At the top of the hour, I need one (1) lunch and the start of 2k (2000) words.

I got a Batman sticker at the ER today. That is to say: I may be slow to reply to emails, thank you.

It's Batman, you know the guy. He's swinging around the skyscrapers with...Wonder Woman's lasso??? A mystery.

I'm reading THE NIGHT SWEEPS THE MOUNTAINS AWAY by Tanvir Ahmed, and it is a DELIGHT. It's coming in February from Dancing Star Press. dancingstarpress.com

On the novella cover, a lantern-lit woman sits with a pale dog, overlooking a gray-green mountain valley. The title text is in orange.

Planning. @elizmccrack.bsky.social's book reminds me of @alexanderchee.bsky.social's 100 Things About Writing a Novel, which I also read this year.

A Long Game by Elizabeth McCracken sits on top of a 2026 planner. Both have blue covers.

Yes, I can describe him, officer.

The December Science Fiction World Magazine out of China has a translation of "Beyond Porch and Portal" by me--which is about how Poe created all the worlds he did. Looks like @aptshadow.bsky.social is also front and center on this amazing cover.

The December cover of Science Fiction World Magazine, showing a shadowed figure surrounded by weapons and tools of all sorts. Chinese text down the figure's center talks about Adrian Tchaikovsky's story.

The illustration for "Beyond Porch and Portal" shows Edgar Poe trying to sleep, but tentacled monsters are bursting into his room.

The title page for "Beyond Porch and Portal" shows that the translator made lots of footnotes for my story--I'm excited to read them!!

Happiest book day to @alixeharrow.bsky.social and THE EVERLASTING, a book with a knight, a scholar, the best horse, a cursed tree, and KISSING. Alix debuted in Shimmer and has done only remarkable things since then. Congratulations on every success. 🌳🐴⚔️📚

The Everlasting by Alex E. Harrow. The book cover shows a sword reflecting a woman's face intertwined with countless colorful flowers

The interior end papers for The Everlasting. It shows a classical fantasy map in blue and white.

An interior illustration of the knight. She lays on a bier with roses, clutching her sword, still in her armor, her hair spilling everywhere. Her face is a beautiful wreck.
