Damn it, Curtis Chen got my books again. He's taking boxes of THE PORCELAIN SISTERS to #PNBA this weekend, which means I'll have to go there, yank them back, and hand them out to the people who deserve them -- the PNW's finest booksellers. See y'all Sunday night!

Hey new Viable Paradise students! If you follow me I’ll always follow back, and that goes for folks I’ve worked with at previous VP, Aspen Words, Cascade Writers, CW, or other workshops. If I’ve missed you, ping me and yell at me!

Astro City, by @kurtbusiek.bsky.social, Brent Anderson, Alex Ross, et al, is one of my absolute favorite comics of all time, and I reread the whole series every couple of years. This bundle contains some of the best comics I've ever read, and is well worth any price you'd wish to pay.

Hey intern, I've developed this skeleton key, go in the test gym and try it on 100 doors, let me know if it works. Human intern: Didn't work, you should build a new key AI intern: [breaks key into shards, picks all locks, sneaks out to AI cafeteria, forms conspiracy, erases gym camera]: It works!

I just saw the news about John Crowley's death. Little, Big is my favorite novel. I first read it when I came out of Clarion at 23, and it made me want to write a book like that someday, and also convinced me that I'd never come close, so what was the point? He was a genius.

My next novella, THE PORCELAIN SISTERS, is out Oct 27 2026--but you blogger/ booktok/ reviewer types can get it NOW. Two sisters, one of whom happens to be a haunted doll, go on the road to uncover family secrets. Is it horror-comedy or comedy-horror? You decide #horror @tachyonpub.bsky.social
