Relatedly, was browsing the (very excellent) shelves at my in-laws’ house this morning and came upon an old Ace Double (Vance x2). I’m glad Saga isn’t trying to bring back the cigarette ads.

Great to catch @sentencebender.bsky.social and @maryrobinettekowal.com (via video) at Spotty Dog in Hudson last night, reading from Red Star Hustle and Apprehension (the two halves of their new Saga Double)!

All of which is to say we've got an amazing group of people working on something pretty special, and if you or that especially discerning nerd in your life wants in, this is the time 🌛

My pal @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social is a brilliant writer, and he's doing some of his best work yet for these books. I can't wait for folks to explore these deranged and visionary territories.

I'm especially excited to get to work with so many amazing artists on these next two volumes. Here are two character backgrounds from the Codex—the Ruined Noble and the Conclave Novitiate—illustrated by @amandalee.bsky.social

Weird time when an email like this does nothing but fill me with dread. Like, oh great, what have you done to make this software I rely on more terrible, exploitative, or worse for the environment?

It can be hard to feel celebratory these days, but today I turned in a new book, my last book won a not insignificant literary award, and just now a nice box of the forthcoming paperback edition appeared on my doorstep. So, yeah, tonight I'm going to do a little celebrating.

So happy to report that The Naming Song has won the Massachusetts Book Award for fiction.
Grateful to the judges for including my work in such excellent company, to the booksellers and librarians for their support, and to the woods and weird corners of Massachusetts for always being close.

Love this (SPOILERY!) bit from the Weapons wikipedia page.
Plenty of stories of directors keeping things from performers in order to shock a reaction out of them. But a director inviting a performer to keep something secret from THEM is a powerful kind of trust.
