and fairy wings and lilacs and the death of everything and if you have not read it you absolutely should.
Very excited for Angel Maker! I really loved Karen Memory for its take on steampunk (it focuses on the marginalized, while also having all the great steampunk machines) and I can't wait to dive into the world again.

IT'S BOOOK DAYYYYYYY (and the crowd goes wild) A long-awaited return to Rapid City and the world of Karen Memory! www.patreon.com/posts/137115...
Absolutely
Much much improved
My head has stopped pounding with hunger. (My entire previous caloric intake for the day had been an orange juice, 2 liters of lactated ringers', and 2 graham crackers.) 12 hours in the ED. @scottlynch78.bsky.social is the best spouse. Feel almost human. Going to bed.
Had an incredible Italian dinner at a restaurant called Double Zero in Druid Hills, which absolutely sounds like a fantasy computer game region. Peach pizza and caccio e pepe and pizza diavolo and a garlic knot you would sell your soul for.
Plot bunny for book 4
Lololsob
Yes!! Yeah, I did not stay up past midnight. We old
No thank you, but thank you!
I know right? Sorry we didn't get to hang more.
Lactic acid and wbc coming down so I'm not septic and they're gonna give me one more liter of ringers and turn me loose.
😱🥶😱🥶😱🥶😱🥶
I'm old
Roger that!
Holes, not hours
Thank you so much!!! I haven't had this many hours in me since my surgery
I also told him about @nkjemisin.bsky.social @maryrobinettekowal.com and @marthawells.com. One has to hit, right?
They have to special order it from Ingram but should be able to if you email
Steven the nurse is a Scott Lynch fan, so we just had a nice conversation about why he should look into @franwilde.bsky.social's THE PHILOSOPHY OF THIEVES
Feeling well enough to sit up and watch science videos on YouTube. Thank you @hankgreen.bsky.social @scishow.bsky.social @pbs.org Maiya May!
This Must-Have Monday I have THIRTEEN new books for you! Incl 🍄 trans fungal horror by @bitterkarella.bsky.social! 🐎 sapphics + unridable horses from @matociquala.bsky.social! 🌹 roses coming up through skin with @tanaudel.bsky.social!
Yay!!!
Anyway please pre-order my book that comes out tomorrow. books2read.com/b/angelmaker
Plot twist: I'm in an ED in lovely Decatur Georgia waiting for rehydration and antibiotics because my fucking post-surgical mastitis flared up at 4 am and I currently have the bloodwork of somebody who spent four days hiking 6-8 miles a day around Atlanta in August and drinking beer. #cancer
TOMORROW!! TOMORROW! Pre-order now!
I have to say, having lost a Dragon Award to @mattdinniman.bsky.social was a very great pleasure. He's a delight!
I lost, but I love the work I lost to so it's all good!
... you can get white bread anywhere.
I believe in you!
That!
Book claimed!! Thank you Dragon Con!
I had a panel to get to.
MODERN MILLIE in Salem MA! They're fabulous and have a great online presence!
Hey #DragonCon! First person to find me this morning gets a free signed and personalized (if you like) copy of The Folded Sky! I'm heading to the Hyatt for a quick breakfast and then I will be waiting in line for Scott's 10 am David Gemmell panel in Marriott L401! I'm a redhead wearing this!
I'm totally not anxious about The Folded Sky being up for a #DragonAward today! Totally! Slept like a baby! A colicky baby. Anyway, voting is over so it's all in Schrödinger's hands now!
🤛
Next time I'm going to add, "You should be ashamed."
Thank you!!
Guess so! Gonna work it!
Precisely
Yes, they're the antithesis of generic
Yes indeed
Atlanta. I'm at Dragon Con!
❤️ Yes, I am a woman in a skirt with long hair and a wedding ring. Also, fuck you, you antisocial fuck.
I like it.
I stare at name tags because I am face blind and have a terrible memory.
I hope he wakes up at 2am wracked by shame.
There are homophobic street preachers outside the Westin. Apparently I've achieved full Auntie, because one approached me with his bullshit literature. I turned my head slowly and looked at him with resting bitch face, no words. He recoiled, backpedaled, and said "you just had to say no thank you!"
Oh shit!!
"...the reputation of a thing is always, by necessity, less complex and interesting than the thing itself." An excellent essay, and one I'll be thinking about a lot the next time I discuss intertextuality with students.
Yay!!
Thank you!!
Gillian Redfearn did the line and structural edit, should you happen to be Hugo nominating!
Thank you!
I've slipped into another dimension. #dragoncon

Up, showered, hungry, and about to make a dash for my first panel hotel for breakfast before the parade starts! #dragoncon Catch me in Embassy CD at the Hyatt at 10 am if for some reason you're checking bluesky at Dragon Con!
Sunya is a little inaccurate. He's also a fucking goblin.
Oh yeah, he was not amused
Thank you so much!!
Went to bed at a reasonable (convention) hour last night but wow, Dragon Con is definitely living up to its reputation of being an all night raver. First panel at 1 pm today and I should definitely figure out the lay of the land and get some food soon.
Seriously, Gloria, WTH.

Loool
But is it an ebonite feed?
Dragon Con does the right thing.
Thank you so much for the prompt and honorable response!
On a plane. Gonna use that drink ticket.
Our equipment is finally here!!
Fairly! But you know, say hi if you see us around!
The crying babies have arrived. Might be time to find a different unscheduled gate.
@dragoncon.org C'mon, why are your disability services people doing this? This is horrible.
Four hours into our hopefully only-five-hour residence at BWI. Wishing I had finished my beer at lunchtime.
Left, right, and center
Woohoo. :/
Wonder where the bottles are made and the honey comes from.
