A few years ago, seemingly on a whim, @ofbooksandbikes.bsky.social and @ds228.bsky.social and I started a podcast. And it’s been a tremendous amount of fun. Today’s zippy conversation was a celebration. Of our friendship and shared loves of literature. ❤️
Exciting day for the pod! Recorded the conversation that will feature as the afterword to the forthcoming @unnamedpress.bsky.social edition of Sarah Orne Jewett's MARSH ISLAND!

I’ve been sitting on announcing this was coming until it had a cover, but I am so excited about every bit of this!
Just glad I get to share my love of Sinclair Lewis with the world (and hang with @nissaren.bsky.social in the process!)

Anyway preorder this new edition of Fanny Hill with a forward by me and a conversation with @stoya.bsky.social. It'll titillate your twin orbs and perhaps induce a balsamic injection.

Reminder that Fanny Hill was banned, litigated, expurgated, rereleased, banned, litigated, edited, rereleased, banned in the UK, banned in the US, litigated, rereleased, and now faces potential bans again. All this for a book with no expletives and espouses a clearly capitalist bourgeoise agenda.

Reinstate Gretchen Felker-Martin. Caving to right-wing trolls, bots, and edgelords paves the way to the eradication of our First Amendment rights.
It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
