Hey nerds! (sorry Bookborn, don't let me do that again) - what does the author calendar look like? Well I've got a bunch in November that haven't picked dates yet, but these are all of our "in stone" interviews coming up.

gryftkin @gryftkin.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Hey #horrorwatch , don't forget to set your calendar. Sep 25th at 7PM Central, you can join @pauljessup.com and me as we present our 3rd annual Horror Recs from Horror Authors livestream, where real horror authors tell you what they think you'll enjoy for spooky season. youtube.com/live/lbCGajt...

The duology was so good. Looking forward to seeing more in this world.

My bread and butter is still author interviews, but I am catching up on my book reviews if that's something you find interesting. #bookreview #thedragonhassomecomplaints #johnwiswell youtu.be/bjbXUfA9I24

Dang it @premeemohamed.com - I'm never going to be able to look at a lamprey the same again! 😂

We had a little reschedule happen, but the livestream should happen in about 45 minutes with @adamwritestuff.bsky.social youtube.com/live/nt9e7uT...

Live with Adam Tierney: 13 Demons Dead... well, hopefully

#booksky The race to 4 K is on (in February, YouTube is moving the goal posts for the YPP and will be doubling the needed number of watch hours in the last 365 days). If you like author interviews - V.E. Schwab, Scott Lynch, Martha Wells, Jim Butcher, actress Kelly Bishop, Josh Malerman - come watch

@drpepperofficial.bsky.social I can see what you're going for with the A&W Root Beer Float cans, but I gotta admit, it's giving me much more "butterscotch" or even "butter rum" vibes than an actual root beer float. Not bad, but not what I was expecting ;)

It didn’t look like a Party murder. Certainly, Cyprian hadn’t been told to expect one— and the Ministry of the Interior had a dedicated hotline for sanctioned political murders. Richard Swan. The Infinite State Nice, @richardswanauthor.bsky.social 😂

gryftkin @gryftkin.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Hey everyone, we have a livestream coming up tomorrow at 6PM Central and here is the calendar for everyone in stone (editor's note - the Richard Swan interview is still on, but it likely to be posted at a different time) I will be having an interview with voice actor/narrator Janelle Wiebe soon.

Someone used one of my interviews as a reference on Wikipedia 😳 Am I official now? 😂

gryftkin @gryftkin.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

If I wasn’t already excited enough to interview @premeemohamed.com about her upcoming book Wickhills, I just heard it recommended (unprompted, she had no idea Premee was on my calendar) by Elizabeth Bear. She hasn’t steered me wrong yet.

gryftkin @gryftkin.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Hey all, I have a new channel trailer up on my YouTube page. I will probably not be updating this again anytime soon, but it has EVERY author I've interviewed on the channel except the last two (C.S. Friedman and Rebecca Thorne) youtu.be/Ip_YSUUL6_4

@rebeccathorne.bsky.social - this may be silly, but relistening to the interview, I kind of want to see that aquarium/spaceship set in this universe 😅 youtu.be/_7A8SP0iqhc

Nobody writes "human emotional stupidity" quite like @wiswell.bsky.social 😅 "Most humans lived in various states of amorous derangement anyway. Being nearly blown to bits had simply elevated her questionable decision-making to another level." John Wiswell. The Dragon Has Some Complaints

I know you're not supposed to buy a book for the cover, but that cover just works... although with a name like @drslayton.bsky.social I was expecting it to be in the horror bin and Blackstone has it listed as Fantasy 😅

Well that was weird and disturbing #horrorwatch - I'm totally going to go to sleep with no issues tonight :P

I'm so confused #horrorwatch - wasn't she WITH him while the house burned? How was he there to take the photo?

Who had "teacher snow blown" on their bingo card #horrorwatch ?

Producer call: But what if we make them ALL crazy serial killers? #horrorwatch

061

This is turning out to be the smallest graduating class ever #horrorwatch

050

I know you've been singlehandedly killing everyone, but how about I have a one on one conversation with you and use phrases like "are you crazy?" and "that's stupid"? #horrorwatch

030

Forget vampires, demons, monsters... nothing scarier than teenage girls #horrorwatch :D

It's snowing out! Where are your gloves? #horrorwatch

Did no one explain to her what "timeout" means? #horrorwatch

Self preservations skills = 0 #horrorwatch This is the part where you run.

I don't think there is enough therapy in the world for these kids... #horrorwatch

Reading @rebeccathorne.bsky.social Moss’d in Space and having a fun time of it. Remind me not to get on Moss’ bad side😂

Reading Nightborn by C.S. Friedman and I thought of you @adrianmgibson.bsky.social she’s rocking the mycorrhizal network

If you ever wonder why I'm always behind on my TBR - someone just commented on my interview with Margaret Rogerson from 2022 - which then reminded me that Margaret told me I need to read @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social and @franceshardinge.bsky.social - I will never real all the books! 😂

Ok #horrorwatch - I know I don't catch them all, but I think that's the best one I've watched in a long time.

The irony of a woman complaining that a man brought up something from five years ago... (I'll put myself in timeout) #horrorwatch

Yuki, I know I just stood still and did nothing while the shamaness whipped you like 8 times in a row, but I swear they won't lay a finger on you! #horrorwatch

Gotta admit the special effects are pretty dang good for 1968 #horrorwatch

That's not impressive... my wife's feet are at least that cold #horrorwatch
