On this trip to New York, I just got one book at the @strandbookstore.bsky.social’s Mark Z. Danielewski event. But at nearly 1250 pages, I feel like this one will contain multitudes.

Quick photo of my ever-growing free bookmark collection! It’s very possible that I spend more energy picking a bookmark for whatever I’m reading than I do picking an outfit for the day. 📚

While in Oklahoma City, I found Bookish bookstore-Caboose Coffee - a really charming used bookstore/coffee shop that hosts regular literary events and sells dangerously nice oatmeal cream pies!

On this trip to Oklahoma, I finally managed to make a stop at the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur. A great center with a traditional village, dance demonstrations, exhibits and films on Chickasaw history, a restaurant and (of course) a bookshop! 📚

While back in Oklahoma for a few days I discovered Boarding House Books in Claremore. A used bookstore that looks like it’s cozily merged with my grandma’s living room. Grandma, like me, loved influential Native literature and old timey photos of naked strongmen.

I’m delighted that my story about demonic exes and doppelgängers, “The Replacement,” found a home in Issue 44 of Dark Horses Magazine!

Paul Lynch was at the Irish Cultural Center of Paris last night. His thoughts on the historical rise and fall of rationality was interesting, if bleak. Though his statement on fiction’s ability to inspire empathy, where other information sources fail, was surely inspiring to any writers in the crowd

Final obligatory book haul photo. The stands in the Creators’ Hall have helped add more glorious wordy weight to my bookshelves, I’m looking at you @lunapress.bsky.social, @knighterrantpress.bsky.social and Daphne Press! (16/17)

All good things end and the perfectly-named final event was Happily Never After with @sarahreesbrennan.bsky.social and @ryherman.bsky.social. Their comments on the how fairy tales evolve to fit social norms were fascinating, inspiring, sometimes terrifying and sometimes hilarious! (15/17)

After that was the open mic hosted by the wonderful @mkhardywrites.com where it was a massive (and nerve-racking) pleasure to get to read next to a bunch of really brilliant writers! Every year I’m blown away by the vibrancy and diversity of the SFFH writing community in Edinburgh! (14/17)

After that was “Folklores and Other Stories” with @vlatinalondon.bsky.social, @lyndseycroal.bsky.social and @gustaffovargas.bsky.social. The talk on modernizing, adapting, translating and interpreting folklores was so brilliant that the books sold out before I could get to the bookseller! 😱 (13/17)

Sunday was a bit calmer, Started of with an Inside SFFH publishing discussion with @kirstenlaaaang.bsky.social from @zenoagency.bsky.social, who talked about querying agents, the submission process, how agents work with writers and how trends change and repeat themselves in the SFFH market. (12/17)

Finished off this literature marathon with a celebration of ten years of “Shoreline of Infinity” - a great magazine of Scottish speculative fiction! The SFFH inspired music of @pcpq.bsky.social was brilliant and the readings were wonderful! What a way to finish the day! (11/17)

Next was What Blood Buys with @iameeadams.bsky.social and @samkhorton.bsky.social whose books explore Appalachian and Cornish folklore in new contexts. Adams’ thoughts on imperfect protagonists and Horton’s stories of the more “murdery” parts of folklore added two new books to my tbr list! (10/17)

The next panel, License to Write with @vlatinalondon.bsky.social and @clclark.bsky.social , was the filled to the brim with fans! I loved the discussion on writing characters vulnerabilities. Also, my jaw dropped every ten seconds or so at how superhumanly prolific these two writers are! (9/17)

Next was the panel discussion on time travel with @bingewriting.bsky.social, @roisinmcd.bsky.social and Adam Oyebanji. Really interesting thoughts on writing as an act of time traveling, advocating for the future requiring dialogue with the past and how memory and time form identity. (7/17)

Then I went to the Inside SFFH publishing panel with @jessgofton.bsky.social, PR and Marketing Manager at Solaris. An informative discussion into how PR and marketing teams work with authors. (6/17)
