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!

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

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
![[Text] Storyteller: A Tanith Lee Tribute. Coming July 1st. “Every tale in Storyteller is a gem—lush, dreamy, delicately strange. Together, they make a compelling argument: Tanith Lee should be on every shelf, writer and reader alike.” --Cadwell Turnbull
"Names like Martha Wells, Andy Duncan, and Nisi Shawl, celebrate the late World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Tanith Lee in this passionate and playful anthology of stories inspired by her work…The result is both a fitting tribute to a master and an enchanting compendium in its own right.” --Publishers Weekly
