Pinned post time! :D I am a scientist and author based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada -- I write about gods, monsters, magic, science, and people running in circles screaming "WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS IT DON'T LET IT TOUCH ME"

My Bookstore bookshop is here! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH to the people who came to tonight's event! It was cold! The roads were slippery and horrible! IT WAS SNOWING. AND THERE YOU WERE ANYWAY. ENJOY YOUR SWAG, MY LOYAL BESTIES

Also THANK YOU @breetaylor0.bsky.social the bestest conversation partner!

Anyway at least my necklace looks cute (tis an unspecified theropod skull but I like to think because I am Albertan it is an Albertasaurus)

Anyway I have a book thing tonight and my face is like "What if I look UNUSUALLY TERRIBLE with FLAKES and HUGE PAINFUL ZITS" and I'm like "I have a plan"

(The plan is to wear my contact lenses so I can distract with sparkly eye makeup)

Excuse my unmade bed but I was like "Hmmm haven't seen the cats for a bit" "I wonder if the kitten ate Fiasco"

They were both in the bedroom, which had all the lights off, like this

Suspicious?? In cahoots?? Scheming???

Excuse me @gianttourtiere.bsky.social your client just sneezed, looked accusingly at the other resident of the house, then at me

Is his argument really that he has become ALLERGIC to cats and therefore I must remove the co-resident at this time

UHHHHHHHHH this is a hard question uhhh

Maybe MOST representative and accurate is THE SIEGE OF BURNING GRASS (Solaris, 2024)? I don't know if it's my best book but it's still my most 'me' book.
Creators: if someone asked you which project of yours best represents you as a creator, which one would you recommend and why?

Happy (?) Friday! Today is a good day to read the BSFA-award-longlisted (twice!) ONE MESSAGE REMAINS -- four stories of resistance, malicious compliance, myth, and tradition in a world not quite like our own.

One Message Remains by Premee Mohamed | Psychopomp
In One Message Remains you'll find three brand new stories set in the morally ambiguous world of war and magic first encountered in The General's Turn.

Since people are asking if they can do something for me, here is a short thread. I'm clearly going to be laid up for a lot longer.

Any publicists, event organisers or podcast hosts who've felt a bit frustrated when an author doesn't reply to your lovely email - please bear in mind that recently we've all been bombarded by so many weird, sycophantic AI scam emails that every message feels a bit Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Well I got no clue what’s going on with this one other then It’s very cool and this is why you need to pick up creative hobbies such as building fighting robots that you shoot with this thing. If your into VFX it maybe worth a watch #reference

I have fully changed my opinion re: novels, they are terrible, actually the most terriblest, if you ever hear me even suggest writing another novel you must immediately smother me in a large blob of amber and then step back and watch me deservedly struggle and finally perish

Shout-out to the time I showed up to my next Zoom meeting with my display name as the barbarian halfling I had played in the TTRPG session in my previous meeting ('Eric Humblebrag')
Welp I just logged into a work meeting over zoom with my name still displaying as my Trandoshan bounty hunter from @gianttourtiere.bsky.social’s Star Wars game, that was the fastest I’ve ever changed my settings
