Anyway I keep forgetting to yell about this book when it is 🍂seasonal 🍂 but THE APPLE-TREE THRONE (a little vanity project I self-pubbed in 2018) is also available on Kobo and in audio!

A young soldier returned from war is haunted by the ghost of his commanding officer (a posh git)

It occurred to me today that I can publish anything I want, so please look forward to a reprint of a pamphlet about a Civil War riot.

Do you ever think "I need a book where queer cowgirls riding dinosaurs battle against medieval LARPer authoritarianism?" Well I have a book for you: Jennifer Lee Rossman's Allosaurus in Wonderland. Coming in December.

frombeyondpress.com/books/allosa...

Image depicts the cover of Allosaurus in Wonderland by Jennifer Lee Rossman. An androgynous character holds a sword aloft from the back of a dinosaur.

There is a universe just beside our own, a waystation for people and animals who stumble out of their own timeline. Some are trapped there, others choose to stay, but each and every one of them has a part to play in its future. From cowgirls riding dinosaurs to medieval espionage plots, D.B. Cooper to Amelia Earhart, these interconnected stories weave the tapestry of Avalonia. So what are you waiting for? Adventure awaits just beyond that portal…

Cover art by Thea Oatman.

Props to Benjamin for sharing the details of his contract. Unfortunately no props to MRM because there's a lot of extremely outre stuff in here that I'd refuse to sign. Let's run it down. (Context: If you're negotiating a contract with Strange Horizons, I'm the person you're negotiating with.)

New neuroscience short story forthcoming in @analogsf.bsky.social! Which also means a story of - ultimately successful - negotiations with their new publisher.

Includes full final text of my contract for all to use while they finish rewriting their boilerplate.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

This reminds me of when @laurelhightower.bsky.social said "most people don't know what a charnel house smells like." Well, now they can.
