Sometimes, you reach out to your writing heroes and sometimes, they reach back. Despite a book release/tour, fabulous fabulist & keeper of the uncanny, Karen Russell wrote back, read & loved AUDITION FOR THE FOX.

I'd say pinch me, but I don't want to wake up. Preorder now! @tachyonpub.bsky.social
Quote from Karen Russell for Audition for the Fox by Martin Cahill, orange type on a starry background. Quote says in full "‘But for myself, I can say this: the Fox is many things.’ Martin Cahill has created a wondrous, time-traveling, shape-shifting fable that was just what I needed to read. I loved traveling with Nesi and growing wiser alongside her. Cahill has a trickster's gift for storytelling and a poet's sorcerous attunement to language." —Karen Russell, Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Swamplandia & author of The Antidote

Finally got to give @voiceofobrien.bsky.social an advance copy of my book, mirror monster dagger doom — and got to tell him how it only exists because of a chat we had years ago about storytelling. ALWAYS meet your heroes, especially when they’re as wonderful as Liam. Ever thankful, always a treat.

I emerge from edit hell with “3 reasons why you should read my upcoming short story collection” —

- Do you like sorcerer ex-boyfriends getting back together?
- Do you like shapechanger demons with bitchy warlock wards?
- Do you like World-Ending Wizard Hubris?

This book might be for you! 👀

There’s been a fair bit of speculation in the Critical Role fandom about what comes next. I recently got a chance to put this million dollar question to 4 of the 8 founding cast members: Are you stepping down?

Critical Role's founders are over a decade into the nerdworld business — and they're finally answering the big question of succession
The show's eight cofounders started streaming on Twitch back in March 2015, and celebrated their tenth anniversary this year.

If you just started following me — hello! I’m a news editor for @businessinsider.com and you’re probably here because I’m the site’s Critical Role/Dimension 20/nerdworld/gaming writer…

On a more serious note, I welcome solid pitches about the business, especially “dream jobs” in TTRPG/AP/gaming.

Recently, I got to ask 4 of @criticalrole.bsky.social’s cofounders about how they’ve managed to keep things running for a decade/ not break up the band. Their advice on how to work with your friends was super sweet. 🖤

Happy 10 years, Critical Role! ✨
