I'll be at Arisia, in Boston on Martin Luther King Day weekend!
SFF of Resistance - Friday 8:30PM - Gillian Daniels, T.X. Watson, Ruthanna Emrys, Meredith Schwartz, Eric in the Elevator
In a time of rising authoritarianism around the world, many of us turn to stories as an escape from the grim parade of daily news. But there is more than escape in ( Read more... ) -
The Last Jedi - Coming of Age
My favorite thing about The Last Jedi--well, one of my favorite things--

Winter Tide
In Innsmouth, of course, they appreciate long nights:
We walked down to the boundary of the waves, where the cool and giving sand turned hard and damp. Charlie’s night vision was poor, but he followed readily and crouched beside me, careful not to put too much weight on his knee. He winced only a little when a rivulet washed over
his bare feet.

Patreon Musings
For reasons having to do with my great hunger for deadlines, and for small writing prompts to get my brain in gear--and now that they seem to have sworn off idiocy for a while--I'm thinking about starting a Patreon. My schedule being what it is, I'm also thinking about cool things I could share that would be less time-consuming and more fun-- ( Read more... ) -
Update on Deep Roots
I've just finished the proof edits on Deep Roots, so we should be on track for July publication. The release date is currently set to July 9th. This is more appropriate than Winter Tide's April release date, since the story takes place during a muggy New York June. These are very seasonal books.

Winter Tide for free; Lovecraft Reread meanders; Deep Roots

OutWrite and Necronomicon Schedules
They are the Rodney Dangerfields of Lovecraft’s work: the dreaded revisions! Consisting of stories edited and often completely rewritten by Lovecraft, they tend to be overlooked by many readers and scholars. Yet, Lovecraft’s work on his client’s stories elevated many of them from mere hackwork to excellent examples not only of his own prose and ( Read more... ) -
Five Things
I've been somewhat neglectful here. So, a low-stress post in which I don't try to go into anything in depth, because cramps, and because the summer's round of one-thing-after-another doesn't actually finish up for another month.
1) Readercon was awesome and a thing I want to go back to. I wasn't on program this year, which is something I want to ( Read more... )
