Now down to less than $1000 to be fully funded! You could be the one to take them over the top (and receive extremely fine SF/F stories and features in the bargain)!

Peter Morwood, an incredible author, passed suddenly two weeks ago. Here's a chance to explore some of his writings and help out his family.
I was informed that @peter.petermorwood.com had a book on sale. I was surprised. The Book of Years Omnibus, for $2. In honor of him, and @diane.dianeduane.com, 10 uncached US Kindle copies. If you read it and like it, please say good things about it publicly.

Yes, it was so fun to collaborate on these diagrams! At first glance they may *look* like fairly ordinary "most history books have things like this" diagrams, but a lot of thoughtful & even subversive & progressive choices can go into such diagrams. The politics of diagramming, a thread: 1/?
I just got my copy of @adapalmer.bsky.social’s new book, INVENTING THE RENAISSANCE, which I’m really looking forward to reading.

But my first stop in the book is right at the front, to see the family crests and diagrams I drew for the book. And they look great. I’m tickled.
