So @readercon is over but the nerding out about sff books continuing at @pandygamesma with a author panel with @AtGreenblatt @maxgladstone @Wiswell @scottlynch78 and @matociquala

I’m so happy to announce that my chapter on queer temporalities in @tithenai and @maxgladstone’s This is How You Lose the Time War is out! Thank you so much to the editors for their fantastic work, and to everyone who made this volume possible 🏳‍🌈🌟

@hauntedtable <3 It's a tremendous project! Congratulations on your achievement. I can't wait to get a table together (especially after the Binding Contract Sentence)

Was having a normal morning reading the newsletter of one of my favorite authors (@maxgladstone) when I saw this Triangle Agency shout-out! TA doesn't exist without the Craft Sequence, which reignited my love of reading (and then writing) almost a decade ago. I cried!

Not watched our interview with @maxgladstone yet? Here's a trailer to show you what you're missing... (Shout out to Lili for making this, I snort laughed when the music first played)

The stories of Conan are timeless, and filled with fantasy adventure that still hold up today. This is merely a tribute from me, but hopefully fans of Conan will enjoy the glimpse into his world as seen through my eyes! "The Tower of the Elephant" by Robert E. Howard.

@NBlakeEPPC @LeahLibresco @PTBwrites Nah, just me typing too fast!

@LeahLibresco @PTBwrites @maxgladstone Uh: "Eowyn’s (and Pippin’s) defeat of the Witch-King" Not sure if this is just an awkward error or some sort of meta reinforcement of the point.

Just saying...your inbox could like this, too, if you (a) subscribe to the New York Times ($6.25/week at the going rate) and (b) subscribe to EPPC's bi-weekly Family Policy Updates ($0, no matter how high inflation gets)

@DjangoWexler Jack Ryan wishes

An update for those outside the US who bought the ebook! It may have had more Jack Ryan than expected. The publisher pushed the wrong file, they're working on it and it should be fixed soon. You'll get an email prompting you to re-download!

making Twitter user Bigolas Dickolas proud and finally reading THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR @tithenai @maxgladstone

Happy day-after-release to @DjangoWexler's HOW TO BECOME THE DARK LORD AND DIE TRYING! I loved this book—funny, pacey, ir/reverent.

Last year @maxgladstone kindly recorded a super long interview with me. Life got in the way but the first 3 clips are now FINALLY live for all you lovely people to check out. Better late than never, right?? youtube.com/watch?v=mTUw5I…

@TheLincoln (you know, of the "keeping our salaries secret is one of the tools the man uses to keep us down!" sort)

@TheLincoln It would be interesting to write a book in which the narrator constantly surfaced this information, tagging every character with family background and salary and loan APR and whatnot, but... that's not how many USicans talk to each other absent explicit political agenda

@TheLincoln Ames and Katrina both almost certainly have student loans and salaries high enough that they don't think about them... Money in this book isn't absent, it's everywhere—though it's often unspoken, particularly in Ames's and Katrina's class contexts

@TheLincoln the central tension revolves around Katrina's determination not to sole-parent or raise the kid with Ames in a diad, Reese is a potential Mom because she loves kids and has no career to speak of—if she's not going to be a SAH mother she'll be close to it
