Book mail! Looking forward to reading VAN BOYLE by my friend Nathan Leslie!
A book cover featuring an old wooden farmhouse, which is falling down, with a collapsed roof. It is surrounded by large round bales of hay. A few trees are behind the house. The ground in front of the house has a little green grass but it turns into mud and standing water near the bottom of the image. The words "Van Boyle" and "Nathan Leslie" are centered in yellow text. At the bottom of the image, the words "Texture Press" appear in yellow.

Annual reposting - 1986 Thanksgiving Incident! Hope it makes you smile.
mynachang.bsky.social Myna Chang @mynachang.bsky.social · Nov 28
🧵 My annual re-posting of the 1986 Thanksgiving Incident in the little farmtown where I grew up.

Long thread, like, 40 posts? If you make it to the end, you'll understand why I am wishing you a loud Sammy Hagar holiday.

My kiddo met up w/high school friends yesterday for their 1st reunion since going off to freshman year of college. Seemed like a tame get-together…which reminded me of the T’giving Party (police called it an Incident) that occurred in my little hometown when I was his age.

it's that time of the year again!

this award season, i want to highlight a story that was very difficult for me to write, but i am glad is out there. you can read or listen to Mavka by following the link below. thank you @yelenacrane.bsky.social for the narration!
a photograph of a lined piece of paper with a black marker pen and words "Mavka, PseudoPod 963 available in audio. Link below" written in terrible handwriting. typed text reads: eligible for most things. this is the most Ukrainian thing I've written and it is not a happy story. heed the content warnings.

Welcome to Day 10 of our look back through the TTL 2025 archive and All These Inscriptions Are For Me by @carolscheina.bsky.social a story of the books inscribed to Paula - but a Paula who has lived a very different life.
I was strolling past a shelf full of “Careers you won’t regret,” when I felt a jolt, like something had zapped my shoulders and demanded that I stop there. My gaze fixed on a red spine with black letters declaring The Joys of Accounting. When I touched it, a tingle raised hairs on my arms. I pulled it out and opened to the first page, where I saw the inscription: “Good luck, Paula! You’re going to wow all your professors. I’m so proud of you. Love, Mom.” “Huh, same name as me,” I thought. All These Inscriptions Are For Me Carol Sheina

My debut novel I’M THE UNDERTOW is now up on Netgalley!

It’s a story about guilt, grief and the unexpected places we go to find redemption.

Request away! 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️

#netgalley #fiction #debut @netgalley.bsky.social
Book on a brown table. The book is dark blue with various curvy lines (shades of blue and beige) weaving throughout. The title in the middle reads I’M THE UNDERTOW. The author’s name at an angle in the bottom right corner reads Eric Scot Tryon.

The collection's cover is here! And a newer release date! I’m in love with this design—the watercolor texture, the way it expresses how deeply this collection inhabits the Sonoran Desert and how collage-like these stories are in their styles and sizes. Can’t wait to share the book with everyone.
