I’m wrapping up my visit to Brighton. @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social has been brilliant! There are still a few copies of Storyteller at the book table by the Art Room. If you want, grab a copy and help me not have to lug them all back to Massachusetts!

You can also find copies of Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology at the book table near the art show (part of the main convention space)!

All of which is to say, we just crossed the 1000 copies sold mark with Storyteller!!!!! It's available @bookshop.org @weightlessbooks.bsky.social and many other online retailers. Plus directly from Essential Dreams Press at tanithleestoryteller.com.

Two lovely reviews for Storyteller just showed up! I'll be on the Tanith Lee panel at the World Fantasy Convention later this month. If you haven't picked up a copy yet, you can find it at all the usual places, including tanithleestoryteller.com

Feeling confident enough to share first lines. Always a unreliable feeling, I know, when actively working on a draft!😂

Just over 70% through the rewrite of my Meissen Eyes novella! I'm trying not to get all up in my own head. I still haven't hit any insurmountable problems. It's science fiction horror (or something along those lines). Here's The Sleepwalker by Maxmilián Pirner which was the initial inspiration.

Happy birthday to the late Tanith Lee! To celebrate, we're featuring a guest post by @rinrocio.bsky.social, author of the incredible “On Her Crown a Head of Twelve Stars." Indulge in Rocío’s velvet prose as she contemplates the joy of beautiful books

After ReaderCon we headed to southern Wales to explore Swansea and the Gower. Heading back to London on the train gives me a bit of time for another discovery. With just 1 day until STORYTELLER’s 4-week-aversary there are almost 900 copies out in the world!

My partner and I are sharing LJ Cohen’s multiverse novel Litany for a Broken World while traveling. I picked it up at Readercon & now as I watch Tom read, I’m regretting my offer to share. I want it back! It’s one of those books that just keeps getting better. @sarahpinsker.bsky.social

STORYTELLER: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology dropped a week ago on July 1st! (tanithleestoryteller.com) Today we biked to our final little free library and left a copy of STORYTELLER and Tanith’s novella collection Fatal Women.

Between the Kickstarter & general preorders, we've just crossed the 600 preorder mark. And that's with two days left until Storyteller's release date! It's been a curving long road, but Storyteller is a lovely anthology and one that truly reflects Tanith Lee's widespread legacy on contempory fiction
June 29, 2025 at 8:48 PM
6 days and counting! The release date is July 1st for STORYTELLER: A TANITH LEE TRIBUT ANTHOLOGY! And yes, I’ve dropped off another copy of Storyteller + a Tanith Lee novel at a little free library!
June 25, 2025 at 3:10 PM
Preorders open!
The countdown continues! 7 DAYS UNTIL STORYTELLER’s PUBLICATION DAY!

Available in both ebook & print.

This year Readercon will be hosting a Storyteller group reading / launch event. I'll be there, along with some Storyteller authors (Mike Allen, Maya Deane, Marisca Pichette & Michael Yuya Montroy) and one of the anthology's coeditors Carina Bissett. There'll be books, swag, and cake!
June 12, 2025 at 9:31 PM
I just released the ebook version of Storyteller to Kickstarter backers (ahead of the ebook and print publication date of July 1st.) It feels more than a bit surreal!
June 12, 2025 at 1:09 PM
I've been mucking around with fulfillment of Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute Anthology, finalizing shipping charges & addresses. The contributor copies are on their way! The ebook for Kickstarter backers will go out in about 2 weeks, with the print book following on release day: July 1st!
