if you were a fan of my novel THE CHAIN this is a pretty f exciting news... 🥲🥲🥲

@RoboftheHayes This site has just become so much worse. I miss normal Twitter from 12-15 years ago

Anyone else remember when SM was all pictures of cats, or food, or weird chain statuses claiming if you didn't share it with 100 people within a day a figure skater would eat your mother? Now it's all manufactured outrage and politics. I miss the fun.

A little weird that a Guy Ritchie movie starring Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal is coming out next week and nobody is talking about it

COVER REVEAL!! A deluxe edition of The Dragonbone Chair by @tadwilliams arrives Sept 29, 2026 from @dawbooks. Sprayed edges, premium effects, Whelan art, and a new intro.

Ugh @netflix, you hit close to 2.9 billion from Paramount. Why are you ending this amazing show so soon? The showrunners have mentioned that they wish to adapt all the books which have been published & can also script an original ending. Why the shitty behaviour in canning it???

Using a combination of ball tracking, shot data, and biomechanics for the first time, I try to illuminate the methods and dynamics behind Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Was great fun writing this, first time delving into batting technique. Please read and share! espncricinfo.com/story/why-vaib…

In case you missed it, I wrote a short guide to publishers and money: gabinoiglesias.substack.com/p/publishers-a…

hi, I’m Aparna and I wrote an Indian inspired scifi fantasy with a firebending queen and women whose hair cut through steel. so if you like Dune, ATLA, and female rage, would you consider picking up The Ravence Trilogy? 🫶🏽

BIG NEWS!!! I’m so honored that @Grimdark_Mag has brought me on as the Publishing Project Manager for their SFF novella line! I love what GdM does, and the team is brimming with amazing, talented people, so I couldn’t be happier to join them and help push the novellas forward.

I think Melissa Barrera is a good person with good intentions who got caught in a bad situation. She's very clearly hurting. It's wrong to attack her. It's wrong to attack people who did participate in Scream 7. We're all just doing our best to navigate a morally complex world.

We’re reviewing The Last Contract of Isako, a standalone sci-fi story with a gripping mystery set in a harsh colony world that's just barely surviving. Thanks @orbitbooks for the ARC! fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com/2026/05/review…

Great interview with a great guy, Bob Odenkirk, who was unforgettable in BREAKING BAD; its sequel, BETTER CALL SAUL; and his NOBODY films. He’s also a published poet. nytimes.com/2026/04/25/mag…

A Captain America sequel that's also an Avengers movie and kind of an Iron Man movie and introduces a new Spider-Man and also the first live-action Black Panther sounds like a mess, but 10 years later, Captain America: Civil War remains impressive as hell ign.com/articles/10-ye…

Seconding this take, the Troy trilogy by David & Stella Gemmell is an incredible story that utilizes the Trojan story and tells an incredible story of characters, passion and differentiating right from wrong

@FletcherMR Can’t wait to back this and complete the trilogy 🙂

WOOOOOO! The SHE DREAMS IN BLOOD Insanity Editions will be shipping in the next two weeks! It's time to get the KS campaign ready for book 3! If you missed the first two campaigns, everything will be available. Hit that Notify Me on Launch button! kickstarter.com/projects/black…
