We have traveled to Day 13 of TTL's story reading party and have found How To Fail At Book-Smuggling (Across Several Timelines At Once) by @emlinden.bsky.social where it is only after the captain dies that the crew start to question if the cross-time book-smuggling is actually harmless
None of us, not even Robbie, knew what we were signing up for at first. If Cloud had said (and this is the short version): Listen, do you want a job on my time-ship? We’ll mostly be stealing books from folk, then selling them back a few years later at an eye-watering, economy-melting profit, and by the way, we’ll kill anyone who tries to stop us? Well, maybe I’d have said yes and maybe no, but at least I’d have had the choice. How To Fail At Book Smuggling (Across Several Timelines At Once) E M Linden

My #SFF curations get more traction, but I'm primarily a nonfiction author. During #nonfictionnovember, I'm spotlighting this output. Starting with #books. This sociocultural guide to deities was a crazy endeavour of telling the stories of 60, I'm delighted with its wide and lasting impact. 1/

Each day, I add fresh, new skins to the outer layer of the Peony of Tangerine Peels, until the inner peel erupts in fungus, and we begin again.

A generation ship’s mission has failed and now there’s not enough infrastructure to support the crew. Heavy and intense.

Five days and a lot of wood glue later. (Yes, we fixed that "zinc" roof) Half-way mark. Or 37.4pct. Who knows?

And yes, I know the novella market has changed and awards focus is on novellas that appear as standalone books from medium to large publishers but I (obviously) still love publishing and reading novellas as meaty offerings in magazines and anthologies and I hope enough people still do too.

👾 The fabulous @elianeboey.bsky.social and @meganflchee.bsky.social are somehow even more fabulous in person. Wandering through Chinatown talking books, history and culture over dinner and desserts was 💯

👾 Sing Lit Station with its amazing bookish cocktails and great conversations!
L-R: Phong Quan, Megan Chee, me, and Yudhanjaya Wijeratne seated around a table with drinks on it. In the background are other folks at the party. We are indoors, and there’s a closed glass window on the white wall behind us. L-R: Ng Yi-Sheng, Yudhanjaya Wijeratne, a lovely lady whose name I didn’t catch in all the buzz of conversation, Phong Quan, Megan Chee, and I. We are seated around a table with drinks on it. In the background are other folks at the party, and shelves with various electronics. Eliane Boey and I in close-up. I’m wearing a green-patterned shirt, my hair is shoulder length, and I have my glasses on. Eliane is wearing a blue and purple patterned shirt. We’re both smiling. Desserts! Three bowls of dessert—one is a custard with red soya beans and lotus seeds, the other is jelly with mango cubes, and the third is a mango pudding with sago and mango chunks.
