Had a great time partying with @jeanneadams.bsky.social & friends at the best #Halloween house in all of the DMV. Also got to see folks I've been missing far too long, like Kathryn Anderson, smiling here with Jeanne (aka the Pink Panther), yours truly, & @gregoriusu.bsky.social as the Penguin.

Okay, I admit to checking, because I've never had a small press title hit any Amazon list before. But dang, I'm glad I did. INTERGALACTIC REJECTS is #19 in Fantasy Short Stories! And don't forget, you can still get your copy in paper and electrons from all your favorite retailers. :D

W00t! It's only one category (Fantasy Short Stories) and only one format (Paper), but for however long it lasts, the @calendaroffools.bsky.social #antho INTERGALACTIC REJECTS has hit an #Amazon top 100 list. Check it out www.amazon.com/Intergalacti...

I haven't promoted my #website, #JeanMarieWard.com, over the past year, because my webmaster's server was hacked. His sites lost their security certificates, & the data was hopelessly corrupted. But a friend has helped me rebuild using the #WaybackMachine. With luck we'll relaunch this week! :D
May 13, 2025 at 1:28 AM
Guess what arrived in today's mail! INTERGALACTIC REJECTS, the fabulous #anthology by @calendaroffools.bsky.social featuring Samuel Delaney, @kevinjanderson.bsky.social, @robertjsawyer.com, ME, & many more. You don't want to miss this one. Pre-order today at amzn.to/4m7cFzr .

Rescued a live #gartersnake no bigger than a child's shoelace from the kitchen garbage this AM and safely transported it outside. Not the worst way to start a weekend. :D But danged if I know how it got inside in the first place. (Photo by Wilson44691, Wikipedia)

Seen on today's walk. Really brilliant. Also, really sad.

Remember, this includes Amazon, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, Twitch, Amazon MGM Studios, Zappos, Wordery, Audible, Washington Post, & a whole lot more. Don't look at the free stuff, either. Eyeballs on WaPo newsletters mean $$$ in JB's pockets too.

“Burning Down the House,” the first novella in my Sorcerer vs. Sorcerer series from @gingerbluepublish.bsky.social, hits the virtual shelves in less than two weeks. Think #DumbAndDumber or #SpyVsSpy, only with magic. Until then, revel in that gorgeous cover. My loopy sorcerers never had it so good.

Obviously, I plan to participate in tomorrow's economic blackout, upcoming no-buy weeks, and future blackouts. My reasons and thoughts on the reactions I've received can be on Blogspot <https://jeanmarieward.blogspot.com/>. Start small and build. Thanks.

Reference: www.wbaltv.com/article/cold... Also, for the folks paying $20,000 a head to attend tonight's event at the #WatergateHotel, this is the United States. The word is "inauguration" NOT "coronation."
