🪐📚💙🌶️📚 I've finished reading Emily Paxman's "All We Have Left" -- a cozy post-apocalypse romance set in Canada. I had the privilege of listening to Emily Paxman read a chapter aloud at #worldcon. A wonderful experience, the characters of Kayla and April came to life as she read.

Yeah, sure you've got fan art, but do YOU have a TV Tropes page????? This might just be the greatest thing anyone has ever made for me. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

Hands down "Still Life with Cranberries." It is the angriest, most honest story I have ever written. Bog bodies. Strange plants. A desperate search for yourself in the past. The desire to preserve your experience for those who will come after you. www.unchartedmag.com/stories/stil...

Still Life with Cranberries - Uncharted

Stepping into the glade is like stepping into another world. The landscape is desolate, painted crimson by the thousands of fruiting cranberry vines that claim the bog each fall as the other flora die...

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

The science at the heart of the BEST science fiction is the social sciences. And when it's not, it's because we've dipped all the way into the humanities. Philosophy, history, gender studies, sociology, anthropology, political science, psychology. They are the essence of sci-fi.

I enjoyed that tribal council more than I have 99% of New Era tribals. No forced metaphors relating to someone's occupation! No "what would be YOUR story if this is the end?" Nate and Savannah called out the actual dynamics and put people's feet to the fire. It was messy and wonderful. #survivor49

In the clothing industry, the term CMT stands for "cut, make, trim." It means you are paying someone to cut, make, and trim the garment. Essentially, it's your manufacturing labor cost without taking into account the cost of material. The CMT price for making a shirt in the US is about $35.

Death on the Caldera by Emily Paxman A blend of fantasy and Golden Age crime, set in an unforgiving landscape that steams with sulphur and bubbles with lava. The Linde siblings—Kellen, Davina, and Morel—are anxious to return to the kingdom of Halgyr before their father dies.

$Death on the Caldera by Emily Paxman It's Murder on the Orient Express with witches, for fans of VE Schwab, Leigh Bardugo, Courtney Smyth, as well as Agatha Christie. A blend of fantasy and Golden Age crime, set in an unforgiving landscape that steams with sulphur and bubbles with lava. The Linde siblings—Kellen, Davina, and Morel—are anxious to return to the kingdom of Halgyr before their father dies, leaving Kellen to assume the throne as king. They book tickets on a luxury express train, expecting a swift journey home—but disaster strikes when the train engine explodes, stranding the siblings atop a caldera bubbling with volcanic magic. The crash triggers Davina's latent witch powers, but her magic disrupts her ability to remember what she was doing when the explosion took place. While a witch would be the prime suspect for the explosion, the only ones who knew Davina might become one are her brothers—who never warned her, driving her away from them. And, to add insult to injury, somebody is bumping off the surviving train crew and passengers. But it can't be Davina, can it? While the surviving passengers try to determine who sabotaged the engine and catch the killer, the fractured siblings attempt to stay one step ahead, concealing not only Davina's powers but their own secrets. Luckily, they aren't the only shifty characters on the train. But that small degree of good fortune quickly sours when powerful men turn up dead, suggesting the saboteur is still at work. And who better a mark for the murderer than the heirs to a foreign throne?$
