In this flier, a number of images are transposed over a background of stars and a green moon. The cover for This Brutal Moon is in the top left, with smaller covers of These Burning Stars and On Vicious Worlds in the bottom left. A photo of the author, wearing a gray sweater and smiling up at the camera, appears in the top right. The bottom right is divided into a triangle with the logo for Red Otter Coffee. Different text boxes across the flier read: "Local Author Event!" "December 5th @ 6:00!" "Book launch & signing!" "Cake! Coffee!" "3147 Delaware Ave Unit A, Buffalo, NY 14217." Award-winning trilogy!"

John, Alison, and stunt Liz @emilytesh.net are live from Novacon 54! We discuss the convention, what it’s like to be a Guest of Honour, parenting at cons and also whether or not John should read the Silmarillion. Listen here! octothorpe.podbean.com/e/148-i-m-wi...
Emily Tesh, John, and Alison stand in front of a suspiciously purple background which may indicate that the real background has been subtracted by nefarious photo editing. The words “Octothorpe 148 Live from Novacon” are overlaid.

This essay about Cinder House is definitely the most vulnerable, personal thing I've ever written; it took me over a year to get to the point where I wanted to tell this particular story. Thanks to @booktrib.bsky.social for giving it a home! 🏠🔥

So I wrote two books. both are set in London, in winter, in 2021. One is an alternate future history, a sparse love story where a spad and civil servant work on Brexit together and fall unwillingly in love; the other is a sports anime, a post-pandemic f/f romance. here they both are:
Book cover: Division Bells, by Iona Datt Sharma - an aesthetic-grid cover, with a violin, wine glass, collection of papers, tulips, image of Westminster over the Thames.

do I think M.T. Anderson's 'Nicked' feels like a Decemberists song because of its actual qualities [good!] or because of free-associating from Anderson's previous extremely good nonfic about the Siege of Leningrad, which is unrelatedly the subject of an extremely good Decemberists song

If New York elects Cuomo you are just not a serious city. Don't bother us with your little in-the-know New Yorkisms anymore. They are no longer cute. Learn to say "in line" like every other normal dipshit in this country who can't stop electing right wing Democrats.

My soft sci-fi novella, THE LEGEND LIMINAL, is out today from @starsandsabers.bsky.social! 💫

Climb into the camper van for a surreal roadtrip that slides out of time & reality. TLL is a story about grief, hope, and the shining lifeline of human connection.

The cover of the book features a camper van driving on a road shaped like an infinity symbol, in front of a vaporwave-style sunset.
