My Cli-fi story, Taking Root, has officially been published with @onspecmag.bsky.social ! I’m especially pleased this story found a home in a Canadian magazine and in such great company!
Digital version available now and print upcoming in January.
Love that cover!

But frankly, if your business is entirely run on Stealing Things That Don't Belong To You And Selling Them, I'm fine with you not having a business anymore.

this is a lot of people to be deeply disappointed in (and a lot of nonsense casting, not that that matters anywhere near as much)

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS!

Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot.

Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

I’m a fan of everything in this post. Also a great read if you’re interested in the contract situation with MRM and those magazines now under that umbrella.
Thank you for holding your ground to set precedent for the rest of us. @cornellwriter.bsky.social

My collection UNCERTAIN SONS comes out soon, and early copies are already going out to folks who pre-ordered (racing the de minimis change in tariffs!). Now's a great time to pre-order if you're thinking about it. Here's what @wiswell.bsky.social said (art by @cdsart.bsky.social). Thanks, John!

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

Oh hey it turns out another thing Covid cautious people have been saying nonstop for several years is true: lockdowns did not cause “immunity debt,” and Covid infections DO cause immune disruptions that make you more vulnerable to other illnesses.

Oh my God!? We've been added to the Library of Congress. A literary magazine that I make for fun in my basement as my midlife crisis has been added to the historical record, called the uh, ahem, Taco Bell Quarterly. We are the most prestigious literary magazine of all time.

Happening now:
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers.

I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

Question. Maybe it’s dumb idk.
What are other countries doing in response to the concentration camps being used and built in El Salvador? Can’t they tax imports from El Salvador? Would pressure from Europe, Canada and countries around the world on El Salvador make a difference here?
