Eeee! Putting the gang back together
Lots of guest announcements to come starting with an author we love - Ruth Frances Long/ Jessica Thorne who writes romance and fantasy from the heart which often strays into weird and wonderful liminal places.

At my first @octocon.bsky.social panel of the day (I know, I know, it's 4pm but I have been having a blast sitting behind the @norncon.bsky.social table)
@pauljholden.com and @mikeowencarroll.bsky.social are being delightfully chaotic, and @paulcarroll.bsky.social is gleefully enabling them.
