Unfortunately small presses close all the time, and their baby bird books need to find a new nest. My fledgling sun-vampire queer cannibal novella, SUNBATHERS, now needs a new home, as does my sapphic pirate novella QUEEN O'NINE TAILS.

If you know a toothy little home for either, please hit me up!

Uttech is facing what other residents in his town -- and others around the country -- are facing more and more: the risk of losing parts of his land to eminent domain, ... in support of the growing expansion of AI data centers as the demand to power them continues to grow.

never forget that Heated Rivalry was made in part thanks to government arts grants.
I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

Fun idea for school librarians. For the past couple years I've offered book bundles over winter, spring, & summer break for students and faculty/staff. They fill out a quick, easy Reader's Advisory form & I pull 3 books for them. I check out to their accounts then wrap the books and hand deliver. 1/

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

One week until the release of Iron Garden Sutra by @thesuiway.bsky.social ! Don’t sleep on this one. Intergalactic funeral rites monk enters a long lost ship to perform post mortem rites for the dead. But, oops, something eerie is happening on this ship. I was glued to the page. 🖤

Send me your reviews!

And we're a volunteer team, but if you're interested in narrating (and have a pro setup), let me know -- particularly Global Majority folks!
✨Also starting this year, Orion’s Belt is expanding! We’ll be opening for reviews and launching a Podcast series featuring narrated stories and poems, followed by interviews with their authors!! Our wonderful Editor @jennahanchey.bsky.social will oversee both projects! 🎙🔥

this is a BEAUTIFUL novella.
I wrote a novella called Death Valley Blooms about an aro/ace woman trying to break her family's curse--each of the women are pulled underground in Death Valley to feed the wildflower blooms in turn.
