I explore the vast wonders of science fiction. I imagine the magical realms of fantasy. And I reflect on the disturbing truths of horror. All of this mostly in book form.

Nettie finds herself stressed in middle school, dealing with bullies. After crossing paths with Mason, a blue light in a jar, a soul who had been held captive by the Shepherd, a creature that steals souls and keeps them in jars in Purgatory, her world turns upside down. #HorrorBooks #booksky

I just saw a video of a man offering to review 'small authors' if they send him a $200 deposit, an $800 payment for a video review, and the free book atop that. Do NOT pay for reviews. Do NOT pay for reviews. Do NOT pay for reviews. The AUDACITY of those prices. Oh my gosh.

In one week, the CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD 4 tour begins. NJ and Chicago are non-ticketed launch parties/signings. Just show up early. All other dates are ticketed events: you can arrive without a ticket and *maybe* get a book, but I’d advise booking now. Esp stops w/ guests. Cya!

Another AI casualty. 😕 An entire anthology was cancelled and *an entire imprint* was shut down because they were flooded with AI stories and couldn't fully verify which ones were written by humans. 😭 RIP, "Tales From Sherwood Forest." RIP, "Myths & Legends" imprint. 1/3 🧵
Email screenshot:

"Thank you for your submission to "The Gren-Wode: Tales From Sherwood Forest". It is with sadness that I am writing to you to let you know that we will not be moving forward with the anthology (or with the "Myths & Legends" imprint in general).

The landscape of open submissions for fiction and poetry has shifted over the past few years. No more so, in our experience, than with this anthology. We have been flooded with a large volume of clear AI/LLM submissions. We have also received a lot of submissions that feel like they are in a gray area where they are likely AI/LLM created or assisted. The increased volume may be timing and the state of submissions in the fiction world right now, or it may be due in part to the fact that we were focusing on characters and stories that are already in the public domain and have a large volume of material already scraped into generative tooling. It is a simple thing to spit out variations, and it seems that many people out there have realized this.

It is a core part of our mission to support human expression and connection; not commerce, not clever machine rearrangement, etc. As a result, we have come to the difficult decision to cancel this and future publications from this imprint. We appreciate your time, your interest, your support, and are very sorry that things have gone this way.

Best wishes,
Sloum"

My story in another Duck Prints Press anthology? More likely than you think! Wild and Full of Marvels is thiiis close to funding! Can't wait for you to read "Beyond Earthlight"🥰 Go grab some whimsy! #shortstory #anthology #sciencefiction #booksky #kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/duc...
The cover of a book Wild and Full of Marvels, with a white mermaid & a dark-skinned woman; beneath it a white page reads “Beyond Earthlight” by E. V. Dean. Around it there are five tropes/key words: Moon Settlement, Love in Unlikely Places, Second Chances, F/F, Inspired by Hansel and Gretel.Text containing two paragraphs from the story Beyond Earthlight. My light falls on a wall with markings made not by fire but by a human hand. The spray paint forms curses at the citizens of Primor, at the governments, at the Moon itself. One tall-lettered line stands out: “Beware the Bony Witch.” The last two words are crossed out and corrected to: “Beware the Smelly Jebby.” The man who bought the failed colony project of the First City and built the modern metropoly on its foundations hardly deserves the mockery. The Bony Witch sounds way scarier. Below it, there’s a link: kickstarter.com/profile/duckprintspress

Proud that New York is one of 12 states suing to stop Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

This is not a merger that serves the public. It would hand one company nearly a third of the movies and cable channels Americans watch, raise prices for streaming and cable, endanger the livelihoods of thousands of New York artists and entertainment workers, and threaten to shutter theaters across our city. 

New York's workers helped build this industry. They should not be sacrificed for the sake of further corporate consolidation.

Times are rough, find your people, double down on connection with the ones you already have in your circles and slowly, creatively, expand your circles. I'm incredibly serious when I say that these communities, these systems of care we are building outside of capitalism, are what will save us.
