Very much looking forward to @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social
in Brighton! I’ll be giving a reading between 6-7pm on Friday, signing books from 8-9:30, then moderating War Off the Battlefield on Sunday at 10am in the Edinburgh room. I’m excited to see friends and make new ones!

A successful and heartfelt book launch. A lot of impassioned folks came to support an impassioned project.
Canada is Not the 51st F**king State is now available @groovecat.bsky.social
I am wearing my Canadian outfit with my 🏳️‍🌈 Ally T-shirt underneath, to read from my essay.

Oh, and I had to bump the release of books four and five to the new year, so the ad is a bit wrong. 🙄

I will be signing copies of Gatekeeper’s Key at @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social at the end of the month! Supplies will be limited because I have to carry them around Scotland and Wales first. 😝 See you soon, Brighton!

An Indigenous artist, a retired soldier, a doctor and others make clear that Canada has too much going for it to capitulate to the delusions of a degenerate president looking to annex us.

Silly me… Her name is Caley Watts, and her music is terrific.

Krista Wallace (She/her) @kristawallace.bsky.social · 12d

Holy sh!t, disgusting behaviour from this politician. Disgraceful, indeed.

Krista Wallace (She/her) @kristawallace.bsky.social · 12d

Aha! I mucked about the spelling and found her!

Krista Wallace (She/her) @kristawallace.bsky.social · 12d

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social Could you please repeat the name of the songwriter whose song you just played? I think it was Kayleigh Watts? But the album you mentioned isn’t on her website. I would like to find it! Thanks! 😊

So Miriam gave me a lengthy reply, so I will send it to you via Messenger, if that works. They weren’t able to provide a blacksmithy-sort-of-word that might fit the bill for you, but I will share their response. 😊

“If you can give me an idea of what is being forged I can give you a better answer.”

Krista Wallace (She/her) @kristawallace.bsky.social · 19d

Answer: “That depends. Is it an item that is partway forged into a finished item? Or is it a piece of metal being forged into some sort of bar/ingot? (Which would ultimately be forged into an item)”

I will ask and get back to you!

It’s the Wheeties.

Agreed.

There are so many whelms out there it’s not surprising that a lot of them catch up to us once in a while. We need to turn around and point at them so they know we see them. “You can’t sneak up on me. I’ll get to you when I get to you.” I am feeling much the same.

Oh no 😟 I’m so sorry you’re in so much pain. I hope it eases for you. You are not failing.
