A Covenant of Ice is out today in North Am! It wasn’t written by AI in any way. The cover art is human made. My publisher & editor are cool beans. @solarisbooks.bsky.social
If you want to support art being made by humans, for humans, give my anti-colonial, queer+ dragon book a go geni.us/ishia

I don't have a side in this Series and the tension is killing me. A Game 7 does that.

Time to update the thread. I don't remember who, but I saw the cover of The Mountain Crown by Karin Lowachee posted here a few times, I'm into novellas, and who doesn't like dragons so now I have the whole trilogy. They're great! (34/?)

This is GORGEOUS. Can we normalize literature in the genre world that can be esoteric and difficult because Odin forbid the prose doesn’t hit you over the head with easy answers or doesn’t need to be understood on literal levels all the time.
A page from a dark fantasy book I’ve been working on with @danieldwyer.bsky.social.
Consensus so far is it’s too esoteric and puzzling for most publishers. We will try to find a way to bring this to life one way or another. It’s a story world we know is odd but begs to live and to be read.

Since it's Black Speculative Fiction Month, I thought I'd share a story I love by a Black author each day. Since I'm starting 10 days in, I'll post a bunch to catch up. I'm going to do 15 from the Top 80 of Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy and 15 from Lightspeed/Nightmare.

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.
What We Can Do About ICE
ICE is in the Bay Area. And yes, we can all do something about it.

I didn’t think anything could beat Peaky Blinders but House of Guinness is just as good. Along with Rogue Heroes, Steven Knight might just be my favourite. FANTASTIC writing and character work across all 3 series.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.
If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

I wanted to see that scene/narrative so I just wrote it myself 😆🙏🏼🐉
Also the imagery of an old west-style horseback journey accompanied by a dragon is great

The Mountain Crown by Karin Lowachee has a timelessness to the writing style I’m really enjoying, a focus on detail and movement of both dragons and people

Thank u for the boost! Just to be clear tho I’m not Indigenous (my family comes from 3 different cultures & settled in S. America in the 19th C, many working as indentured servants), I just try to write honestly & responsibly, inspired by many of the same concerns of Indigenous peoples worldwide. 🙏🏼
Yesterday was Indigenous People's Day, but Indigiqueer reads can be enjoyed all year long.
I have recommended quite a few queer books by Indigenous authors in the past, but this week's recs are fresh and full of good stories.

The full conversation is on Netflix but here’s Jane Goodall’s final message to the world. Growing up with an awareness of her and others like Dian Fossey impacted me deeply. No doubt influenced my writing even now and my love and affection for all of nature. ❤️
