All great stories share one special ingredient. Epic Fantasy? Steamy Romance? Hard SciFi? Look carefully and you'll find it: someone getting hit with a briefcase full of bees.

That thing where somebody says they have a great book idea and if you write it they’ll split the profits 50/50?
I know, I know. But guys? My ideas are SO GREAT!

This is my new favorite fact.
I mentioned earlier that they chew on Nile Crocodiles - I wasn't kidding, baby Hippos use them as teething rings since the texture of their scales is satisfying to gum.

I've just heard from my publisher @titanbooks.bsky.social - the warehouse is out of the special edition of DREADFUL with the sprayed edges. Which means the only ones left are currently in @barnesandnoble.com stores across the US. So if you want one, better get moving!

Happy launch to R.J.Halbert's SERVANT! Last night's launch party at 30 Rock was so warm that it almost (not quite) overcame the glamour. What a great group of colleagues and friends!

Clarkesworld was one of the first online magazines I submitted to. They eventually published one of my favourite short stories that I've written (drafted over one night, not sure I can do that anymore), 'muo-ka's Child'. Help Neil keep the lights on at one of sff's best magazines:

People see huge backlists and assume that means people are raking in cash but I am telling you, esp writers who have been at it for twenty years: the book you buy might be the only sale for that title all month long. I've got old stuff that only sells one or two copies a year.

Had a nice catch-up lunch with @kradec.bsky.social, which was lovely on a social level. But he also gave me a suggestion that fixes a structural problem in a thing I'm working on. Yay writer friends!

Canned pumpkin hack - I keep having recipes that only use part of a can. I've started stirring half a cup of the leftovers into my oatmeal as it cooks. It's delicious!

Oh geez - I just found out that my publicist emailed me the morning I had surgery, we had a whole exchange about scheduling a call for this week, and I never gave her a time. I have NO MEMORY of this conversation.
